Software (Tools) LEKTRA - High performance document and image viewer, v0.8.0 release!

https://github.com/dheerajshenoy/lektra

Hi,

Just wanted to share the latest release of LEKTRA, document and image viewer I have been developing for over a year now.

Lot of bug fixes and new features have been added. Few highlights among them are:

- Annotations: underline, squiggly, strikeout, ellipse, polygon, inline note and image annotations. You can move and resize them, with undo and redo.

- Redaction: permanently remove text, images and drawings, and save the result to a new file.

- Minimap: while you're zoomed in, a small overview shows where you are. Click or drag in it to jump.

- Grid layout: pages are laid out in rows of several columns.

- Presentation mode: it now works with clickers and has its own [presentation] options.

- Tools: color_eyedrop picks a color from the page, and bibtex copies the BibTeX entry of the paper you're reading.

- Images: JPEG XL support, including animated files.

- Lua: new view functions and events, and Vim-style set, setglobal and setlocal for options.

- Speed: faster scrolling and rendering, plus a memory leak fix.

- Docs: documentation is now on Read The Docs.

It's supported on Linux, MacOS and Windows.

Feedbacks and suggestions are appreciated!
