Thanks man
Mieru is so moe!!

Re: [Announce] Mieru: a flexible manga and comic book reader
 

Just a short notice - a new Mieru version with a Qt Components GUI will be released in the coming days.

It will first be released for Harmattan (N9 & N950) and then then for Fremantle (N900), once some Fremantle Qt Components issues are resolved.

A few highlights:

• more fluent and touch friendly UI
• improved kinetic scrolling
• on screen paging buttons
• pinch zoom on Harmattan

nice, cant wait!

Release announcement repost from the other Mieru thread on forum.meego.com.

I have not yet really tested this new Mieru version with Qt Components based GUI on Fremantle, but it should hopefully run without requiring many changes.

It is my pleasure to introduce Mieru - a flexible manga and comic book reader.
Mieru (見える) is a Japanese word that can be translated as to be seen, to look or to appear.

Re: [Announce] Mieru: a flexible manga and comic book reader
 

Eagerly awaiting to see Fremantle's port.

Re: [Announce] Mieru: a flexible manga and comic book reader
 

As the Qt Components (a major dependency of the new Mieru UI) port has seen big improvements recently, I will be getting to this shortly.

Also:

Testers needed ! :)
Mieru is one positive testing report away from entering the main Apps for meego repository.
What needs to be done ?
If want to help, just follow the Apps for MeeGo testing guidelines and fill in the test form on the Mieru testing page. Don't forget the Should the application be in this application catalog ? checkbox! :)

Thanks in advance !

Re: [Announce] Mieru: a flexible manga and comic book reader
 

I'm on it!

Re: [Announce] Mieru: a flexible manga and comic book reader
 

Thanks for the vote !

Also, thanks to all the other testers ! :D

Mieru is now in the Apps for MeeGo main repository and can be easily installed using the Apps for MeeGo client ! :D

Or even easier, just scan the attached QR code and press Download (you need to have a QR code scanning application like MeeScan and the the Apps for MeeGo client installed for this to work. :) ).

Re: [Announce] Mieru: a flexible manga and comic book reader
 

That vote was somebody else and Wow that was fast!

Re: [Announce] Mieru: a flexible manga and comic book reader
 

The new version looks really nice, But since I "only" have an N900 I can't use it (yet). So any news about a N900/Fremantle Version ;) ?
