Hello everyone,

I have a beta release ready for cbrPager for Maemo 0.9.26. Can't let you guys spend a week without one, right?

This release adds the oft-requested next page pre-fetching (caching). It doesn't improve time to next page as much as one may think (then again, it doesn't really improve it a lot with Comix either), but there is a noticeable difference regardless; it's maybe twice as fast for an American comic book. If you have auto-rotate turned on, it may be a bit slower because I don't cache the rotated version.

However, since it's a relatively complex modification to the code base, I've decided to postpone the upload to Maemo extras.

Thus, if anyone wants to be my beta tester, go ahead and install it from extras-devel, or from https://garage.maemo.org/frs/downloa...26-1_armel.deb .

And let me know if it craps out in any way Don't worry, I've done some tests already, and it shouldn't make your tablet go up in flames (literally, or figuratively through RAM exhaustion). But I haven't tried breaking it in all possible ways although I did try a few zany scenarios. So any user testing is welcome.

To enable next page prefetching/caching, go to the Behavior tab of the configuration dialog. It's the last checkbox at the bottom.

Finally, I've also fixed the annoying "show scrollbars when full screen is always set even if I reset it last time" bug.

Enjoy this beta release, and please let me know if it works well--in which case I'll promote it to extras.
