[Ipe-announce] Ipe 7.2.10 is out

[Otfried Cheong]

Ipe 7.2.10 is now available in source form, as a Windows binary, and as a Mac OS X app on the Ipe homepage at http://ipe.otfried.org. Linux binaries will appear as they are built.

The main new feature in this release is the new companion program IpePresenter (see below).  Ipe 7.2.10 also fixes the broken Undo on OSX.

IpePresenter (Windows and Linux only) is a tool for giving PDF presentations, and works both for presentations made with Ipe and those made using beamer.  

IpePresenter opens two windows - one you move to the external monitor and make it full screen, so that your audience can see your slides.  Your own window displays the current slide, the next slide, the page notes you wrote for each slide (if you use beamer, you can make notes using the pdfcomment package), and a running timer.

While the UI is still the same as in Dmitriy Morozov's program, IpePresenter now uses the PDF contents of your documents, so it works for exported Ipe presentations (without Ipe markup) and also for presentations made in Latex using the beamer package. 

IpePresenter will work in Windows running from a USB-stick, with nothing installed on the host computer.  No Latex is needed on the presentation computer either.

Enjoy,

Ipe 7.2.10 (2019-02-04)

 * IpePresenter companion program on Windows and Linux, to show PDF
   presentations (made with Ipe or beamer). The presenter's display
   shows the current slide, the next slide, the slide notes, and a
   running clock.  The audience sees only the current slide.
   IpePresenter relies entirely on the PDF file, so no Latex is needed
   for a presentation.
 
 * Move to modern C++: use nullptr consistently, compile with C++17,
   starting to use unique_ptr and shared_ptr.

 * Page notes are saved as PDF annotations (feature #187).

 * Fixed strange conversion of labels to math mode (bug #211).

 * Implemented undo/redo both in Ipe and in dialog text fields on OSX
   (bug #212).

 * Can now change direction of horizontal scrolling (with Alt+Scroll
   wheel) using prefs.scroll.direction.x.
