20/02/2008 ReadManiac goes Open Source

Due to complete loss of interest to J2ME programming, I'm stoping project support and starting SourceForge project. Whether this is a death of project, or group of talented developers will keep it evolving, will be known in nearest future.

Large interface font, improved bookmarks, default text formatting options and bugfixes. See Version history for details.

25/01/2006 Version 2.5.1

Arabic, Hebrew and Greek support +bugfixes for version 2.5.
See Version history for details.

10/01/2006 Version 2.5

LITE books with images, TINY core, filesystem access on Motorola C650, optimized ZIP extraction, full manual and several bugfixes. This version took a lot of time for development, but also became a major step in ReadManiac improvement.
