[OS X TeX] ANN: Présentation.app 3.3.0 released

[rndblnch@ouvaton]

I am happy to announce the release of Présentation.app 3.3.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Présentation.app is a presentation tool for pdf slides (e.g. produced using LaTeX and the popular beamer class) for Mac OS X.
You can download this release here: http://iihm.imag.fr/blanch/software/osx-presentation/releases/

3.3 announce

The biggest code change introduced by this release consists in allowing to play the movies directly embedded in the slide.
Additionally, the inset live video can now be moved to any corner of the presentation view.

This release also adds some minor features/fixes (see detailed list of changes below), the most notable being a fix for bugs in the help text layout introduced by Apple's upgrade of TextKit, and a more consistant way to handle deletion of onscreen annotations for multi-frame pages.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The app is signed since 3.0, the installer is now notarized and stapled, so that it's easier to install.

This is only possible by buying a membership to the apple developer program, at the cost of 99 USD a year.
In order to cover this expense, I have setup a buymeacoffee page where any user can contribute a small amount:
