I am happy to announce the release of Présentation.app 1.9.

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/


Its most notable features are:

+ a presenter view displaying
  - the current and next slide
  - a timer
  - the notes associated to the current slide

+ hyperlinks do work
  - internal links (e.g. navigation links generated by beamer) work
  - links to local video files open the video on the presentation screen
  - links to other files are opened in a webview on the presentation screen

+ usable
  - from the command line (as it is a Python script)
  - from the Finder (as it accepts dropping a PDF file to launch the app)


Changes since 1.5

1.9:
  - added support for beamer's notes on second screen
  - added test for presence of pyobjc (since conda puts its python on the path)
  - enhanced performance of thumbnails scrolling
  - reopening a file goes directly to the last displayed page

1.8:
  - added thumbnails navigation
  - added support to go forth/back with left/right mouse click
  - added support for audio media files and animated gif

  - reloading now keeps the current page
  - fixed crash on Mac OS X 10.12 (Sierra)

1.6:
  - added mirror cursor on presentation view
  - fixed 1.5 regression on shortcuts using cmd key
