14 DAY TRIAL // A new development release of Evince, the document viewer application of the modern GNOME desktop environment, was made available to testers worldwide on February 17, 2015, version 3.16.0 Beta 1, which brings a number of new features, improvements, bug fixes, better documentation, as well as updated translations.
Among the new features and improvements implemented in Evince 3.16.0 Beta 1, we can mention that the CTRL+Mouse Wheel zoom functionality is now pointer-centered instead of window-centered and the < CTRL >= and = keybindings are now used for zooming the document in and out.
A couple of bugs have been squashed in Evince 3.16.0 Beta 1, such as printing of landscape documents, printing of documents with autocenter and manual scale, a crash in the recent-view section of the application, which occurred when loading documents that were password protected. Additionally, the “Send to action” function has been disable if the nautilus-send to package cannot be found on the operating system where Evince is running.
