[localghost]

A few days ago, on 3 May, the first update this year with the minor release 2.1 has been rolled out by the Sumatra development team. This reader becomes more and more a universal viewer for a variety of file formats. For users of LaTeX its feature for viewing PDF documents along with its capabilities regarding SyncTeX for forward and inverse search remains the strongest argument to use it. The changelog lists the following features.

• Support for EPUB ebook format
• Added File/Rename menu item to rename currently viewed file
• Support multi-page TIFF files
• Support TGA images
• Support for some comic book (CBZ) metadata
• Support JPEG XR images (available on Windows Vista or later, for Windows XP the Windows Imaging Component has to be installed)
• The installer is now signed
