Release announcement repost from the other Mieru thread on forum.meego.com.

I have not yet really tested this new Mieru version with Qt Components based GUI on Fremantle, but it should hopefully run without requiring many changes.

It is my pleasure to introduce Mieru - a flexible manga and comic book reader.
Mieru (見える) is a Japanese word that can be translated as to be seen, to look or to appear.
