It depends on when your device checks for updates, I don't think each one does it at the same time. If you want to force it, you can go into application manager and go to update. Or go to download and tap the middle top and hit refresh.
i got the update earlier and i got no update notification also even after refreshing catalogues, I only knew i had it b/c it was in updates list, strange it never notified me considering it was sitting in app manager updates
Not sure how this will apply to your NextGen UI, but in terms of the current version, why not have UP and DOWN arrow icons on your toolbar next to the hand. Clicking these would function the same as pressing the keyboard up and down arrows (better still, make it user configurable as to whether these icons mimic UP arrow (pixel pan) or the bigger CTRL-UP arrow pan).
At least then, if you need to pan down, you don't have to go out of whatever mode you are in by selecting the Hand, then pan, then re-select your previous mode - just click on the down arrow (or long press icon to continuously pan down).
(Apologies if this has already been discussed - I haven't read the entire thread).
In Portrait mode, zoom out to the point where you can see the entire page on screen (with empty space around it).
If you then zoom in one level, the height of the background page fits the entire screen perfectly, but the width of the background page is wider than the screen, requiring you to pan left or right.
Can that zoom level in Portrait mode be set to be the max width of the screen. Presumably this will leave a little bit of blank space vertically, but at least this view you would give you the maximum zoom whilst still seeing the entire page.
today I installed Xournal. Using Conky to track rootfs space because I enabled extras-testing, i noticed that free space dropped from 54 to 42 Mb.
I checked the non-opt space used with kwotsky's perl script, and as other used found, it reported 576k.
Is it perhaps some dependency that uses 12 megs of precious rootfs room???
Any clue?
