Updates

Preview builds (which may or may not be more current) are here.
Note
The above files are bundles containing a standalone program which does not need to be installed. Please see the "howto" links for more detail.
The "dotreader-data" directory contains your books, libraries, annotations, and configuration data. The executable must currently be next to this directory to function properly. Future versions will also support a per-user data location.
For the "mini" builds (Windows and Linux), there is also a "dotreader-deps" directory which must be next to the executable.
dotReader To Go
Simply drag the three parts onto a usb drive and go. If you wish to use this drive on multiple platforms, just merge everything together as follows.
dotreader-to-go/
dotReader - Linux executable
dotReader.exe - Windows executable
dotReader.app - Mac appbundle
dotreader-deps/ - dependency files for Windows and Linux
dotreader-data/ - your books and such
The "dotreader-deps" directory needs to contain all of the .par files from both the Windows and Linux versions.
