Feeling better?

Does today's include the print patch?

Yes, besides a cough, I'm good now. No, it doesn't include the print patch. For some unexplainable reason, it also broke something entirely different and I didn't want to risk functionality loss.

hey bangbang, why do you update daily?

um because there are daily updates.

These are nightly builds in case you didn't know, not release builds. They are the very latest code and are not gauranteed to be stable, there are usually things broken.

umm, that is incorrect. If firefox didn't make an "unstable" build, they wouldn't release it to the public without having it being tested first. Since there is nightly builds... they are stable, and whatever is tweaked, is tested before posting (Y). they have a full 24 hours to test it out before launching a nightly build.

Sorry man, but flightmike1 was right. The nightly builds are often plagued with severe issues, especially early on in a branch merging. They do not spend the entire 24 hours testing a build. They simply compile it and, if it completes, they upload it. They may smoke test them, to some degree, but I'm not 100% on that.

Well, BangBang, I haven't got the slightest idea what you're actually doing here but it seems you're making a significant contribution to the Neowin community so I want to thank you for that. Since I haven't heard of SSE2 I'm doubting my processor supports it (Athlon XP) but thanks all the same for doing whatever it is you're doing!

Thank you XenonicRob. Basically, I optimize the code base to run more quickly on systems that support the SSE2 instruction set. Your processor does not support it, unfortunately. While I don't contribute to the Fx world as many other do, I hope my builds so help out some people, at least.

Guys like mmoy or guys who submit patches that get used in the official code. I'm a builder, but the coders do a lot more work than I.

    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market

      This is weird. Mythos is more unrestricted compared to Fable. Technically it poses more risk!!
    • SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers

      This is a great thing, I always have issues with Verizon while inside of certain football stadiums due to the saturation and walls blocking signal so a LOS way to connect would be great. Verizon was supposed to be offering sat data this year but I've not heard a word of it lately. Dude is sending rockets into space in a cheap manner, low waste foot print and has a great product with solar/battery tech. We would be so far behind China right now if not for him and a push to get back into space.

      illegally? Proof of that? Seems you are posting misinformation or well a pure straight up lie cause there is zero proof of such a thing. But I get it...

      By Copernic · Posted

      KillerPDF 1.6.0 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~15 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.6.0 changelog: A big release: major new features, a full visual refresh, and an internal rewrite.
