Known limitations and issues in Fab4 0.20 beta:
- There can be some display corruption zooming and
resising PDF documents. As a temporary solution, reloading
the document usually solves the problem.

Planned improvements:
- Support for timed media (Theora, OGG, mp3)
- Annotations on timed media
- Add area annotation for images (square, ellipse...)
- Allow file attachment and image annotations.
Some of the recent changes:
- FIXED a regression: now PDF can again open directly to a
specific page, see for example:
http://www.pdf-tools.com/public/downloads/whitepapers/whitepaper-pdfprimer.pdf#page=4
- New terminology and uniform naming (public private, save or
copy) hopefully more clear
- Linguistic tools, improvements in markings and export to XML
with inline markings
- it's possible to copy notes between public and private (that
is central server to local private database)
- private annotaions
- Interface to connect to generic annotation servers
- Various fixes in the UI
- FIXED: Java WebStart will not work on Java 1.6
- FIXED: PDF files seem to break on Java 1.6 (issue with Java
1.6.0, updating to 1.6.01 (java6 update 1) solves the problem).
