Version 2.1 has been submitted to Apple.  Now we wait to see whether the Vatsyayana Curse will hit me this time, having dodged it twice before.

The new feature list in 2.1 is fairly extensive.  Top on the list are:

• Searching
• Dictionary support
• Customizable color themes
• Copy & Paste
• Parental Controls
• Table of Contents (not just a link in the document)

And of course the usual handful of stability & performance improvements.

With any luck, 2.1 should arrive for updating in the next couple of weeks.

It took me long enough, but source for the ShelfServer is finally available.  If you'd like to setup your own server, there are hooks to customize security, and some other assorted goodies.
