Sumatra -- the lightweight, open source alternative to Adobe Reader -- has just updated to version 1.3 and lead developer Krzysztof Kowalczyk has delivered some welcome improvements. Sumatra now uses libjpeg-turbo for faster rendering of some PDFs and its printing support has been improved. Documents can also be zoomed and rotated using your keyboard via the + and * keys, respectively.

Sumatra 1.3 also sports a handful of interface tweaks and adds support for the forward and back buttons common on more "sophisticated" mice.

Download Sumatra 1.3:
Installer:   SumatraPDF-1.3-install.exe (http://kjkpub.s3.amazonaws.com/sumatrapdf/rel/SumatraPDF-1.3-install.exe)
Portable version:   SumatraPDF-1.3.zip (http://kjkpub.s3.amazonaws.com/sumatrapdf/rel/SumatraPDF-1.3.zip)
