gImageReader 3.1.99 (Oct 13 2016):

This is the release candidate for gImageReader 3.2. The main highlight is a greatly enhanced hOCR editor and PDF export functionality.

Please report any issues you may find to ensure a polished 3.2.0 final release. If the translation for your language is missing or incomplete, this would be a good moment to submit an updated translation according to the instructions in the Readme.

Many thanks to all the users who provided valuable feedback and suggestions.
