A new version of Overview was released last Monday. The GitHub page lists the following new features:
- Overview will reserve less memory on Windows with 32-bit Java. That means it won’t support larger document sets; it also means it won’t crash on startup for some users.
- Overview now starts in “single-user mode”. You won’t be prompted for a username or password.
- Overview will automatically open up a browser window to http://localhost:9000 when it’s ready to go.
- You can export huge document sets without running out of memory.
