“This first release, codenamed ‘Betta splendens’, includes just
a handful of features for now, however it is the base on which
development of more advanced features will take place. Still, the
goal of NeonView is to remain clean and lightweight, while also
trying to implement only the needed functions that a simple image
viewer should have.

“Most of the work still needs to be done, including (but not
only) support for plugins, zooming, rotating, saving/printing
images, fullscreen and slideshow modes, image properties dialog, an
eventual sidebar, importing/exporting, settings to configure its
behavior (like remembering fit to window/normal size between
sessions, scrolling images with the mouse button, and so on). As
you can see, a lot of work still has to be done.

“NeonView is free and licensed under the GPLv2, so the source
code is completely available to modify and make improvements or
forks.”
