Is there a "full screen" option for FBreader, so that you can get rid of the menu / icons etc ?

Is this project still under development? There's been no releases in 11 months. The reason I ask is I'm looking for a bug-fix that was listed in the bug tracker shortly after the last (0.12.10) release came out as 'fixed in 0.12.11', but that release hasn't eventuated.

Sorry, I'm read-only in enlgish....
I like this program, but are two questions
The Symbian is Open source now. Is in the future plans the Symbian S60V5 version? This is the touchscreen version of the Nokia phones (N97, N5800XM), are many owners in the wolrd. Is an FB2 reader to this phoones, the ZxReader, but functionality of the FBReader more than that...
Other question: in the CoolReader, the footnotes appear in the same page (in the foot of the page, like in printed books, with smaller fonts, below a thick line) with the "own links", in the reading time, not need to "click" on "link". This is very impressive look.
Possible in the future version of this kind appearance?
