Fit by Orientation zoom

New zoom mode Fit by Orientation (CmdZoomFitByOrientation, View / Zoom menu). It fits width when the window is wider than tall and fits the whole page when it is taller than wide. It updates when you resize the window or rotate the screen (#702).

Smooth auto-scroll and Start Auto-Scroll command

Middle-click auto-scroll is now smooth and allows very slow speeds (#2693). Start Auto-Scroll (CmdStartAutoScroll, command palette) starts auto-scroll without a middle mouse button, which helps on laptops: move the cursor away from the starting point to scroll, and run the command again or middle-click to stop.

Expand TOC to Current Page

Expand TOC to Current Page (CmdExpandToCurrentPage) is in the Bookmarks sidebar’s right-click menu and the command palette. It opens the table of contents down to the entry for the current page and selects it (#1998).

Transparent text selection color

FixedPageUI.SelectionColor accepts an alpha value (#aarrggbb, e.g. #40f5fc0c), so the selection highlight can be more see-through and selected text stays crisp (#3209).

Localized file type names in Explorer

On non-English Windows, file types associated with SumatraPDF show their translated name in Explorer’s “Type” column instead of English names like “PDF File” (#3323).

Better quality when printing large pages

Pages are printed in strips instead of one huge bitmap. This keeps memory use low at any printer resolution, so large pages are no longer printed at reduced quality (#919, #3510).
