Reporting Bugs
RedReader is beta software, so it is possible that you may encounter bugs.
Details of each crash in the UI thread will be logged to external storage, under the filename "redreader_crash_log_(UUID).txt" - please attach the relevant log when reporting a bug.
Crashes in other parts of the application will cause a prompt to be displayed asking you to email the exception details directly.
How to Build
RedReader is built using Maven. Several dependencies are required (and listed in pom.xml), but these are handled automatically if you use Maven.
Detailed instructions on building RedReader using IntelliJ IDEA are in BUILD.md.
