So, in line with the articles written by TSDgeos, I'll continue talking about the work done in okular. A reason more to do that is that people ask about the work we are doing in okular, and about the new stuff we've done, so why don't let people know? 
This time is dedicated two small user interface improvements, located in the View menu and in the Table of contents side pane.

The first one is the improved Orientation section of the View menu. Instead of the previous entries that did not sound quite user-friendly ("Default" / "Rotated 90 Degrees" / "Rotated 180 Degrees" / "Rotated 270 Degrees"), our great usability master Florian Graessle suggested me a much simpler and straightforward configuration. After all, it's what you usually need, ie rotate step by step on a side. We decided to add also a quck way to restore the original document orientation.

As you can see in the screenshot, the Table of contents had some improvements w.r.t. KPDF.
First of all, a search line edit was added, handy tool when looking of a topic in large TOCs.
Then you can see a simple indicator (the black arrow) of the position of the shown page in the TOC. Its behaviour needs to be finetuned better, but mostly works. About the icon: at the moment it seems a working solution, even because we can't change the color as visual indicator (the focused item in the tree view has a different background color, so there could be a conflict with colors). Of course, any better solution will be glad (remember it has to pass the usability-master test 
)
The last improvement you can see is the possibility to label the pages of a document, and so to dislay their labels (if available) instead of the pages in the TOC. "Bad" side (temporary): it depends on a (small) patch for Poppler-Qt4, that sits in my hd waiting for TSDgeos to review
