Summary
Version 1.0.5 was released on 10 October 2019.
This release includes the following (notable) new features, improvements and bug fixes:
- Screen reader compatibility: the webview that renders EPUB HTML documents is now hard-refreshed to ensure NVDA, etc. track DOM changes reliably
- Keyboard interaction: SHIFT+CTRL+ALT LEFT/RIGHT-ARROW to quickly navigate previous/next spine items (works on Windows, including with NVDA, but minus ALT on MacOS for VoiceOver compatibility)
- File extension
.epubassociation (EPUB "open with" or double-click to launch from Windows File explorer, MacOS Finder, and Linux desktop managers) - Fixed interaction problems in publication import (mouse vs. keyboard bugs)
- Fixed broken publication export
- Added OPDS feed pagination, including search results
- Publications imported from OPDS catalogs now have an initial list of (user-editable) tags extracted from the feed metadata
- Corrected handling of OPDS relative URLs
- Detection of internet connectivity, friendlier messages during OPDS navigation
- Support for
javascript:hyperlinks in EPUB HTML documents - Protection against broken hyperlinks in non-valid EPUBs (HTTP 404)
- Improved feedback during publication download, error cases
- Added dark and sepia colour themes in User Interface (was only in EPUB documents)
- Fixed Command Line Interface on MacOS
- Bookmarks labels now checked for empty string
- Publication info dialog has a "see more" expand/collapse button for long descriptions (library and reader views)
- Fixed crash when removing publication in scroll list
- Miscellaneous User Interface improvements and bug fixes: publication list alignment, goto page, OPDS search breadcrumb, bookmark display (long label ellipsis, padding), reader view settings initial state
- Significant under-the-hood code refactorings to improve the developer experience and the robustness of the codebase (TypeScript strict typing, error handling / border cases)
