edrlab/thorium-reader v1.4.0 on GitHub

Summary

Version 1.4.0 was released on 25 July 2020.

This release includes the following (notable) new features, improvements and bug fixes:

Microsoft Windows: fixed a pagination / scrolling random DPI bug, which was preventing turning pages, in the middle or at the end of documents
Support for EPUB3 FXL Fixed Layout two-page spreads
Support for EPUB3 Media Overlays and TTS readaloud (both with optional clean overlay view / caption mode), with same keyboard shortcuts as audiobooks
Localisation: new Japanese user interface translation, fixed Spanish labels (missing and existing), corrected English typos
In preparation for linking to annotations and search results, navigator now supports DOM Range scroll-into-view (paginated and scroll views), which allows sub-element referencing (for when HTML text spans across CSS columns or scrolling viewport boundaries)
Development: added fast compiler option, skip Typescript type checking (transpile only)
Production builds continue to use LevelDown database for the CouchDB adapter, but automated CI and developer builds now use SQLite3 instead of the obsolete JsonDown store which was slow and buggy (uncontrolled file size growth)
LCP/LSD "return" and "renew" errors now trigger a toast notification to inform the user, friendlier passphrase dialog error reporting, and fixed clipboard copy right
Audiobooks: no cover was causing an internal crash, support for float values in duration time syntax with iso8601 format
Improved fullscreen UI layout
LCP or OPDS download without Content Type attribute in Link, now fallback to HTTP response headers (content-type/disposition)
