- Fix: search was broken when opening publications with double-click from file explorer, or via any other command line interaction
- Fix: audiobooks metadata total duration progression percentage (could be NaN in some cases)
- Fix: publication import from link (OPDS feed) was incorrectly registering LCP-PDF content type as JSON (is in fact a packaged format)
- Fix: OPDS HTTP authentication implicit flow url with fragment identifier
