Release Notes: User-Facing Improvements
📋 Overview
This release includes four bug fixes and feature improvements addressing navigation, UI polish, and reader functionality.
🐛 Bug Fixes
[#64] Empty Clippings & Bookmarks Screens Now Show Navigation Hints
Problem: When viewing clippings or bookmarks with no items saved, the screen displayed a bare white page with just centered text. No header, no button hints — users couldn't tell how to exit.
Fixed: Both empty states now show a standard header title ("Clippings" / "Bookmarks") and visible button hints (Back, Select, Up/Down navigation) — the same layout used by populated lists.
[#57] Lock Screen Stats Alignment Fixed
Problem: In the Lock Screen Stats v2 panel, the "Goal Streak" and "Daily Goal" rows were misaligned because the checkbox beside the daily goal offset the text.
Fixed: Both stat rows now align cleanly. The streak value aligns to the same right edge as the daily goal value, with the checkbox creating visual balance on the right side.
[#55] Apps Menu Back Navigation Fixed (Multiple Apps)
Problem: When launching apps like Wikipedia, Recent Books, Browse Files, or Library from the Apps launcher menu, pressing the back button always returned to the Home screen — bypassing the Apps menu entirely. The Wikipedia exit button was labeled "Back" but performed a "Home" action.
Fixed — Four apps now return to the Apps menu when exiting:
| App | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Wikipedia | Always restarted device to Home | Returns to Apps menu (with heap cleanup restart) |
| Recent Books | Always went to Home | Returns to Apps menu ✓ |
| Browse Files | Always went to Home | Returns to Apps menu ✓ |
| Library | Always restarted device to Home | Returns to Apps menu (with heap cleanup restart) ✓ |
When launched from the Home screen (not Apps menu), all apps still correctly return to Home. Button labels updated from "Home" to "Back" for consistency.
🎮 Feature Enhancements
Dual-Mode Popup Navigation for Button Action Settings
Navigation behavior in popup selectors (used for long-press and power button action settings):
- Tap Up/Down: Move one item at a time
- Hold Up/Down: Jump entire page (8 items) at a time
- Circular navigation: Wrap around — last item loops to first, first wraps to last
This makes it much faster to navigate long lists of action options.
