This marks the first "official" release that I think is decent enough to release into the wild but it certainly won't be the last release.

Included in this release are the following new additions:

  • Add the ability to upload cover images (NOTE: This requires some presetup with Calibre)
    • Cover uploading is off by default as it will result in confusing output for the user (blue covers) if they haven't followed the required steps
    • These aren't documented yet but will be shortly
  • Add a button to check connectivity with Readwise
  • Forward SourceURL which is the source file for a book. This is used in deduplication so eg; a different copy of the same book would result in different highlights.
    • This is used under the hood to map existing Readwise books to titles on device in order to upload covers from the device
    • This will result in existing Readwise uploads being duplicated one time! This is reflected in the jump to 1.0.0 to indicate a "breaking" change
  • Enable the ability to load in locally stored Kobo sqlite databases. Mainly this is useful for myself when debugging so I don't have to plug in a Kobo all the time but it might be handy for any users as well.

In general, the app is solid enough to use hence why I'm marking it ready for v1.0.0 now despite it not being perfect. It's stable as far as what the user expects anyway, beyond the one breaking change here. I don't expect to change any upload code in future, besides say; a v2 of the Readwise API

As always, please file any bugs you discover
