Notable Changes

This update introduces several key enhancements and new features:

• Long-Press Functionality: We've expanded the utility of long-press actions for even more intuitive control.

  • Usage Tips: Long-press the AI Assistant button to view helpful usage tips.
  • Custom Prompt Management:
    • Long-press a custom prompt button to add it directly to the main highlight popup.
    • Long-press an added button on the main highlight popup to easily remove it.
  • Quick Close : While in the AI Assistant's result window, long-press the Close button to instantly close all dialogs and return directly to your reading experience, saving you multiple taps.

• Stream Mode: Experience real-time responses from the API, providing a smoother, more dynamic Large Language Model (LLM) interaction directly on your e-ink device.

• Reasoning Support: The plugin now supports reasoning models, which enables the display of a "deeply thought" (or "thought process") section in AI responses when available.

• Localization (l10n) Support: The plugin now supports all languages available in the KOReader project, making it accessible to a wider user base.

• X-Ray Feature: Generate a structured, spoiler-free book "X-Ray" up to your current reading progress. This includes:

  • Key characters
  • Locations
  • Themes
  • Important terms
  • A concise timeline
  • A quick re-immersion section to help you get back into the story.

• Book Info Feature: Get detailed insights into any book. This feature provides a summary of the content, background on its creation, author details, and even suggests similar titles you might enjoy.

• New Settings Dialog: A dedicated settings interface within the plugin now allows you to easily configure multiple options:

  • AI Response Language: Set the language for AI responses, with full Right-To-Left (RTL) support.
  • Response Font Size: Adjust the text size of AI responses.
  • 

• Simplified configuration.lua: Some options have been deprecated from the configuration.lua file. A minimum working configuration.lua now only requires API-related settings, simplifying setup.

• Enhanced Dictionary Integration:

  • Localized Sub-headings: Dictionary items now feature localized sub-headings, making it easier to identify and locate specific information.
  • AI-Enhanced Options: New Wikipedia(AI) and Dictionary(AI) options are available in the dictionary popup (these are configurable).

• Improved Compatibility: To prevent conflicts, all internal modules have been renamed, ensuring better coexistence with other AI plugins.
