uxjulia/CrossInk v1.5.1-rc-2

v1.5.1-rc-2 (X4 Pro Support)

on GitHub

This release brings compatibility to the X4 Pro. I have plans for features and UI updates, but for now this is a working version for those waiting for Crossink support.

I'd appreciate help verifying the following:

• All UI components are touch-friendly on X4 Pro/Sticky devices
• All Quick Action items launch as expected
• X3/X4 devices do not display any touch-only related UI elements
• Power + Up button combo shortcuts work as expected

Changes in RC-2

• Full Xteink X4 Pro USB Drive support. Go to File Transfer > USB Drive while your device is USB-connected and it should pop-up as a drive on your computer. Note: It may take about 30 seconds for it to actually appear.
• You can now use Inky to send files over USB to your X4 Pro.
• The Power + Up button combo can now be assigned to a shortcut. Get to it from Settings > Controls > Power button > Power + Up
• New Page Turn Gesture setting in Settings > Controls with options for: Tap & Swipe (default), Tap Only, Swipe Only, Inverted Tap (for lefties), and Disabled (no page turn gestures but swiping up/down to trigger those actions still work)
• New "Quick Lock" shortcut for locking the device without actually putting it to sleep. This disables all buttons (and the touchscreen) and must be unlocked with the same button shortcut.
• Wi-Fi passwords are now shown while entering them.
• KOReader Sync no longer risks crashing from a render stack overflow (fixes #529).
• Quick Resume no longer shows a blank page after EPUB next-chapter indexing (fixes #535).
• TOC footnotes now return to the correct reading position (fixes #537).
• Reading cache settings now include touch buttons for clearing the cache (fixes #533).
• Touchscreen disabling now only takes effect when touch input is disabled (fixes #534).
• Nearby Position Sync startup is more reliable (fixes #531).
• Touch context menus now show up properly (fixes #532).
• Quick Actions no longer trigger incorrect actions or leave stale popups behind (fixes #524 and #525).
• Quick Actions modal closes before going to sleep (fixes #543)
• Large EPUBs with thousands of chapters can now finish indexing on X3/X4 without running out of memory.
• Touch releases are now handled correctly in settings and option popups.
• Custom sleep-image folders load faster and rebuild correctly after file changes.
• OPDS browsing no longer risks overflowing the Wi-Fi task stack on ESP32-S3 devices.
• Nearby sync and transfer status messages now wrap correctly instead of overlapping.

New

• Full touch support for Xteink X4 Pro
• New Quick Actions menu where you can set 5 shortcuts accessible via any of the shortcut buttons. Settings > Controls > Quick Actions

Changed

• Fonts now display their installed point sizes next to their name (addresses #491)
• The boot-up splash screen has been removed. You will now wake directly to your last screen
• Mark as Finished and Controls have been moved to the third tab (settings gear icon) in the reader menu

Fixed

• Flashing when accessing Wi-fi related activities (fixes #495)
• Landscape dictionary navigation (fixes #493)
• Enables touch on end-of-book suggestions (#496)
• Improve loading of custom dictionary font (fixes #501)
• XTC table of contents getting cut off (fixes #494)
• Inaccurate clipping/highlights after font/font-size changes (fixes #492)
• "Change Font" shortcut not working on front buttons (fixes #507)
• Overlapping pages in XTC (fixes #485)
• Improved table rendering for large, complicated tables (fixes #506)
• Some data missing after lightweight network restarts (fixes #512)
• Battery drain on Seeed Sticky (fixes #516)
• Empty crash report after flashing due to false watchdog error
