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
• The Power + Up button combo can now be assigned to a shortcut. Get to it from Settings > Controls > Power Button > Power + Up Combo
• On X4 Pro and Sticky, the Up + Down button combo can be assigned to a shortcut. Get to it from Settings > Controls > Side Buttons > Up + Down Combo
• 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.
• New shortcuts added for Previous Page and Nearby Position Sync

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
• Non-touch devices: Book Options moved to the bottom of the menu so a single Up click can get to it quickly.
• Wi-Fi passwords are now shown while entering them.
• Dark Mode now applies system-wide, not just in the reader.
• Clipping highlights start in the middle of the page now (#609)
