Release Notes

This ones a doozy. TTF font support, Library, custom top/bottom status bars, edge gestures for touch devices, even more shortcuts...

New

• New library view adapted from Crosspoint that replaces the old Recent Books view. Refresh your library when adding new items to your SD card so it is up to date.
• On X4 Pro, X4 Classic, and Sticky: added TTF font support. Drop a .ttf font in your .fonts/fonts folder and it will automatically add 8-22pt font sizes for you to select. A new TTF Rendering menu will become available that allows you to tweak TTF font settings when a TTF font is selected. Note: Larger TTF font families will take longer to load.
• On X4 Pro, X4 Classic, and Sticky: built-in fonts (Lexend Deca and Bitter) now uses scalable TTF so 8-22pt sizes are included while taking up less firmware space.
• New edge gesture customization for touch devices. Set it in Settings > Controls > Taps & Gestures > Edge Gestures.
• Adapted the design of the in-reader menu for touch devices to X3/X4/X4 Classic
• You can now set long/short-press actions for the side buttons independently in Settings > Controls > Side Buttons. All shortcut options are available. Go wild.
• Independent Top/Bottom status bar customizations that allow you to place items Left/Center/Right. 7 total slots (3 on left, 1 center, 3 on right). I don't recommend setting all 7 unless you love a cluttered status bar. Your old status bar settings will migrate when you update.
• View a selected book's reading stats from its Library or File Browser context menu (long-press select on non-touch devices or press and hold on touch devices).
• Haters of reading stats can now turn off tracking of reading stats in Settings > System > Reading Stats > Track Reading Stats. No stats are deleted, stats are just no longer saved. Access to reading stats are disabled. The Dashboard theme loses a lot of its charm. This setting does not affect "Estimated reading time left".
• You can also now turn off tracking of reading stats for individual EPUB/XTC/XTCH files from the in-reader menu's settings tab or via the context menu when long-pressing a book from the File Browser/Library.
• X4 Pro: Chapter page and book progress percent can be viewed from the top drawer pull-down when inside the reader
• Better inline image support so small images appear alongside the text (fixes #685)

Changed

• X4 Pro: Brightness and warmth gestures now adjust in one-point steps for more granular control and responds while you drag. Longer swipes make larger adjustments.
• You can now set different power button actions to Sleep,Wake, or Sleep/Wake the device. Long-press of the power button while the device is asleep will always wake the device regardless of what you set the long-press action to do while the device is awake. For example, you could set short-press power to Sleep and long-press power to Dark Mode and still be able to wake the device with a power button long-press without accidentally waking it with a short-press. Note: only the power button can wake the device. All other shortcuts (home button included) can only Sleep the device.

Fixed

• Clippings list shows a scrollbar for long lists
• Safe mode fallback should no longer save per-book reader settings, which caused global font changes to not take effect even if you never saved per-book reader settings before.
• OPDS downloads now use the first listed author for filename templates when a catalog also lists translators or other contributors (fixes #754)
• Empty inline <span> elements with CSS space styling is preserved (fixes #748)
• X4 pro crashes when checking for OTA updates (fixes #762)
• X4 Pro Home button now steps back through dictionary lookup, chapter selection, and nested settings instead of jumping to Home (fixes #770)
• Changing the global font settings from a book should apply those settings immediately if there are no existing per-book settings (fixes #772).
• EPUBs with unknown XML tags opening to "End of Book" (fixes #790)
• Lyra Carousel home screen should show "Loading" less often on X4 Pro (fixes #743)
• KOReader authentication crashing when the server response is too large (fixes #783)
