ApriReader 1.5.0

Desktop-only release. The Android build has been removed; ApriReader is a Windows reader again.

Fixed

• Blank reader page. Page measurement advanced from inside its own layout effect, so a book with more than roughly fifty chapters exhausted React's nested update limit and tore the reader down. The crash fallback then inherited the reader's four-row grid, which placed its <main> in the three-pixel progress row and clipped the recovered text out of sight.
• Chapter names showing as "Section 1". Titles are now read from styled title wrappers and from h4–h6, so books converted from FB2 are named correctly. A horizontal rule is no longer mistaken for a heading.
• Books missing from the file dialog. The picker carried Android-only options on the desktop.
• A full library could be replaced by an empty one. Recovery restored the most recent intact backup even when it held no books; it now restores the backup that recovers the most.

Added

• Footnote and cross-reference links. Markers such as [85] are clickable, following one remembers your place, and a single click returns to it. Links are stored beside the block text as ranges rather than inside it, so existing highlights and notes keep addressing the same characters.
• A watched folder can be forgotten. The books it imported stay in the library.
• The table of contents is rendered in batches, so a book with very many sections no longer freezes the window.
• Links that leave the book are reported rather than handed to the system browser, matching the deliberately narrow opener allow-list.

Removed

• The unfinished Android build: mobile audio, managed document import, the system back button, and the mobile capability flags.
• tauri-plugin-fs, which no longer had a consumer or a granted permission.
