XPoint v2.7.0

Faster book opens

Returning to a book you were already reading now paints the page in a fraction of the previous wait. The reader used to re-read its chapter position table from the SD card in hundreds of tiny chunks on every open; it now reads the same data in a few batches, cutting that part of a warm open from about two seconds to well under a tenth of it on long chapters. You notice it the moment you tap a book: the page appears almost as soon as the display allows.

What else is fixed

• Dictionary definitions stored as HTML now render through the styled layout even when the dictionary file mislabels them, so you get proper formatting instead of raw markup.
• Screen long-press now follows your touchLongPressAction button remapping, not just physical buttons.
• Metalio E-Ink 4 powers off fully when it sleeps instead of drawing power.

Update

• OTA: Settings → System → Check for updates (signed manifest, verified on-device).
• Manual flash: xpoint-2.7.0-x4pro.bin from this release for the X4 Pro; every supported board has its own .bin here.
