64-bit systems: Windows 10 or 11, macOS 12 or later, or a Linux desktop with GTK 3 (any
current Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, Fedora, openSUSE, Arch…). Java is not required — a trimmed
runtime is bundled. All files are built automatically by GitHub Actions from this tag, so the
build log shows exactly what went into them.

Windows: "Windows protected your PC"

The files are not code-signed (that needs a paid certificate), so SmartScreen may show this
warning the first time. Click More info → Run anyway.

macOS: "Devava Reader cannot be opened" / "Apple could not verify…"

The app is not notarized with Apple (that needs a paid developer account), so macOS blocks it
once. After the first attempt to open it, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security,
scroll down to the message about Devava Reader and click Open Anyway, then confirm. On
macOS 13 and 14 you can instead right-click the app and choose Open. This is only needed
the first time.

Linux: where things go

The .deb / .rpm packages install to /opt/devava-reader and add Devava Reader to the
applications menu; remove them with sudo apt remove devava-reader (or dnf). The .tar.gz
needs no installation: extract it and run Devava Reader/bin/Devava Reader. The library is
kept in your Documents folder (Devava Reader/library.json).

Your library (collections, volumes and reading progress) is kept when you update or uninstall,
and the book files themselves are never moved or modified.

What's new in 1.3.0

Added

• Bookmarks and notes in both readers: B (or the star in the toolbar) marks the page you
  are on, again to remove it. The side panel (T) now has a Bookmarks tab next to
  Contents (Tab switches): each bookmark shows where it is, the first words of the page
  (EPUB) and an optional note (N edits it, Delete removes the bookmark, Enter or a
  click jumps to it). Bookmarks are stored with the library.

Changed

• The side panel opens even for books without a table of contents, on the bookmarks.
