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 1.4.0

Added

• Search inside the book (EPUB): Ctrl+F (⌘F on macOS) opens the side panel on a
  new Search tab. Results list the chapter and the passage with the match highlighted;
  Enter or a click jumps to that exact occurrence and selects it on the page, and the panel
  stays open so the next result is one key away. Matching ignores case and accents
  ("cancion" finds "canción") and treats typographic quotes like plain ones.
