Word Hunter 1.0.7

Word Hunter 1.0.7 brings the Reader, synchronization, backup, and packaging
work tested across the six 1.0.7 release candidates into one stable release.

Highlights

  • Reader and bookmarks: Add labeled, colored bookmarks anchored to the
    exact selected word. Keep selections visible during navigation and text to
    speech, and restore the active book, page, exact word, and scroll position
    after reopening the app.
  • Synchronization: Transfer bookmark preferences, preserve recoverable
    record tombstones, serialize overlapping Android syncs, report progress for
    large record sets, and resolve the complete conflict set with Use newest
    versions for all    . Existing recognized Word Hunter sync folders can be
    selected again after reinstalling.
  • Data safety: Make desktop exports atomic, harden Android backup transfers,
    retain custom-book bodies and Reader positions during edits or moves, and
    roll failed saves back without deleting the previous data.
  • Imports and loading: Decode UTF-8/UTF-16 BOMs, declared EPUB encodings, and
    language-aware legacy encodings. Reject oversized input before allocation,
    avoid blank Reader states after failed loads, and preserve readable text when
    portable backups do not contain binary PDF media.
  • Desktop and Android: Use native desktop WebView scaling, improve Edge TTS
    rate handling, show an Android TTS return notification, and provide practical
    selected-word panel defaults for new profiles.
  • Packages: Add a validated Apple Silicon DMG and strengthen the validated
    Windows, Android, Flatpak, AppImage, DEB, Snap, AUR, and Nix packaging paths.
    Android builds use one stable update certificate from the corrected RC3
    onward.

Downloads

All eight artifacts are built and validated by GitHub Actions.

Android upgrade note

Early 1.0.7 test APKs used temporary CI certificates. If Android refuses to
install this version over one of those builds, export a JSON backup, uninstall
the old test build once, install 1.0.7, and restore the backup. Uninstalling
clears app-local Android data.

Installing on macOS

  1. Open the DMG and drag Word Hunter to Applications.
  2. Try to open Word Hunter. The app is ad-hoc signed and not notarized, so macOS
    may block the first launch.
  3. Open System Settings -> Privacy & Security.
  4. Under Security, click Open Anyway and confirm the launch.

Known limitations

  • Legacy backups that never contained book bodies cannot reconstruct them;
    vocabulary and settings still restore, and empty book shells are skipped.
  • Portable JSON does not bundle PDF page images or other binary media. Imported
    books fall back to readable text without dead media overlays.
  • Android synchronization copies the selected SAF folder through private
    staging before and after the Rust merge. Large folders or slow storage
    providers can take time; keep Word Hunter open until completion.
  • The Android TTS notification returns to the active Reader but is not a
    foreground playback service. Android can stop playback if it kills the app.
