v1.4.0

What's New

Bug Fixes & Improvements

• File Downloads Fixed: Resolved an issue where tapping download links or buttons inside the reader did nothing. The app now seamlessly hands these requests to your device's native Download Manager, securely handling your session to save files directly to your local Downloads folder.
• Immersive Navigation Bar: The native Android navigation bar (back/home/recents) is now fully hidden by default so it no longer obscures content at the bottom of your screen. It can be easily revealed with a quick swipe up. Thanks to @rudism for submitting this fix!
• Refactored Duplicate code and updated latest screenshot for settings FAB.

v1.3.0

What's New

Features

• Forward Navigation: Accidentally hit the back button? You can now jump forward to exactly where you were using the new "Forward" button in the utility menu. It smartly only appears when there is a page to go forward to.
• Material You Dynamic Colors: The app now beautifully adapts to your phone's system color palette (Android 12+) for a truly native, personalized reading experience.

Bug Fixes & Improvements

• Random Logout Bug Fixed: Squashed a stubborn issue that occasionally logged users out when navigating or swapping servers.
• Navigation Polish: Fixed several edge-case lifecycle issues and improved overall app stability, making the reading experience smoother.
• Streamlined Server Swapping: Renamed "Change Server" to "Swap Server" for better clarity, and smoothed out the transition flow to switch servers faster.

v1.2.0

What's New

Features

• Volume Key Navigation: Read ergonomically! You can now use your device's hardware volume keys to seamlessly move to the next or previous page while reading ebooks.
• In-App Settings Page: Introduced a dedicated Settings screen. You can now easily toggle volume key navigation on or off, and manage battery preferences. (This is where future customization options will live!)
• Battery Optimization Shortcut: Added a quick shortcut to system Battery Settings. Changing the app's battery usage to "Unrestricted" prevents Android from killing the app in the background while you listen to audiobooks.

Bug Fixes

• Sudden Logouts Fixed: Resolved an annoying issue where the app would unexpectedly log you out. Your PWA session is now properly persisted, so you stay logged in across restarts.
