Eddy 0.4.0 beta

A feature release: reading tools, a PDF viewer and a set of privacy additions.

Reading and files

• Reader mode strips a page down to the article, using Mozilla's Readability. It stays on across navigations in that tab.
• Read aloud speaks the page through the system speech engine. With reader mode on, it reads the article and nothing else.
• Print or save as PDF through the standard Android print dialog.
• Built-in PDF viewer: downloaded PDFs open in Eddy instead of being handed to another app, with Share and "open in another app" still one tap away.
• Finished downloads now offer Open, both in the snackbar and as a notification action.

Privacy and safety

• HTTPS-only mode, on by default. Plain http:// pages are loaded over HTTPS, and a site that answers only over http gets a warning page offering to continue unencrypted for the rest of the session. Loopback and LAN addresses are exempt.
• A confirmation before downloading installers and other executable files, naming the file and the site it came from.
• Incognito tabs are hidden from screenshots and from the recents thumbnail.
• Clear when I leave: optionally wipe history, cookies, site data and cache when Eddy is swiped out of recents.
• Per-site page text size, set from the site information panel.
• Safe Browsing is now declared explicitly rather than left to the platform default.

Packaging

• Store metadata and an F-Droid build recipe are now in the repository, ahead of a submission to F-Droid.

The attached APK is signed with the same key as previous releases.
