Leaf 0.3.7 testing release

Leaf 0.3.7: Jellyfin libraries and progress reporting

• Connect to your Jellyfin server, browse comic libraries and download issues for offline reading. Local unencrypted HTTP requires explicit opt-in.
• Import existing server progress and report reading progress back while reading linked downloads. Remote progress remains enabled. Reporting is best effort: offline failures are not durably retried, and existing downloads do not automatically reconcile changes from other clients.
• Larger touch targets and accessibility labels in Jellyfin controls.
• Exclude the disabled panel-detection model/runtime; retain whole-page reading, local SMB imports and portable backups. Play-flavor external tipping is hidden.

Testing release and known limits

This is a testing release, not a claim of production-store approval. Pending writes at disconnect, reread/reset behavior and cross-client progress conflicts still need hardening. Opening the first page can reset the server's read status; reaching the last page marks an issue read. Test with that behavior in mind.

Downloads

Release APKs are signed with Leaf's existing upload key. The AAB is upload-key-signed for Google Play testing. Google Play uses a separate app-signing certificate: a GitHub APK may not install over a Play-installed copy. Do not uninstall a working app just to bypass a signature mismatch; keep your reading data and use the matching update channel.

• Full APK: CBZ, supported CBR, PDF, SMB and Jellyfin.
• F-Droid-flavor APK: excludes the full flavor's RAR dependency. This GitHub file is not a build published by F-Droid.
• AAB: Google Play upload artifact, not directly installable.
• R8 mappings and SHA256SUMS: developer diagnostics and integrity checks.

No iOS app is published by this Android tag. iOS technical handoff.

Leaf 0.3.6

A fresh look and a playful way back

Leaf 0.3.6 gives you more ways to make your library feel like yours.

• Choose your appearance. Use Light or Dark mode, or let Leaf follow your device. AMOLED Black is still available for dark mode.
• Pick your app icon. Choose the light or dark Leaf illustration independently of the app theme. Supported Android launchers can also use the themed icon.
• Flick a comic away. Swipe downward and release to return to your library. A quick flick carries the comic off in your swipe's direction; a short, slower swipe springs back. Pinch zoom and page scrolling keep their usual gestures.
• Enjoy cleaner cover stacks. Series and lists have softer shadows and no black cover outlines. Back covers are gently dimmed, then brighten as you pull the front issue away.
• Find your lists in All. Reading lists now appear alongside comics and series, including empty lists. Search for a list by its name.
