Liseur v0.4.0

Liseur v0.4.0 introduces multi-column reading for tablets, dedicated e-ink layout controls, configurable dictionary lookups, and a visual refresh for the library shelf alongside search and sync bug fixes.

Reading

• Screens 600dp and wider now default to a two-column view, with an explicit column choice (Auto, 1, or 2) in reader settings.
• Added an e-ink mode (Auto, On, Off) that enforces a monochrome palette and disables interface animations, page-turn transitions, skeleton pulses, and smooth scrolling.
• Hardware keyboard navigation now supports turning pages using Page Up, Page Down, and arrow keys on wide displays.
• Online word definitions are now opt-in, displaying a preview card showing the word and host address before making any network request.
• The dictionary look-up address is now configurable in settings, allowing lookups to point to regional sites such as fr.wiktionary.org.
• Literata typography is now used consistently across app screens and reader interfaces.

Library

• Library search now opens focus and the soft keyboard immediately, pressing Back closes search rather than exiting the app, and re-opening search keeps your previous query selected.
• Redesigned the library bar with a responsive reading illustration, a new app logo, and fluid graphic scaling for tablets and e-ink screens.
• Combined library filter chips and sort controls into a single scrollable line to display more book covers on screen.
• Folder scanning for local EPUB files is significantly faster.

Fixes

• Fixed a bug where a background catalog refresh could overwrite local book state and revert completed downloads.
• Fixed an app crash caused by remote server feeds listing duplicate books on a single page.
• Constrained menus, search sheets, navigation panels, and server settings to a maximum width on tablets to preserve comfortable line lengths.

Under the hood

• Pull-to-refresh now scans local folders and fetches remote catalog updates in parallel.
