Added

  • Delete and remove library entries — two new per-book actions, in the
    book detail view and via right-click on any library card: Remove from
    library
    (drops it from Midnight Athenaeum, files untouched) and Delete
    book (files too)
    (also sends its files to the Recycle Bin — never a
    permanent delete). Deleting also clears out that book's progress,
    bookmarks, normalization, online-metadata override, ebook pairing, and
    transcript, so nothing orphaned is left behind. If a book's folder ends up
    completely empty afterward (and only then — a folder shared with other
    books is never touched), the empty folder is removed too.
  • Audible .aax decryptionFile → Decrypt Audible file (.aax)…
    decrypts one of your own .aax files into a plain .m4b right alongside
    it, using your own Audible activation bytes (entered once via File →
    Set Audible activation bytes…
    , stored locally, used only to decrypt —
    never sent anywhere). The original .aax is never touched. Adding a
    folder that contains undecrypted Audible files — or running File →
    Rescan library
    on one already in your library — now also offers to
    decrypt all of them at once. A decrypted book shows a small "AUDIBLE"
    badge on its card.

Fixed

  • Library covers could flicker back to a broken-looking state while
    scrolling quickly through a large library, or while a background scan was
    still filling in details — most visible on a big scrollbar drag. Covers
    now load smoothly and consistently regardless of how you're scrolling or
    what's happening in the background.

Changed

  • Updated the underlying Electron runtime from 34 to 43, which brings a
    newer Chromium and closes 18 security advisories against the old version —
    including two that applied directly to how this app serves your audio files
    and packages itself. The app now reports no known vulnerable dependencies.
    Playback, scanning, covers, transcription and the library database were all
    re-verified against the new runtime.
  • One visible side effect of that update: the "add library folder" and
    "choose ebook" file pickers now open at your Downloads folder rather than
    wherever they opened before. Electron changed the default; the backup and
    data-location dialogs are unaffected because they set their own location.
