v0.6.0 - Send Local HTML

Another day, another exciting EpubPress release - version 0.6.0! ☀️

This version opts for sending local HTML instead of having the server download the HTML.

Benefits:

• EpubPress now works with sites that require a login.
• Publishing books is faster, because the server requires 1 less step.
• Better consistency between the articles you see, and when you get back.

Thanks to all who have been using the extension and giving feedback! There has been numerous improvements happening server side behind the scenes.

• Better image downloading.
• Better table of contents.
• Better ebook titles.
• Better mobile support for the homepage.

There is also a Twitter Feed you can follow for information on any behind the scenes changes.

Don't hesitate to email any questions, concerns, suggestions!
