v1.4.1

Changelog:

• Added recommended dictionaries that can be downloaded and installed automatically.
• Moved the dictionary deletion logic to a separate process to prevent the event loop from freezing.

v1.4.0

Changelog:

• Continuous reading mode for manga: vertical/horizontal strip scrolling, with drag-to-scroll panning.
• Zoom & pan in paginated mode via Ctrl+wheel, pinch, double-click, and drag.
• Virtualized the continuous strip and prefetches neighboring pages for smoother scrolling.
• Throttled fixed-layout resize and made strip mounting more robust.
• New smooth slider for a better settings experience.

v1.3.0

Changelog:

• Text highlights with notes. Select any passage in the reader to highlight it and attach a note.
• Expanded Anki mining. Mine dedicated kanji cards (separate note type) alongside vocabulary cards, and map many more fields: pitch accents & pitch-accent graphs, furigana (HTML and plain), glossary (HTML and plain), cloze prefix/body/suffix, frequencies, part of speech, dictionary name, document title/author, and a screenshot of the page.
• Faster and smoother throughout: dictionary hover lookups do less work per hover, page-flipping and scrolling repaint highlights more cheaply, and opening a book (especially image-heavy ones) is quicker.
• Fixed rendering of nasal/devoiced marks on pitch accents in the dictionary popup.
• Side panels no longer dismiss unexpectedly when interacting with a dropdown/select inside.

v1.2.1

Changelog:

• Furigana readings: speak the reading instead of base text for correct pronunciation of proper nouns/rare readings (toggle, default on).
• Voice tuning: added pitch, intonation, volume, and pause-length controls alongside speed.
• Voice picker: new UI to browse voices with icons + preview clips; voices are playback.
• Fix: stale synthesis no longer plays over a newer utterance.

v1.2.0

Changlog:

• Read aloud (TTS): Speaker buttons in the dictionary popup voice the looked-up word or its sentence via a local VOICEVOX engine.
• Hover-to-read with karaoke highlight: Hover a sentence to hear it read aloud, with text highlighting synced to the audio.
• Anki mining (AnkiConnect): Add cards from the dictionary popup with {marker} field mapping (word, reading, furigana, definition, sentence, pitch accent, frequency, book title/author, passage screenshot).
• Discord Rich Presence: Show the book you're reading on Discord, including its cover art as the large image.
• Dictionary imports now run off the main process — no more UI freeze, with a progress indicator in the title bar.
• Furigana is no longer included in text selection.
• Centered in-flow illustrations in the reader.

v1.1.0

Changelog:

• Full-screen reading mode — distraction-free reading via the header toggle or F11.
• Footnote popups — tap a note reference to read the note inline without jumping away from the page.
• Illustration gallery — browse all images in a book in a full-screen viewer.
• Horizontal writing mode in the reader (alongside vertical), with an Auto option that follows the book.
• Settings page for app preferences.
• Wipe all data option to reset the library, dictionaries, stats, and settings.
• Smoother paginated mode (fixed lag).
• Correct rendering of inline gaiji glyphs.
• Fixed image references being mismatched by filename-substring collisions.
• Styled dictionaries — honor a dictionary's own styles.css (e.g. Jitendex) in lookups.
