Added

  • Covers: each book's cover is taken from its EPUB (or a PDF's first
    page) and shown on the Books screen and Home. The Books screen has a
    Grid view of cover cards; books without a cover get a generated one.
  • Reopen each book where you left it. A progress bar and "Chapter 2 of
    3 · 52%" show how far through a book you are, and Home has a Continue
    reading section.
  • Reader settings: a Display button sets text size, line spacing,
    column width and a System, Light, Sepia or Dark theme. The text is
    also set better, with old-style figures, a heading for the chapter
    title and small caps on the first line.
  • Back up the library to one .pitaka file and restore it, with the
    previous library kept as an undo.
  • Edit a book's title and author from the Books screen.
  • Search within a single book, from the Search screen's "Search in"
    picker or the reader's Search this book button.
  • Filter the Books screen and sort it by title.
  • Keyboard shortcuts (press ? for the list) and a File / View / Help
    menu. The window opens larger, and remembers its size and position.
  • Progress, loading and empty states across the app, with icons and
    motion that respects reduced-motion settings.
  • Home and the Help menu link to bug reports, ideas and email feedback.

Changed

  • Text, spacing and buttons use one consistent scale, and buttons have
    a clear primary, secondary, quiet and danger style.

Fixed

  • Words that OCR'd PDFs break with soft hyphens are rejoined, and a
    paragraph that spans three pages is no longer split in two.

Downloads: Windows: Pitaka_0.5.0_x64-setup.exe. Linux: the .AppImage, or the .deb/.rpm for your distro. The Windows installers aren't code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen will warn before running them; choose More info → Run anyway. SHA256SUMS lists each file's checksum.
