Kitab Reader 0.5.0
Added
- Comics in RAR and 7z (.cbr, .cb7), page by page like CBZ. Kitab goes by what the file really is, so a .cbr that is really a ZIP (common) or a .cbz that is really a RAR opens too. WebP pages draw as well. Password-protected and split (multi-part) archives are refused with a plain message. RAR is read with compcol's clean-room decoders: no RARLAB code, decode only.
- DjVu (.djvu, .djv): scanned books at their own page size, sharp at every zoom (each page is drawn at the size it's shown). When the scan has a text layer, search, selection, copy and read aloud work; the bookmarks are the contents, and links inside pages work (to other pages and to web addresses). Read with djvu-rs, written from the public DjVu specification.
- Thumbnails for the new types on Home, in Explorer and in Linux file managers; a comic's cover is unpacked without the rest of the archive.
- File types: CBR, CB7 and DjVu in Settings › File types, the Windows installer and Store package, Linux and macOS, each with its own icon.
Changed
- Building Kitab from source now needs Rust 1.95 or newer (it was 1.85), for the RAR, 7z and DjVu readers.
Fixed
- Two signatures saved at the same moment no longer share one temporary file (one of them could fail to save).

Kitab Reader 0.4.1
Added
- Settings › Reading › Markdown text size (100 % to 300 %): the size Markdown files open at. Zoom (Ctrl+=, Ctrl+-, the Aa button) still changes it for one file, and Default size comes back to it. Book text size never applied to Markdown, so there was no lasting way to make Markdown bigger.
Fixed
- Settings › Appearance › Interface size is shown only on Windows, the one place it works. On Linux and macOS it was saved but changed nothing.

Kitab Reader 0.4.0
Added
- Read aloud, with your system's own voices on Windows, macOS and Linux. Ctrl+Shift+U, the speaker in the dock, the ⋯ menu or the page's right-click menu (Read aloud from here) reads from the selection, the place you click or the top of the page in view, sentence by sentence and page after page. The sentence being read is shaded, its word marked, and the pages follow along. The same key or button pauses and carries on; the stop button beside it ends it. Settings › Reading › Read aloud picks the voice (with a preview), the speed (0.75× to 3×) and the tone. Words broken over two lines are read whole, and a title, its authors and each paragraph are read as their own sentences. On Linux it speaks through speech-dispatcher, which the .deb and .rpm recommend. Nothing is loaded until read aloud is first used.

Kitab Reader 0.3.10
Added
- macOS: Kitab's commands are in the menu bar at the top of the screen: Kitab, File, Edit, View, Go, Tools, Window and Help, each command with its key, and greyed out when it does not apply. The Kitab menu has Settings, Check for Updates, Services, Hide and Quit, and Cmd+Q, Cmd+H, Cmd+Option+H and Cmd+M work as they do in every Mac program. Quit asks about unsaved changes first, as closing the window does.
Changed
- Tabs, the window title and dialogs name a document by its file name, without the extension (the tab's icon shows the type). The title stored inside a file is often missing, out of date or wrong, so it now shows in the tab's tooltip, beside the full file name, when it says something the name doesn't.
- PDF tabs have their own icon, a page with lines of text, instead of the blank page used for unknown files. The tab list in the sidebar shows each format's icon too.
Fixed
- Titles typed in a legacy Bangla font (SutonnyMJ and other Bijoy fonts) no longer show as "XvKv (†g‡q‡`i Rb¨)…" in tabs or on the Home shelves: the file name is used instead. Titles already in the library are cleaned up too.
- The page number shows the page that fills most of the window, and the last page once you scroll to the end. It used to count a page whose last few lines were still at the top, so it lagged a page behind and never reached the last page of a short document.

Alt and a menu's first letter opens it (Alt+F for File), Left and Right move between the menus, and the pointer moves along the bar once one is open. It is off until you turn it on in Settings › Appearance › Menu bar.
- Two more themes for bright rooms, beside Paper: Sand, a little darker and more golden with an ochre accent, and Linen, a cooler, greyer beige with a muted teal accent.
- Touch screens on Windows: drag a finger to scroll (it keeps gliding when you let go), and pinch with two fingers to zoom. A pinch on a touchpad zooms too. While you pinch the page stretches with your fingers, and it is drawn sharp as soon as they stop.
- Smooth scrolling: the mouse wheel and the arrow, Page Up and Page Down keys glide to where they scroll instead of jumping there. Settings › Reading › Smooth scrolling turns it off; a touchpad scrolls as before.
- Settings › Reading › New documents open at: Fit width, Fit page or Actual size, for a PDF, comic or XPS file opened for the first time. One you have read before still comes back the way you left it.
Changed
- Less memory, most of all in a large window. A page that has been drawn is kept once, on the graphics card, not also as pixels in memory, and the two window-sized surfaces used only for ink and drawn shapes exist only while there is something to draw. In a 2400×1500 window with a 300-page image PDF: 231 → 190 MB after opening, 330 → 219 MB at the most while scrolling, 255 → 163 MB once settled.
- Printing many pages shows one message with a bar that fills, then "Sent … to the printer", instead of a new message for every page.
- Settings › About › View update opens the release page in your browser, instead of a second dialog on top of Settings.
Fixed
- Markdown editor: a click lands on the line under the pointer at every interface size. At 110 % (and other sizes where a line is not a whole number of pixels) clicks drifted further off the further down the file you were: 12 lines by line 1,400.

Kitab Reader 0.3.8
Fixed
- Markdown editor: a click puts the caret where you click, and dragging selects text again. Since 0.3.6 every click landed near the top of the file.
- Markdown editor: long lines have a scroll bar along the bottom (drag it, or click the track), and the file has one down the right edge. Shift+wheel and sideways swipes scroll sideways. The line numbers stay put while the text scrolls, and a drag selection keeps going when the pointer leaves the editor.
- While you edit Markdown, the dock and the page navigator sit over the preview, so they no longer cover the source.

Kitab Reader 0.3.7
Added
- Kitab Reader is on the Microsoft Store. The Store version sets up its file types and File Explorer thumbnails when it installs, and leaves updates to the Store, so it doesn't check GitHub for them. Settings › File types and Settings › About say so.
Fixed
- Memory no longer grows with every tab. A tab out of sight keeps only the pages it showed: the one you just left stays sharp for a minute, so going back and forth is instant, and older ones keep a small soft copy that shows at once and sharpens as the page draws again. Nineteen open PDFs, most of them large scans, went from about 2 GB to about 230 MB in a maximised window (850 MB to 165 MB at 1400×900).
- MuPDF's cache of decoded images and fonts is trimmed after every piece of work, not only after drawing a page, so a big artbook left in a background tab no longer holds hundreds of megabytes.
- Closing a tab frees its pages' graphics memory too.
- With many tabs open, the window's close button no longer slides off the edge of the title bar. The tabs fill the room the bar has left, show whole tabs only (no half-hidden tab after Home), and the gap kept for dragging the window is smaller.

Kitab Reader 0.3.6
Fixed
- Markdown tables: columns get room by what they hold, text wraps inside its cell instead of running past the table or into the next column, and a short word never breaks. A table too wide even so scrolls sideways.
- Long text no longer spills out of its box anywhere: text fields (notes, form fields, search, signing) slide to keep the caret in view, menu items and collection names end in "…", long tooltips wrap, a long signer name stays in the status bar, and the update notes' tables wrap.
- The Markdown editor scrolls sideways for long lines and follows the caret, so nothing is cut off at the edge.
- Wide formulas and a details block's long summary stay inside the reading column; many printers scroll in the Print sheet; very deep contents lists stop indenting past the sidebar.

Kitab Reader 0.3.5
Added
- Discard, beside Save in the dock: lets go of every unsaved mark, deletion and form value, after asking. The file stays as it is.
- Filled-in form fields can be undone and redone (Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Y or Ctrl+Shift+Z), like marks. Undoing a radio button turns the one that was on back on.
Changed
- With Select, choosing a colour or a thickness changes the picked mark (one undo step), not only what you draw next.
