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).
