Bookdrop 2.0.0
PDF conversion now runs on anyform, a Rust engine that renders through
a bundled, self-contained headless Chromium build (via the DevTools
Protocol) instead of the previous Swift-native WKWebView pipeline —
the same class of approach calibre's PDF output uses. TXT/HTML/DOCX
conversion remain Swift-native for now.
What's new
- Full
PDFOptionssupport on the new engine — page size/margins/
orientation, typography, headers/footers/page numbers, cover and
table-of-contents toggles all reach the renderer - Default PDF typography now matches calibre's own defaults (1in margins,
15pt base font) for a comparable page count/density out of the box - Async, cancellable conversion with live progress through the Rust/FFI
boundary
