Stepbook v1.4.0

What's new

• Fix: Annotations now follow the image on browser resize — Annotations were stored as absolute display-pixel coordinates, causing them to drift when the window was resized. They are now stored in native image coordinates with Konva stage scaling, so they track the image correctly at any window size. Existing annotations are auto-migrated.
• Paste images from clipboard — Press Ctrl+V / Cmd+V on the sequence editor to add a step from a clipboard image (e.g. screenshots).

Stepbook v1.3.0

What's New

Modernized Dark Theme

• CSS design tokens (custom properties) for colors, spacing, radii, shadows, and transitions
• Polished cards with larger border-radius, subtle borders, glow hover effects
• Smooth opacity fade for action buttons instead of display toggle
• Focus glow rings on inputs, pill-shaped ghost back buttons
• Gradient backgrounds on book icons and empty thumbnails

Mobile UX Improvements

• Fixed vertical scrolling over canvas: Konva's non-passive touch listeners were calling preventDefault() on every touch, blocking browser scrolling. Now uses Konva's preventDefault shape property to allow native scrolling in select mode.
• Single-tap filmstrip switching: Replaced @click with pointer event tracking so Sortable.js no longer swallows taps
• Compact landscape toolbar: Single-row scrollable toolbar with 34px buttons in landscape orientation, plus compact header and filmstrip

Deployment & PWA

• Added redeploy.sh for quick code updates on server (pull, build, restart)
• Service worker files served with no-cache headers for prompt update detection
• Periodic SW update check every 10 minutes instead of relying on 24h browser default
