This update includes a more modern app design, faster startup and browsing, a redesigned statistics experience, a pitch black dark theme, and extensive reader improvements. The reader now has seamless chapter transitions, vertical scrolling, page-turn animations, in-book search and better annotation handling.
In addition to the big UI rework, I also did a lot of under-the-hood work to prepare for the iOS release, which now is on its way through the Apple system.
- Redesigned most of the app to use a more modern design.
- Improved command grid editor, now allowing custom designs.
- Improved the built-in dictionary to support hyperlink navigation to related words.
- Improved reading statistics presentation.
- Improved app startup performance.
- Improved performance when opening the book info page.
- Improved performance when loading filter values in huge libraries.
- Improved rendering performance when showing lots of tiny covers in the library.
- Improved the 'missing cover' placeholder design.
- Improved the CSV export functionality with more options for formatting, columns and aggregation.
- Improved the performance when changing the book that is connected to a reading statistics item for huge libraries.
- Improved the AI explanation system to be more accurate and to provide better explanations.
- Improved performance and reduced visual glitches when changing settings in the reader that require a relayout of the book contents.
- Improved margin editor to allow any value, while keeping the simple slider interface.

- Implemented seamless chapter switching -- no more loading popups!
- Added a combined popup that has all display options in the library browser in one place.

- Fixed popups sometimes not registering a back button press, causing the page behind them to close instead.
- Fixed a bug where different casings on book metadata could cause the storage template system to create duplicated folders.
- Fixed book info links always opening filters in the local library instead of the current book source.
- Fixed font size handling in books with different font sizes within the same chapter.
- Fixed a bug that could cause a Google Drive book source to immediately deauthorize itself.
