- Lcd devices won't use the SurfaceView, just the good old native content/window (except AndroidTv and ChromeOS)
- All android dialogs will be presented with Material Design on recent devices.
- Added an option to device settings to manage application battery optimization.
- Permissions that require the user to go to a settings page will be presented with a native android dialog.
- bump android-luajit-launcher
- Changes under the hood: koreader/android-luajit-launcher#257
2 new widgets:
- QRWidget, that's like an ImageWidget, but with a text property that will be converted to a QR code ;
- QRMessage, that's like an InfoMessage, but shows the message as QR code.
Moreover, it adds the ability to export QR codes to the text editor.
1 new plugin:
- Generate QR codes from clipboard
Changes to text editor plugin:
- Add the ability to export QR codes.
Have ReaderBack be the sole handler of onBack.
Add 4 mutually exclusive options for the Back key,
to avoid ReaderLink and ReaderBack location stacks
from interfering (ReaderBack's stack being always a
superset of ReaderLink's stack).
So, remove "Enable back history", which is replaced
by Back option "Go to previous read page".
Fix a few possible crashes and inconsistencies (when
zoom, scroll or reflow have changed) with ReaderPaging
and ReaderView when restoring previous page/view.
On pocketbook, update modes are not as clear cut due to overall
chipset and kernel version mess. Inkview solves this by always
using the slowest (and safe) GC16 waveform. We now do that too
by default.
Slow updates suck though, so there's now a menu entry to configure
it for speed (with mild artifacts at best, kernel panic at worst).
This is a generic interface (any eink Screen can announce support).
The driver may interpret the slow/fast range however they want.
As things were, when I activated USBMS, any bookmarks recently added and not yet stored in the sidecar file would be lost after returning to the reader. These changes fix that.
This pull requests aims to provide convenient way to zoom in comics. The idea is when user holds/double taps (not decided yet) on a manga/comic panel, it gets cut out from the rest of the image and zoomed. More details in koreader/koreader-base#1148. Depends on koreader/koreader-base#1159
After the awesome work made by @ezdiy:
- Remove empty dir from release zip
- Remove misc files (txt, md, html, gif) to prevent displaying them in PB library
- Do not asociate executable files (sh and py for the moment), just openable files
- Rename the font sample from html to template (to prevent wiping it during clean)
Adaptively pins the auto-standby UI lock. When frequent input
from user is observed, we'll prevent for increasingly longer
periods of time, and revert back to more aggressive standby
with infrequent input (infrequent taps when reading a book).
* Be even more defensive around KoboUSBMS handling in the startup script
And add some more logging. To the log before a session, to the syslog
after, because we can't be sure onboard is viable.
* Display a short version string straight in the Version label
* Move system statistics inside the Help menu
* Move Version inside Help
* Bump base
https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1173
* Enable i18n in KoboUSBMS
* Rejig the "No confirmation" USBMS setting:
In now *only* affects the USB plug in event.
The menu entry will never show the popup (clicking on it should already
be confirmation enough, that, yes, we really would like to do that,
please ;)).
Also, enable said plug in behavior on Cervantes, too ;).
* Add an option to disable USBMS entirely
* Bump base
https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1170
* Add an option to *always* flash on chapter boundaries
* Optionally, in flash on chapter boundaries mode, also flash on the *second* page of a chapter.
(There's often a large river at the top of the page on a chapter's first page)
* In CRe, request a flashing update when there is significant image content on the page.
* Register all refresh rate related options in Dispatcher, making them available in Gestures & Profiles.
* Revamped most actions that require an internet connection to a new/fixed backend that allows forwarding the initial action and running it automatically once connected. (i.e., it'll allow you to set "Action when Wi-Fi is off" to "turn_on", and whatch stuff connect and do what you wanted automatically without having to re-click anywhere instead of showing you a Wi-Fi prompt and then not doing anything without any other feedback).
* Speaking of, fixed the "turn_on" beforeWifi action to, well, actually work. It's no longer marked as experimental.
* Consistently use "Wi-Fi" everywhere.
* On Kobo/Cervantes/Sony, implemented a "Kill Wi-Fi connection when inactive" system that will automatically disconnect from Wi-Fi after sustained *network* inactivity (i.e., you can keep reading, it'll eventually turn off on its own). This should be smart and flexible enough not to murder Wi-Fi while you need it, while still not keeping it uselessly on and murdering your battery.
(i.e., enable that + turn Wi-Fi on when off and enjoy never having to bother about Wi-Fi ever again).
* Made sending `NetworkConnected` / `NetworkDisconnected` events consistent (they were only being sent... sometimes, which made relying on 'em somewhat problematic).
* restoreWifiAsync is now only run when really needed (i.e., we no longer stomp on an existing working connection just for the hell of it).
* We no longer attempt to kill a bogus non-existent Wi-Fi connection when going to suspend, we only do it when it's actually needed.
* Every method of enabling Wi-Fi will now properly tear down Wi-Fi on failure, instead of leaving it in an undefined state.
* Fixed an issue in the fancy crash screen on Kobo/reMarkable that could sometime lead to the log excerpt being missing.
* Worked-around a number of sneaky issues related to low-level Wi-Fi/DHCP/DNS handling on Kobo (see the lengthy comments [below](https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/6424#issuecomment-663881059) for details). Fix#6421
Incidentally, this should also fix the inconsistencies experienced re: Wi-Fi behavior in Nickel when toggling between KOReader and Nickel (use NM/KFMon, and run a current FW for best results).
* For developers, this involves various cleanups around NetworkMgr and NetworkListener. Documentation is in-line, above the concerned functions.
use `device` `filemanager` `rolling` and `paging` sections to organize the
dispatcher menu and allow the user to know when the action will apply
add events from ReaderGesture
allow profiles in FM
* Allow locking the gyro to the current screen mode (i.e., orientation).
* Tweak the "sticky rota" option to work both ways
* More rotation constant usage instead of magic numbers
* landscape FM / Refactor rotation
refactor and simplify the orientation handling code. the user generally cares about the rotation (what direction the device is facing) and not about if koreader is displaying in portrait or landscape mode
* bump base
update luasocket, libjpeg-turbo, curl
add logging to evernote-sdk-lua
update framebuffer for proper rotation
add a Dispatcher module that allows for dispatching multiple events at once.
This will allow for profiles & for gestures that do multiple things.
it has 2 methods:
Execute which is given a kv table of settings to change and fires an event for each of them.
addSubMenu adds a menu item to a menu to allow for modifying which events are called
it also has settingsList which is a master table of all allowed setting and their corresponding info
(it is mostly from ReaderGesture and needs a lot of work)
to allow for a new setting all one has to do is add a entry to settingsList with a corresponding event and it will work out of the box.
the profile plugin is right now still a stub, just to test Dispatcher. the plan is to finish it and eventually refactor ReaderGesture to rely on this.
This also needs effort to move many functions out of reader gesture into events where they belong.
Err, kind of nitpick PR. Is just add some "permanent" menus other than plugins to the new "more_tools" submenu. So it will never be empty.
Follow-up: #6279
Supersedes: #5512#6092Fixes: #5461
joins calibre metadata search and calibre wireless connections into a single plugin
search metadata changes:
- search directly into calibre metadata files.
- search can be performed on more than one library (configurable from a menu)
- device scans now find all calibre libraries under a given root
- search options can be configured from a menu. (case sensitive, find by title, author and path)
- removed legacy global variables.
- *option* to search from the reader
- *option* to generate a cache of books for faster searches.
calibre wireless connection changes:
- keep track of books in a library (includes prunning books from calibre metadata if the file was deleted locally)
- remove files on device from calibre
- support password protected connections
- FM integration: if we're in the inbox dir it will be updated each time a book is added or deleted.
- disconnect when requested by calibre, available on newer calibre versions (+4.17)
- remove unused opcodes.
- better report of client name, version and device id
- free disk space checks for all calibre versions
- bump supported extensions to match what KOReader can handle. Users can override this with their own list of extensions (or from calibre, by configuring the wireless device).
* generic Device:info() function which returns the model
* add Device:canSuspend() and make it true in all devices that have suspend routines and the emulator
* also enable fake poweroff/reboot on the emulator
* add Device.home_dir
* add Device:hasExitOptions() and update menus & comments
More tools is a submenu in the tools menu, not in the plugins menu. That everything in there happens to be plugins is merely a technical detail and not considered part of the unifying menu vision. Plugin management should be last as it is because it's only used once in a blue moon, if it should be in the tools menu at all. The same applies to settings more broadly. Putting plugin management in the tools menu is traditional, however.
Plugins should not and are not supposed to be most at home in the tools menu. Those plugins that happen to be in the tools menu are by and large there because that's where they fit best. Those that don't are new and I didn't have the heart or energy to make much of a fuzz about it provided they had a reasonable claim to the tools menu. That includes plugins like tweak document settings which should be more at home in settings → document.

Requires koreader/android-luajit-launcher#233
Requires koreader/koreader-base#1117
It is a workaround for #6263 but can be useful on some devices with erratic back key behaviour too (yep, Onyx)
Make them external links so they don't trigger a "link is
invalid" popup and we can use swipe left/right to navigate
pages (and jump to latest bookmark/go back for comparing).
Also add "Dictionary" and "Fulltext search" to available
and cycleable highlight actions.
Generalize long-press (3s) at end of selection to show
the highlight dialog popup.
Replace Hyphenation menu with Typography menu.
This works mostly like before:
- typography/hyphenation is chosen according to the book
metadata language,
- one can set a default or a fallback language,
- hyphenation is now just a subset of typography, and
can be disabled while still setting a language and
enabling the other features,
- the typography language enables newly added features
to crengine: per-language line breaking rules and
per-language Harfbuzz glyph selection.
bump crengine: support for EPUB3 nav toc and page maps
Includes:
- Fix lvRect:isRectInside(rc) with 0-width or 0-height rect
- TOC: parse EPUB3 nav toc, fallback to spine when no toc
- Parse and cache various hardcopy page list maps
- epub.css: hide EPUB3 <span epub:type="pagebreak"> content
cre.cpp: add a few PageMap helper functions.
Adds ReaderPageMap which will add a new menu (under TOC and
Bookmarks) that will allow:
- to list source page numbers (like a TOC)
- to show visible page labels in the right margin
- to use these source page numbers in the footer, the TOC,
the GoTo and SkimTo widgets, and to use the source page
number in the standard bookmark and highlight initial text.
Adds a screensaver mode which is just a line of text at the top of the screen. Purpose is to be minimally obstructive while still displaying something to indicate the device is asleep.
* Make sure the Color menu is accessible on GrayScale device, in the event
one would have inherited a color-enabled settings from another
device...
* Warn on startup if color rendering is enabled on a grayscale device.
A non-exhaustive lists of things such a setup would break:
* same-to-same blitbuffers for pretty much every rendering engine
* same-to-same blitting codepaths and fast-paths
* software dithering in CRe
bidi.lua:
- Revert "Alias everything to Bidi.nowrap() when in LTR UI,
as using LTR isolates seems uneeded when already LTR" (part
of a628714f) which was a wrong assumption: we need proper
wrappers for all things paths. Enhance some of these wrappers.
- Fix GetText RTL wrapping which was losing empty lines and
trailing \n.
- Wrap all paths, directories, filenames in the code with
these wrappers.
- Wrap all book metadata (title, authors...) with BD.auto(),
as it helps fixing some edge cases (like open/close quotation
marks which are not considered as bracket types by FriBiDi).
(Needed some minor logic changes in CoverBrowser.)
- Tweak hyphenation menu text
- Update forgotten SortWidget for UI mirroring
- KoptConfig: update "justification" index for RTL re-ordering,
following the recent addition of the page_gap_height option.
Replaces DAUTO_SAVE_PAGING_COUNT in defaults.lua with
a new option available in menu, that allows setting
an interval in minutes instead of a page count.
