A new feature 'read from right to left' is added, which is more fit for
Traditional Chinese and Japanese books. Once the feature is enabled:
1. The gesture region of TapForward and area will be flipped
horizonally;
2. The action for swiping to west and to east will be exchanged.
We can input relative page number now in the reader goto dialog.
Goto "+4" will page forward 4 pages and goto "-4" will page
backward 4 pages.
This implements #1437.
The 'KOSync' plugin will synchronize furthest reading progress
across different koreader devices after users registering their
devices.
The synchronizing service is open-sourced as the project
[koreader/koreader-sync-server](https://github.com/koreader/koreader-sync-server).
it was set to a full refresh. However, we want to behave as if in
non-scrolling mode and issue a partial refresh. That might get
updated to a full refresh if the full-refresh counter has reached
the limit - which is configurable.
which currently just sets free the limitation of panning gestures
emitting rate. This should fix#1039 when unchecking the
"E-ink optimization" in the "Screen settings".
This is a major overhaul of the hardware abstraction layer.
A few notes:
General platform distinction happens in
frontend/device.lua
which will delegate everything else to
frontend/device/<platform_name>/device.lua
which should extend
frontend/device/generic/device.lua
Screen handling is implemented in
frontend/device/screen.lua
which includes the *functionality* to support device specifics.
Actually setting up the device specific functionality, however,
is done in the device specific setup code in the relevant
device.lua file.
The same goes for input handling.
