crengine may now give us multiple authors (if multiple <dc:creator>
in epub metadata) separated by \n.
Deal with that where needed.
Limit the number of authors displayed in coverbrowser views.
Bumped base/crengine: multiple <dc:creator> + fix mobi images order
Bumped base: util.runInSubProcess(): give child its own process group
cre:loadDocument() may fail in recognizing the document format, and
koreader would previously keep calling other methods on it, which would
make crengine segfaults. We now check loadDocument success at the
various places it is called, and try to deal the best way we can when it fails.
* Properly create intermediate directories when receiving books from Calibre.
This fixes an issue where you can't receive books except into directories that
already exist on the Kobo, which, in particular, causes problems when your
configuration in Calibre is something like "put books in $Author/$Title.epub"
and you haven't previously synced any books by that author.
* Wake up periodically to process ZMQs if any are registered.
This fixes an issue where if there are any timed events (such as the suspend
timer) in the queue, ZMQ events may not get processed until the timed event
fires, which is a problem when (for example) the suspend timer goes off in
an hour and you have something trying to send a book to the kobo over wifi
*right now*.
With this change, the event loop will wake up every 50ms to check for ZMQ
events and process them if necessary. If there are no ZMQs registered (which
is typical), it uses the original behaviour -- so this won't affect battery
life under normal usage.
* Prevent open screensaver more than one in the same time
* Add option to enable/disable background in message screensaver
* fallback to random images if this book cover is excluded feature + fix Disabled (leave screen/page as it is)
* Autostretch disable by default, more fallback options, leave screen as it is
Speedup initialization (needs to be done only once, and avoid
saving current mode to sqlite each time) and reader-to-filebrowser
switch, by doing a single rendering (instead of 2 or 3 previously).
ListMenu: cache sidecar file parsing results (page/percent
completed) for the browsing session duration.
Fix "No choice available" when on last page and changing
to a display mode with less pages.
This is done by/for kosync plugin at each opening, because
the docsettings was re-opened and saved for this, but later
overwritten by the current koreader docsettings - so it was
redone each time. This correctly adds this partial_md5_checksum
to the current koreader docsettings, which will be saved on
document closing - so it will not be redone next time.
Note: this partial_md5_checksum is not (yet) used by anything.
This gives the page position to these modules even in scroll mode.
Also, in readerrolling: don't query battery/charging status
when crengine does not need it (used only when it shows its top
progress bar).
We previously disabled cache, but that may cause excessive
memory usage with big books. We now use a temporary
cache directory, that we clean when no more needed.
Closes: #3236 and #3235
Details:
> Also, when looking in days, we see info how many hours we read. It would be great if we could tap a day, it opens info on book(s) we read that day with info pertaining to that day, and if we tap on book, we receive book info for that book.
> Statistics plugin is really great, I started to look in my reading statistics now much more, but all the time I can go only in one way. And I need to exit at lowest level of info. It would be great if I can use statistics plugin like part of menu, to go up and down within statistics data and exit at my wish, not when I have to.
Also added:
* new statistics book by week
* new statistics book by month
* last year by week now we can see days in selected week
Made the onHold buttons table similar to the one of File browser.
Added "Purge .sdr" and "Delete" to these buttons.
Moved the purgeSettings and removeFileFromHistoryIfWanted
logic into filemanagerutil functions.
Stay on the same page when manipulating history (previously, we were
always put back on first page).
Really keep deleted files in history (unless setting says otherwise).
Show deleted files in grey or dimmed in classic History and all
CoverBrowser display modes.
So an image file can have a cover in coverbrowser's display.
It also allows for an alternative viewer (ImageViewer widget)
when holding on file / View full size cover.
* CoverBrowser plugin: alt views for File Browser and History
* Added Prune cache and Compact cache menu actions
* Support for book descriptions, and settings stored in db
1. Android.getScreenBrightness() is used in frontend/device/android/powerd.lua to retrieve the frontlight intensity.
2. kosync.koplugin won't save settings for whisper sync.
3. batterstat.koplugin won't work correctly if several on* events are fired.
* Use getCapacityHW() to ensure latest battery capacity can be retrieved
* BackgroundRunner
* Start background_runner_spec.lua
* AutofrontLight plugin now uses BackgroundRunner plugin
* Force refresh when kindle is out of screensaver or usb is unpluged.
* Improve AutoFrontlight
* More plugins sub menu
* Last brightness should always be updated
* Finish autofrontlight improvement and enable it by default.
* More tets
* onFlushSettings
* MenuSorter can now correctly sort sub menus
* newsDownloader - atom support initial version
* NewsDownloader: update example feed config (use Reuters atom source)
* NewsDownloader: InfoMessage when unsupported urls
* NewsDownloader: update menu_item id
* NewsDownloader: change text label
* translation text fix
* quickstart(fix): go back to home dir after document close
* quickstart(fix): purge old quick start files

* Simple News (RSS/Atom) downloader plugin
* Limit news from sources
* new News Downloader menu entry - goto news dir
* Initial configuration logic
* Download each feed source to separate folder
* 2 feed sources in example config
* ReaderHighlight: underscore to underline. Although underscore means to
emphasize by underlining, the emphasis lies on the, ahem, emphasis. Besides
which, it's mostly AmE and less well understood worldwide (although in this
particular context it should probably cause no trouble).
* Statistics plugin: menu item text to "reading statistics" to make it clear
which statistics we're talking about. Fixes#2744.
* lang: changed `...` in CloudStorage to real ellipses
* chore: reordered requires in CloudStorage per coding style
* UX: switched "Close" and "Stay alive" in KeepAlive per UX style
* lang: improved message in CloudStorage
* chore: reordered requires in OTAManager per coding style
* lang: removed "your" from "Your KOReader is up to date" in OTAManager
* plugin loader(feat): support loading plugins from user defined directories
Extra plugin lookup paths can be set in global reader setting via key
`extra_plugin_paths`. Value of the key can either be a string or an array
of strings.
* build(fix): also purge non-exist plugins on build
* plugin: migrate debug plugin to menu sorter
