News: Desktops and Laptops

The first public beta of the upcoming FBReader 2.1 for desktops is available to download from our site.

The release adds long-awaited features, including network password saving (in secure system storage), bookmarks editing, and a tons of fixes. More new features are to be announced next month.

One more September update addresses a few annoying issues. In the LitRes store, we fixed possible errors during signing in. Windows version displays the genres list correctly.

The release improves the Unicode support: the app displays symbols with codes larger than 0xFFFF (e.g., emoji).

We changed the behaviour of the right-click menu to make it less confusing in some cases: the bookmark menu displays if the cursor is over an existing bookmark and the text selection at once.

September update supports more image formats.

The renderer shows small caps defined in built-in CSS in ePubs.

Another minor update is uploaded to the stores and this site. This version adds operations with in-text images: opening a separate window (in that you can zoom the image) and copying images to the clipboard.

The MacOS version fixes crashes in the library and the settings dialogue.

The minor update improves network error processing, scratches debug info from the packages, and avoids conflicts with libraries installed in /usr/local/lib on MacOS X.

Starting from this release, the app checks for updates during starting. You can view the status in the About Dialogue.
