News: SDK

The update includes the same changes as the mainstream FBReader 3.6.0 released today. The zip archives reading was migrated to the libzip library. It works faster, opens more books and is more stable than the old code.

The update fixes two minor issues found since the 1.2.0 release. It is synchronous with the upcoming stable FBReader 3.5.5.

The major update, 1.2.0, is out. There were no updates for two years as the development of new features in FBReader for Android was on hold. This autumn, we released the new major version of FBReader for Android. The most significant addition is the possibility of continuous text scrolling. The SDK update includes all the changes from the mainstream FBReader.

Since this release, the SDK works with the Android SDK 21 and is built with the target SDK 34.

In the update, we fixed the recently broken support of CSS length properties. It also avoids a few stability issues on the new iOS 17.

FBReader for iOS, based on the new SDK, will be released later this week.

New release 0.99.7 is available. The update fixes possible crashes during continuous scrolling on iOS 17. It also extends the Unicode support; the engine renders Unicode symbols with codes > 0xFFFF.

These changes will be available to FBReader users in the upcoming 1.1.10 release.

We plan to release SDK for Android with full Unicode support in next few weeks.
