KOReader Release Notes

Stable page numbers

Apologies, I don't have much time to write release notes today. As usual there's been quite a bit of activity. One of the most visible changes is that if you like stable page numbers, artificially generated stable page numbers can now be easily configured under navigation () → Settings → Stable page numbers.

Keeping in tune with not spending too much time on release notes, here's a copy of the included help text:

By default, one screen equals one page. Any change in the book's formatting will therefore result in renumbering: new total pages, different chapter lengths, new locations in TOC and bookmarks, etc.

Select stable page numbers if you prefer page numbers that are independent of layout settings and consistent across devices:

Publisher page numbers (℗): normally equivalent to a specific physical edition. Only available if supplied by the publisher.

Characters per page: a page will be counted for this amount of characters (sometimes called logical or synthetic page numbers). Use this if no publisher page numbers are available or if you prefer to have consistent page lengths for all books.

Since stable page numbers can start anywhere on the screen, you can choose to display them in the margin, regardless of other settings.

'Stable page number list' shows a table of all stable page numbers and their corresponding screen page numbers.

Release notes

A random sampling from some new features: full-text search now has a start page (#13798); the OPDS browser has gained syncing and "facets" (#14089), which will allow you to change the sort order among other things on supporting feeds. Dictionaries are now more fiddly (the good kind, with presets, #13774), and cloud storage downloads offer a progress bar (#13650). CBR comics (#13780), and of course more supported devices as always. Also ToC search (#13906), improvements to footnote style tweaks (#13554). For more, please see below.

Release notes

The user guide received a big update, full changelog here.

Dictionaries with images now automatically take the res folder as their point of departure (#12877). This means you'll have to adjust your dictionary content scripts. If you're lucky you can simply delete them.
Markdown files are now rendered differently (#13680).

Various changes in plugins:
exporter plugin drops support for memos and flomo. You can install them from https://github.com/koreader/contrib if they work for you as is but they won't receive support here.
autofrontlight plugin was removed.
backgroundrunner plugin was removed. Third party plugins that rely on it to work need to be updated!
New support for KindleHF. Any Kindle running firmware ≥ 5.16.3 will need the kindlehf package.

Full Changelog: v2024.11...v2025.04 — closed milestone issues

Installation instructions: Android • Cervantes • ChromeOS • Kindle • Kobo • PocketBook • ReMarkable • Desktop Linux • MacOS

Note for Tolino users: this release freezes the system, see #12769 for more information. See #11068 for how to download a newer nightly build.
Some of you on Android may have had dictionary issues. That should be fixed now.
Connecting to Wi-Fi should be more reliable on platforms where we manage it ourselves, most notably Kobo (koreader/lj-wpaclient#11).
Color is now supported when reflowing (#12085).

A big thanks to @ezdiy and @benoit-pierre for taking on the major effort of updating MuPDF (#11940). Unfortunately or hopefully you won't notice a thing, but some edge cases in PDF rendering have been fixed.
Likewise our gratitude to @Commodore64user for the many non-touch/keyboard focused improvements.
If you used the built-in update to try out a development version in the last week of June you might need to overwrite the install manually, see #12115.

Full changelog — closed milestone issues

As usual, there have been so many changes that it's difficult to tell a coherent story about them. One of the more noticeable changes is that the sleep screen menu (formerly known as the screensaver menu) has been reworked (#11549). But there's also been a lot of work on the backend, updating the build infrastructure and crengine.

The cover grid is now adjustable, allowing you to display more or fewer book covers at once (#11232).

In more technical news, the CSS pseudoclasses :is(), :where() and :not() are now supported (#11353), as well as a private syntax extension for matching text in user stylesheets (#11323). Also of note is the new HttpInspector plugin, that can be used to inspect KOReader internals while it's running (#11457). This can be useful when the program is running on a device.

Last but not least, the user guide received a big update again by @offset-torque, full details here.

USER GUIDE 23.10 UPDATE

Image credit: Bing Image Creator (Dall-E 3)

This is the biggest ever update to the guide. 2 years ago I started with the intention to make a simple how-to guide. With this release, user guide reached 60 A4 pages ! KOReader might be the best documented reader app now :)

Our guide is now a HTML document:
https://koreader.rocks/user_guide/

It was very tedious to recreate the PDF as a web page (especially considering that I had to learn CSS to do it).

But there are many benefits like:

• More frequent and real-time updates
• Better compatibility for smaller devices
• Ability to directly link to it in issues and discussions
• Possibility to be packed as an EPUB
• PDF sucks

Also I recently noticed that our color palette in the guide was not suitable for color blind people. Some important items were indistinguishable for color blind users so I updated the colors to provide nice contrast for them too. Also added icons and visual aids to make the text more accessible.

CHANGELOG

GUIDE CHANGES:

• Recreated the guide in HTML
• Updated the colors, fonts and styles to accomodate color blind users
