Latest Release Notes (v1.0.32)

Reader -- Books with obfuscated fonts now display correctly instead of being rejected as DRM-protected. Both IDPF and Adobe font obfuscation methods are supported. Reader -- Fixed scroll mode breaking stylesheet images and backgrounds when navigating between chapters. EPUB -- More accurate metadata. Books using EPUB 3 title-type are now parsed correctly, multi-rootfile containers pick the right content, and manifest items with missing media types are handled instead of dropped. OPDS Catalogs -- More reliable connections to password-protected servers. Covers, search, and re-authentication now work correctly on servers that use cookies or basic auth. Fixed a stall when loading large Calibre libraries. Import -- Fixed manga and comic series being flagged as duplicates when importing multiple volumes. Comics -- SVG covers are now rendered on iOS, where they previously showed a generic image. Performance -- Replaced the third-party reading engine with a custom-built one. Books open faster, the app launches quicker, and the download size is smaller. Stability -- Hardened archive handling against oversized or malformed files, and fixed decompression failures on some EPUBs with slightly misreported file sizes.

# Design Brief: Minimal Monochrome

Monochrome palette with a single accent color, hairline dividers, and generous whitespace.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #f5f5f7;
  --surface: #ffffff;
  --foreground: #1d1d1f;
  --muted-foreground: #737375;
  --accent: #f39a08;
  --radius: 8px;
  --font-heading: "Arial", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Arial", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #F5F5F7 (~65%) · Surface #FFFFFF (~12%) · Text #1D1D1F (~12%) · Muted Text #737375 (~3%) · Accent #F39A08 (~8%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Centered Headline + CTA
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Light · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Medium Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Product UI Screenshot / Component
- Conversion CTA: Download App / Install Extension · Trust bar uses Stacked Avatars & Testimonials
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Hero components: Large Hero Product Shot
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with download app / install extension CTA and stacked avatars & testimonials.
- Visual summary: Minimal Monochrome (Light canvas, airy density) featuring centered headline + cta layout and product ui screenshot / component visuals.

## Avoid

- Multi-stop neon gradients
- Heavy drop shadows
- More than one competing accent color

Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
