    Release Notes: ef-0.15.99

    First Milestone Release of crosspoint-ef

    This is the first official release of the crosspoint-ef fork, building on CrossPoint Reader 0.15.0 with 14+ major new features and enhancements.

    New Features

    Dictionary Support

    Offline StarDict dictionary with word selection directly from the reader. Includes fast prefix-indexed search, rich HTML formatting in definitions, and multi-page pagination.

    Bookmark System

    Per-book bookmarks with visual folded-corner indicators on bookmarked pages. Includes dedicated management interface and auto-generated bookmark names.

    Quick Menu

    In-reader quick access menu for common actions (Dictionary, Bookmark, Clear Cache, Settings), triggered by short power button press.

    Library Search

    Search across all books by title, author, or filename using a dynamic character picker interface with weighted relevance scoring.

    CSS Support

    Parse and apply CSS styles from EPUB stylesheets. Supports element, class, and combined selectors for text-align, font-style, font-weight, text-decoration, margins, and padding.

    Inline Image Support

    PNG and Baseline JPEG rendering within EPUB content. Images are decoded to 2-bit grayscale with dithering and cached for performance.

    Custom Fonts

    Additional accessibility-focused fonts: Atkinson Hyperlegible Next (designed for low-vision readers) and Fern Micro (optimized for small screens).

    Enhanced Web Server

    Extended web server with file management operations (upload, download, delete, rename, copy, move, mkdir), companion app API, WebSocket uploads, and mDNS discovery at crosspoint.local.

    Reading Lists

    Create, manage, and pin custom book lists. Pinned lists display on the home screen. Web API support for list synchronization in CSV format.

    Display Enhancements

    • High Contrast Mode: System-wide contrast adjustment for improved readability
    • Bezel Compensation: Configurable margin (0-10px) to compensate for physical screen edge defects
    • Sleep Screen Improvements: Edge-aware color filling for seamless letterbox appearance

    Recents View Improvements

    Extension and suffix badges, metadata display (title/author from EPUB), and management options (remove from recents, clear all).

    Enhanced Tab Bar

    Unified tab bar with horizontal scrolling and overflow indicators. Tabs: Recent, Lists, Bookmarks, Search, Files.

    Progress Bar Status Bar

    Additional status bar option showing visual reading progress.

    OPDS Browser Enhancements

    Navigation history stack, page skipping (hold Up/Down for fast navigation), error retry mechanism, and HTTP Basic Authentication support.

    Power Management

    Auto-sleep prevention during background tasks, USB connection detection, and responsive HTTP handling.

    Development Tools

    • pre_flash.py: Displays "Flashing firmware..." screen during upload
