The new release updates the main app to 3.1.4 and all the plugins to 2.2.11. This version

• Fixes Premium crash on some operations with PDF files
• Brings Premium features, like autocrop, to the plugins
• Fixes minor UI issues

The first minor update of 2023 includes

• A new style of popup messages
• Other UI improvements
• Few text-to-speech interface fixes

Update: 3.1.2 was quickly replaced with 3.1.3 to fix possible crashes on devices with old (4.4 and 5.x) Androids.

FBReader for Mac/Windows/Linux is not beta anymore. We deliver the final 2.0 release. It contains no significant changes; we implemented the most requested minor features.

• Since this version, you can choose the library view style: thumbnails or the book list.
• We completed the UI features, like missing help windows.
• We added new options: monospace font family, mouse wheel action, etc.
• Multiple internal fixes and improvements.

Today we publish new packages for both mainstream and beta branches. We change the numbering, the beta is now 4.0, and the release version is 3.1. In 2023, we plan to release the updates in series 3.*, incrementally adding beta features to the mainstream.

In these new versions

• The new text-to-speech interface, as well as all the related fixes, are backported from betas to the 3.1 release
• Settings export/import is now available in the release branch as well
• We fixed a crash on some Android 13 devices, especially manufactured by Samsung and OnePlus
• We fixed the issues with opening books with special symbols (e.g., ‘:’) in the file name
• FBReader suggests itself as an app to open “generic” files. That's useful for file managers that do not detect some e-books types properly

Have a Happy New Year!
