News: SDK

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.

The new release is synchronous with the latest FBReader 1.1.8. It addresses some iOS 16-specific issues and SVG-related crashes. Starting from this release, the SDK only works on iOS 13.0 and higher.

New release 0.99.2 has been published. This version includes changes from the upcoming FBReader 1.0.26 for iOS. The ePub rendering engine can use colours defined in embedded CSS.
