End-of-summer updates
After almost half a year of inactivity, we release updates for both Android and iOS.
FBReader Premium 3.0.25 and 3.1 beta 21 for Android, and 1.0.19 for iOS fix Yandex.Translate issue. Recently in this August, Yandex changed their translation API, as well as requirements for partners. We try to manage this problem, and as a temporary solution, FBReader will use Google.Translate interface instead. Hopefully, Yandex.Translate integration will be back soon.
Updated plans
FBReader 3.1 release for Android is delayed until May 2020. As an apology, we offer a 50% price drop for the Premium for the next eight days (28 March – 4 April).
Buy FBReader Premium for half price until 4th April evening.
SDK for iOS
Today we release the first public version of FBReader SDK for iOS. The developer library that helps to build an ebook reader based on the FBReader engine is now available for both Android and iOS.
Demo version of the SDK is downloadable for free. The full version is paid.
Happy New Year 2020!
We updated the Android app to 3.0.22. The minor update fixes cloud authentication issues for devices with no Google Services. The next major release, with dark/light themes and long-awaited text-to-speech for PDFs planned for March 2020. Join beta tracks to test the features earlier.
We wish you a happy New Year, and FBReader Premium for Android is on sale (30% off) until the evening (23:59 Greenwich time) of the 2nd January.
FBReader 3.1 beta and SDK 1.0
Today we roll out the first beta of the next major Android release. This beta upgrades the rendering engine to our SDK. It adds support of new features, like CSS-defined colours, speeds up book loading time, and makes some UI tweaks. The beta uploaded to the Play Store, for both free and premium editions. In the same time, we released SDK 1.0 for Android.
FBReader 3.1 is scheduled for the beginning of 2020. We plan to make significant changes in PDF support, including TTS for PDFs. The release will also include completely new library view that combines local and network libraries into a single screen.
