Minor release 1.0.24 for iOS is on the AppStore. The update is fully compatible with the iOS 15 and iPhone 13 series. Major version 1.1, with network catalogues and new rendering features, is coming by Christmas.

Built on Qt6. To be released on https://snapcraft.io/store by the end of November.

Status update: a beta uploaded to the Snap Store, we are waiting for a manual review to release it to the public. More details: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/auto-connection-request-for-fbreader/27663

Finally, it's officially on the Snap Store. Still in beta quality. That means there are several known significant issues. E.g., bookmarks are still not functional. We are working to fix that and release a stable version in the next few weeks.

And yes, we will publish builds for Windows and Mac very shortly, as well as the AppImage for Linux.

2.0β6 for Linux: fixed awkward snap bug, implemented dark theme, added line-by-line scrolling, and more

2.0β7 published for Windows and Linux. Mac package is coming next week.

Mouse click pages turning, text navigation by clicking the footer, deleting books from the library and the cloud, and more new features.

The first part of the challenge is complete. FBReader 2.0 beta came to all three major desktop OS. The build for Mac is available on the Mac Store.

The new beta for desktops is in stores: Ukrainian 🇺🇦 localisation, custom bookmark styles, import multiple files dialogue, and more.

2.0β13 for desktops: shortcuts in reading mode, bookmark current page button, and a number of minor improvements.

Already released for Linux and Windows, the Mac version is under review in the Store.

Today we release FBReader 1.1.4 and FBReader SDK 0.99.4 for iOS.

📚 Fixed letters truncation in some fonts, e.g. Academy Engraved LET
📚 Vertical text scrolling speedup
📚 The app adds SVG images support
📚 The SDK customers can add new image formats via third-party libraries; our sample code provides SVG support via SVGKit

4.5 months later, we reached milestone #2. Since the release 2.0beta15, FBReader is not just a reader. It becomes a powerful network catalogues browser. Delivered with four built-in catalogues (two in English, two in Russian), the app allows adding your preferred OPDS sources. Other features include the navigation history, network search, and bookmarking. And, of course, downloading/purchasing the books.

The catalogues browser still needs some polishing, and your bug reports are very welcome.

The update for Windows is on Microsoft Store, and the version for Linux is on Snap Store (beta channel). MacOSX package is available for download from our site.

As the project approaches the 2.0 release, we plan to publish long-awaited stand-alone package for Windows later in July.

2.0β16 is a minor update that fixes a few issues with network catalogues found since the previous release. It also brings a long-awaited standalone installer for Windows.

MSIX file is installable on Windows 10 and 11. On older versions of Windows, you can unpack it manually and run the app at your own risk.

The first update for Android since April 2021 is out. Packages are available on the Play Store (for beta testers) and from our site.

3.1 beta 39 starts a new cycle of Android updates; we will release the next one later in August.

This version adds the permission to access the filesystem on Android 11+, implements support for new bookmark styles added via the desktop version, and fixes minor issues in text-to-speech.

3.1 beta 40 for Android returns all TTS engines to the list, fixes the incompatible cache issue and replaces the broken Yandex translator with DeepL.

Android update. 3.1 beta 41 fixes the bookmarks sync and accidental control keys appearance during swiping. It also includes a lot of internal changes, mostly in the rendering engine. Available on Google Play (beta track) and our site.
