FBReader plans (https://fbreader.org/content/autumn-2016-plans-update)

Our main focus is currently on the iOS version. It will be released for users this autumn. Ok, the reader already works, and I'm reading my books on my iPhone. But some important features are still missing, we want to release a more or less complete version.

Another line of activity is related to the Book Network. Book metainfo editing and synchronisation, custom shelves in web interface, OPDS catalogs sync, multiple books operations, etc.

As for the reader itself, our next steps are Goodreads integration an more bookmarks/notes features. Some reading statistics might be added as well.
FBReader for Android 2.7.4 (both free and premium editions) published on the Google Play. This is minor update. Main changes:

* New colour preference look
* No file change notification for plain text files
* Fixed background settings for DjVu plugin used with FBReader Premium
* Updated Czech and Portuguese resources
Test version 2.7.4.1. We expect it improves the app loading speed. https://fbreader.org/~geometer/FBReader-2.7.4.1.apk
Update 2.7.5 is on the way. Fixes number of performance issues. Available from https://fbreader.org/FBReaderJ/, rolled out on the Play for 10% of users. Full roll-out is expected by end of the week, as well as Premium and plugin updates.
FBReader Premium 2.7.8 fixes "FBReader has been stopped" issue. The issue was caused by error in native PDF library.

Beta testing to be open next week
FBReader for Android 2.8 beta 5: new page caching logic, faster image extraction from fb2 files, and more performance optimisations.

This is a minor update, but includes significant internal changes. We use new page cache logic, and render text selection in a separate layer. These changes are backported from our upcoming iOS release and should improve page rendering speed on some devices and for some books. Text selection should work more smooth, especially on low-end devices.
