* This version should be noticeably faster, especially when highlighting (or doing any other action on) an open document.
* There is now a setting to have your device stay awake (screen not turn off) while you have a document open, on by default.
* This version supports some new fonts!
* Swiping unseen documents to mark them as seen will not longer move them to your "Currently Reading" section
--
* This version also fixes quite a few bugs that were causing the app to crash, documents to format incorrectly, and other wonky behavior.
* Many many improvements to PDFs! You can now navigate the Table of Contents for PDFs, thumbnails of a PDF for quick navigation, and more easily open the menu with a PDF open (just tap the PDF)
* New appearance settings, that allow you to more carefully customize the font size and spacing.
* We majorly improved the speed of Text To Speech! Previously, TTS would often speak too fast -- it should now be much better.
* You can now listen (TTS) to emails and ePubs!
* You can now summarize any document easily using GPT from the right sidebar
... Plus much much more! This just covers the recent _mobile_ changes, not to mention web. And of course we continue to make good progress on our most important project: making the performance of the mobile app 10x+ better.
