The One with the Thoughts of Frans

The KOReader translation project has migrated to Weblate. Please head over there if you’re interested in assisting with localization. More information is available here.

A small fix, but important if you used it, the LoginDialog widget no longer crashes on switching focus (#5749).

We’ve also added Liberapay link (#5770), in the form of a “sponsor” button in the top right here on GitHub. We’ve often received requests for something like this, and the platform looks promising.

We’d like to thank all contributors for their efforts. Some highlights since the previous release include:

• Weblate migration (#5713, #5719, #5720, #5722, #5734) @Frenzie (hat tip to @yparitcher for some related fixes)

• Unbreak the KUAL extension (#5715) @NiLuJe

• [feat] Adds Document> Auto-save book metadata sub-menu (#5687) @poire-z

• android: import from Storage Access Framework (#5686) @pazos
  Add an option to the filemanager “plus” menu to import files in current path using Android storage access framework.

  The new menu entry will be displayed on Android 4.4+. Once the user select one or more files in the dialog these files will be imported on the specified folder.

  Only supported mimetypes can be imported.

  On folders outside the file sandbox the “import files here” entry will be disabled.
