The One with the Thoughts of Frans

As one of the maintainers of KOReader, a versatile a document and image viewer, I’m proud to announce the latest release.

---

As usual, there have been so many changes that it’s difficult to tell a coherent story about them. One of the more noticeable changes is that the sleep screen menu (formerly known as the screensaver menu) has been reworked (#11549). But there’s also been a lot of work on the backend, updating the build infrastructure and crengine.

This month’s logo was contributed by @Sonnenfee
