KOReader 2024.11 “Slang”
As one of the maintainers of KOReader, a versatile a document and image viewer, I’m proud to announce the latest release.
Some of you on Android may have had dictionary issues. That should be fixed now.
Connecting to Wi-Fi should be more reliable on platforms where we manage it ourselves, most notably Kobo (koreader/lj-wpaclient#11).
Color is now supported when reflowing (#12085).
This month’s logo was contributed by @Sonnenfee
