Changes in latest 0.10.X series:

  • Network libraries integration has been added. FBReader can search and download books from Feedbooks.com and LitRes libraries. We plan to add more libraries in future releases. Short guide for this new feature is available online. Privacy notice : FBReader does not send any information to libraries without user request (and never sends any information about user's library or other user's information).
  • Partial CSS support for epub files has been added. CSS support in html and fb2 is coming soon.
  • Epub and Mobipocket book formats support has been substantially improved.
  • Library view usability has been improved: you can now organize the tree either by author or by tag.
  • You can now select a word by double-click and a paragraph by triple-click.
  • Right-to-left languages and bidirectional texts support has been added (GNU FriBidi library is used).
  • Support for Arabic, Hebrew, Greek and Turkish has been added.
  • Czech localization has been added (many thanks to Lubomír Čevela).
  • FBReader now has a new set of icons.
  • It's now possible to use OS scrollbar for navigating through the text (this is now default and if you would like to continue using old variant, you can change it in the preferences dialog.)
  • Various bugs have been fixed.

Currently FBreader oficially not supported on Mac OS X.
