    Paperback 1.1 is out! It's on the App Store now, and the Android update is rolling out on Google Play soon.

    Highlights:

    • A new PDF engine. It's faster, uses every CPU core, and no longer needs pdfium.
    • Open a document from a link, on every platform. F5 downloads it again.
    • Support for decades of older files: Word for DOS, Word for Windows 1 and 2, Word for Mac, Windows Write, PowerPoint 95, and zipped FictionBook.
    • Word documents get real lists, footnotes, endnotes, comments, and picture alt text.
    • OCR on Linux.
    • Recognized text now follows the page's layout and is remembered, so a scanned document opens with its text.
    • iOS text mode is rebuilt for VoiceOver. Read All goes through the whole book, the rotors reach all of it, and lists and tables are real lists and tables.
    • A voice, rate, and pitch for each book on iOS.
    • Audio books can play at up to 4x, with volume controls.
    • Huge text files open with a fraction of the memory, and the 4 GB limit is gone.
    • macOS is a universal app, and pb, the command-line converter, now comes with it.
    • A Hungarian translation and user guide, plus Slovak and Ukrainian on iOS.
    • Many fixes for PDF, RTF, Word, PowerPoint, CHM, and DAISY files.

    Thanks to everyone who translated, tested, and reported bugs.
