v1.6.0-Beta2

v1.6.0-Beta2

Mobile-focused release: download fixes, plus a search order change.

• Fix: Anna's Archive on Android: the DDoS check actually cleared but the app gave up a moment too early on some devices; it now waits for the page properly. When the invisible check still fails, a visible browser window opens instead, closes itself when done.
• New setting: "Verify challenges in background": headless solving works on most devices but not all. If verification keeps failing, turn this off and the app will show the visible window instead. The blocked-content error page now points at this toggle too.
• Search order: LibGen first: LibGen serves direct downloads without any browser challenge, so it's now the default and gets tried first. If it comes up empty, Z-Library runs, and Anna's Archive only after that. Existing installs keep their current provider selection.
• Fix: Z-Library book pages: opening a Z-Library result used to route through Anna's Archive (which doesn't have the book) and died with a 404. Book pages and downloads now go through Z-Library itself, including its proof-of-work wall and the CDN redirect.
• Fix: per-ABI Android builds are back in the release pipeline.

Note

This is a beta release, so let me know if you find any issues!

v1.6.0-Beta1

v1.6.0-Beta1

Big one: LibGen and Z-Library are now fully working alongside Anna's Archive : search, book pages and actual downloads, no browser needed. Also support for the new DDOS provider of anna's.

• LibGen & Z-Library support: search all three libraries at once.
• New mirror manager: add/remove/reorder LibGen and Z-Library mirrors in settings, with live health status from open-slum.org.
• Smarter instance ranking: Mirrors that work without a browser challenge are always tried first.
• Library organizing: sort your library (title, author, size, reading status…), tag books into collections and filter by status or tag.
• App translations: the app is now translatable via Flutter localizations.
• Back up & restore: export/import your whole app state (library, tags, positions, settings).
• Android polish: downloads survive being backgrounded, live progress in the notification, natural scrolling on Android 15. TTS in testing fase
• Windows: install via Scoop: scoop install openlibextended from the bucket.
• Fix: share now sends the actual book file, not just the cover
• Fix: adaptive launcher icon no longer gets cropped

Note

This is a beta release, so let me know if you find any issues!
