## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?** This PR introduces a new "Status Bar"
mode that displays a visual progress bar at the bottom of the screen,
providing readers with a graphical indication of their position within
the book.
* **What changes are included?**
* **Settings**: Updated SettingsActivity to expand the "Status Bar"
configuration with a new option: Full w/ Progress Bar.
* **EPUB Reader**: Modified EpubReaderActivity to calculate the global
book progress and render a progress bar at the bottom of the viewable
area when the new setting is active.
* **TXT Reader**: Modified TxtReaderActivity to implement similar
progress bar rendering logic based on the current page and total page
count.
## Additional Context
* The progress bar is rendered with a height of 4 pixels at the very
bottom of the screen (adjusted for margins).
* The feature reuses the existing renderStatusBar logic but
conditionally draws the bar instead of (or in addition to) other
elements depending on the specific implementation details in each
reader.
* Renamed existing 'Full' mode to 'Full w/ Percentage'
* Added new 'Full w/ Progress Bar' option

Our esp32 consistently dropped the last few packets of the TCP transfer
in the old implementation. Only about 1/5 transfers would complete. I've
refactored that entire system into an actual Calibre Device Plugin that
basically uses the exact same system as the web server's file transfer
protocol. I kept them separate so that we don't muddy up the existing
file transfer stuff even if it's basically the same at the end of the
day I didn't want to limit our ability to change it later.
I've also added basic auth to OPDS and renamed that feature to OPDS
Browser to just disassociate it from Calibre.

This adds a fourth front button layout option where navigation buttons
(Left/Right) are placed in the center with Back on the far left and
Confirm on the far right, providing an alternative for users who prefer
this arrangement.
Changes:
- Added BACK_LEFT_RIGHT_CONFIRM enum value to FRONT_BUTTON_LAYOUT
- Updated MappedInputManager to handle button mapping for new layout
- Added 'Bck, Lft, Rght, Cnfrm' option to settings UI
- Updated USER_GUIDE.md to document the new option
## Summary
* Adds (optional) Hyphenation for English, French, German, Russian
languages
## Additional Context
* Included hyphenation dictionaries add approximately 280kb to the flash
usage (German alone takes 200kb)
* Trie encoded dictionaries are adopted from hypher project
(https://github.com/typst/hypher)
* Soft hyphens (and other explicit hyphens) take precedence over
dict-based hyphenation. Overall, the hyphenation rules are quite
aggressive, as I believe it makes more sense on our smaller screen.

## Summary
Adds a new "Long-press Chapter Skip" toggle in Settings to control
whether holding the side buttons skips chapters.
I kept accidentally triggering chapter skips while reading, which caused
me to lose my place in the middle of long chapters.
## Additional Context
* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
(e.g., performance implications, potential risks,
specific areas to focus on).

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**
* This PR adds a setting to (additionally) map the forward page turn
onto the powerbutton when in `EPUBReaderActivity` and powerbutton short
press is not mapped to sleep mode. I find the powerbutton to be exactly
where my thumb is while reading so it is very convenient to map the
forwardpage turn to that. Maybe Im not alone with this ^^
* **What changes are included?**
## Additional Context
* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
(e.g., performance implications, potential risks, specific areas to
focus on).
## Summary
Fixes https://github.com/daveallie/crosspoint-reader/issues/233
## Additional Context
By disabling the Text Anti-Aliasing in the settings, you can get faster
black-and-white page turns that work exactly like the stock firmware,
instead of having an additional flash after rendering (see issue linked
above for example).
Tested on the X4 and confirmed working.

## Summary
Adds support for browsing and downloading books from a Calibre-web
server via OPDS.
How it works
1. Configure server URL in Settings → Calibre Web URL (e.g.,
https://myserver.com:port I use Cloudflare tunnel to make my server
accessible anywhere fwiw)
2. "Calibre Library" will now show on the the home screen
3. Browse the catalog - navigate through categories like "By Newest",
"By Author", "By Series", etc.
4. Download books - select a book and press Confirm to download the EPUB
to your device
Navigation
- Up/Down - Move through entries
- Confirm - Open folder or download book
- Back - Go to parent catalog, or exit to home if at root
- Navigation entries show with > prefix, books show title and author
- Button hints update dynamically ("Open" for folders, "Download" for
books)
Technical details
- Fetches OPDS catalog from {server_url}/opds
- Parses both navigation feeds (catalog links) and acquisition feeds
(downloadable books)
- Maintains navigation history stack for back navigation
- Handles absolute paths in OPDS links correctly (e.g.,
/books/opds/navcatalog/...)
- Downloads EPUBs directly to the SD card root
Note
The server URL should be typed to include https:// if the server
requires it - HTTP→HTTPS redirects may cause SSL errors on ESP32.
## Additional Context
* I also changed the home titles to use uppercase for each word and
added a setting to change the size of the side margins
---------

Added a setting to select `fit` or `crop` for cover image on sleep
screen.
Might add a `expand` feature in the future that does not crop but rather
fills the blank space with a mirror of the image.

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**
* This PR adds a setting to control the top left and right margins of
the reader screen in 4 sizes (5, 10, 20, 40 pt?) and defaults to `SMALL`
which is equivalent to the fixed margin of 5 that was already in use
before.
* **What changes are included?**
## Additional Context
* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
(e.g., performance implications, potential risks, specific areas to
focus on).

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**
Add a new user setting for paragraph alignment, instead of hard-coding
full justification.
* **What changes are included?**
One new line in the settings screen, with 4 options
(justify/left/center/right). Default is justified since that's what it
was already. I personally only wanted to disable justification and use
"left", but I included the other options for completeness since they
were already supported.
## Additional Context
Tested on my X4 and looks as expected for each alignment.

## Summary
* Swap from Aleo to Bookerly for wider glyph support
* Swap from Space Grotesk to a small Noto Sans
## Additional Context
* 0.11.0 swapped to Aleo which has a few issues (things like Cyrillic
support for eg)
## Summary
* Add setting for line spacing to adjust space between lines
* Aleo is already a bit tighter than Noto Sans and Open Dyslexic, so
have adjusted the values to match, this can be tweaked in the future
## Summary
**What is the goal of this PR?**
Adds a setting to swap the front buttons. The default functionality are:
Back/Confirm/Left/Right. When this setting is enabled they become:
Left/Right/Back/Confirm. This makes it more comfortable to use when
holding in your right hand since your thumb can more easily rest on the
next button. The original firmware has a similar setting.
**What changes are included?**
- Add the new setting.
- Create a mapper to dynamically switch the buttons based on the
setting.
- Use mapper on the various activity screens.
- Update the button hints to reflect the swapped buttons.
## Additional Context
Full disclosure: I used Codex CLI to put this PR together, but did
review it to make sure it makes sense.
Also tested on my device:

• What is the goal of this PR?
Implement a horizontal EPUB reading mode so books can be read in
landscape orientation (both 90° and 270°), while keeping the rest of the
UI in portrait.
• What changes are included?
◦ Rendering / Display
▪ Added an orientation model to GfxRenderer (Portrait, LandscapeNormal,
LandscapeFlipped) and made:
▪ drawPixel, drawImage, displayWindow map logical coordinates
differently depending on orientation.
▪ getScreenWidth() / getScreenHeight() return orientation‑aware logical
dimensions (480×800 in portrait, 800×480 in landscape).
◦ Settings / Configuration
▪ Extended CrossPointSettings with:
▪ landscapeReading (toggle for portrait vs. landscape EPUB reading).
▪ landscapeFlipped (toggle to flip landscape 180° so both horizontal
holding directions are supported).
▪ Updated settings serialization/deserialization to persist these fields
while remaining backward‑compatible with existing settings files.
▪ Updated SettingsActivity to expose two new toggles:
▪ “Landscape Reading”
▪ “Flip Landscape (swap top/bottom)”
◦ EPUB Reader
▪ In EpubReaderActivity:
▪ On onEnter, set GfxRenderer orientation based on the new settings
(Portrait, LandscapeNormal, or LandscapeFlipped).
▪ On onExit, reset orientation back to Portrait so Home, WiFi, Settings,
etc. continue to render as before.
▪ Adjusted renderStatusBar to position the status bar and battery
indicator relative to GfxRenderer::getScreenHeight() instead of
hard‑coded Y coordinates, so it stays correctly at the bottom in both
portrait and landscape.
◦ EPUB Caching / Layout
▪ Extended Section cache metadata (section.bin) to include the logical
screenWidth and screenHeight used when pages were generated; bumped
SECTION_FILE_VERSION.
▪ Updated loadCacheMetadata to compare:
▪ font/margins/line compression/extraParagraphSpacing and screen
dimensions; mismatches now invalidate and clear the cache.
▪ Updated persistPageDataToSD and all call sites in EpubReaderActivity
to pass the current GfxRenderer::getScreenWidth() / getScreenHeight() so
portrait and landscape caches are kept separate and correctly sized.
Additional Context
• Cache behavior / migration
◦ Existing section.bin files (old SECTION_FILE_VERSION) will be detected
as incompatible and their caches cleared and rebuilt once per chapter
when first opened after this change.
◦ Within a given orientation, caches will be reused as before. Switching
orientation (portrait ↔ landscape) will cause a one‑time re‑index of
each chapter in the new orientation.
• Scope and risks
◦ Orientation changes are scoped to the EPUB reader; the Home screen,
Settings, WiFi selection, sleep screens, and web server UI continue to
assume portrait orientation.
◦ The renderer’s orientation is a static/global setting; if future code
uses GfxRenderer outside the reader while a reader instance is active,
it should be aware that orientation is no longer implicitly fixed.
◦ All drawing primitives now go through orientation‑aware coordinate
transforms; any code that previously relied on edge‑case behavior or
out‑of‑bounds writes might surface as logged “Outside range” warnings
instead.
• Testing suggestions / areas to focus on
◦ Verify in hardware:
▪ Portrait mode still renders correctly (boot, home, settings, WiFi,
reader).
▪ Landscape reading in both directions:
▪ Landscape Reading = ON, Flip Landscape = OFF.
▪ Landscape Reading = ON, Flip Landscape = ON.
▪ Status bar (page X/Y, % progress, battery icon) is fully visible and
aligned at the bottom in all three combinations.
◦ Open the same book:
▪ In portrait first, then switch to landscape and reopen it.
▪ Confirm that:
▪ Old portrait caches are rebuilt once for landscape (you should see the
“Indexing…” page).
▪ Progress save/restore still works (resume opens to the correct page in
the current orientation).
◦ Ensure grayscale rendering (the secondary pass in
EpubReaderActivity::renderContents) still looks correct in both
orientations.

Add setting toggle that allows status bar display options in EpubReader.
Supported options would be as follows:
- FULL: display as is today
- PROGRESS: display progress bar only
- BATTERY: display battery only
- NONE: hide status bar

Adresses #53
Please check if we still need the code to "Give the user up to 1000ms to
start holding the power button, and must hold for
SETTINGS.getPowerButtonDuration()" - the power button should be pressed
already when waking up...
Also, decided to return before the delay to wait more to make the
behavior more immediate.
