## Summary
* Remove HTML entity parsing
* This has been completely useless since the introduction of expat
* expat tries to parse all entities in the document, but only knows of
HTML ones
* Parsing will never end with HTML entities in the text, so the
additional step to parse them that we had went completely unused
* We should figure out the best way to parse that content in the future,
but for now remove that module as it generates a lot of heap allocations
with its map and strings
## 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 feature to file selection activity for better user navigation when
ascending folders. The activity now remembers the index of the parent
folder instead of always resetting to the first element.
I don't have any means of testing this, so if someone could test it
that'd be great
Resolves#259
## 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
Fixes a bug in the settings menu, where previously wrap-around only
worked when scrolling upwards. Now, scrolling downwards on the last list
element wraps around to the top as expected.
Resolves#236.

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?** (e.g., Fixes a bug in the user
authentication module, Implements the new feature for
file uploading.)
This PR refactors the semantic version comparison logic used during OTA
update checks.
Memory stats before :
RAM: [=== ] 30.8% (used 101068 bytes from 327680 bytes)
Flash: [========= ] 85.7% (used **5617830** bytes from 6553600 bytes)
Memory stats before :
RAM: [=== ] 30.8% (used 101068 bytes from 327680 bytes)
Flash: [========= ] 85.7% (used **5616870** bytes from 6553600 bytes)
* **What changes are included?**
Replaced std::string::substr() and std::stoi() based parsing with a
lightweight, heap-free approach.
Version parsing is now done in a single pass without creating temporary
std::string objects.
Behavior remains identical: versions are still compared as
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
## Additional Context
`std::string::substr() ` creates a new string and performs heap
allocation
* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
(e.g., performance implications, potential risks, specific areas to
focus on).
## Summary
This adds the correctly styled button hints to the keyboard screen as
well as the ability to add hints to the side buttons (and up/down hints
to that screen)
## Additional Context

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?** Add EPUB 3 support by implementing
native navigation document (nav.xhtml) parsing with NCX fallback,
addressing issue Fixes: #143.
* **What changes are included?**
- New `TocNavParser` for parsing EPUB 3 HTML5 navigation documents
(`<nav epub:type="toc">`)
- Detection of nav documents via `properties="nav"` attribute in OPF
manifest
- Fallback logic: try EPUB 3 nav first, fall back to NCX (EPUB 2) if
unavailable
- Graceful degradation: books without any TOC now load with a warning
instead of failing
## Additional Context
* The implementation follows the existing streaming XML parser pattern
using Expat to minimize RAM usage on the ESP32-C3
* EPUB 3 books that include both nav.xhtml and toc.ncx will prefer the
nav document (per EPUB 3 spec recommendation)
* No breaking changes - existing EPUB 2 books continue to work as before
* Tested on examples from
https://idpf.github.io/epub3-samples/30/samples.html
## 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
* **What is the goal of this PR?** Fixes a bug -
https://github.com/daveallie/crosspoint-reader/issues/187 - where the
screen would freeze after entering a WiFi password, causing the device
to appear hung.
* **What changes are included?**
- Fixed a race condition in `WifiSelectionActivity::displayTaskLoop()`
that caused rendering of an empty screen when transitioning from the
keyboard subactivity
- Added `vTaskDelay()` when a subactivity is active to prevent CPU
starvation from a tight `continue` loop
- Added a check to skip rendering when in `PASSWORD_ENTRY` state,
allowing the state machine to properly transition to `CONNECTING` before
the display updates
## Additional Context
* **Root cause:** When the keyboard subactivity exited after password
entry, the display task would wake up and attempt to render. However,
the `state` was still `PASSWORD_ENTRY` (before `attemptConnection()`
changed it to `CONNECTING`), and since there was no render case for
`PASSWORD_ENTRY`, the display would show a cleared/empty buffer,
appearing frozen.
* **Performance implications:** The added `vTaskDelay(10)` calls when
subactivity is active or in `PASSWORD_ENTRY` state actually improve
performance by preventing CPU starvation - previously the display task
would spin in a tight loop with `continue` while a subactivity was
present.
* **Testing focus:** Test the full WiFi connection flow:
1. Enter network selection
2. Select a network requiring a password
3. Enter password and press OK
4. Verify "Connecting..." screen appears
5. Verify connection completes and prompts to save password
## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?** Fixes#199 - Device falls asleep
during WiFi file transfer after 10 minutes of inactivity, disconnecting
the web server.
* **What changes are included?**
- Add `preventAutoSleep()` virtual method to `Activity` base class
- Modify main loop to reset inactivity timer when `preventAutoSleep()`
returns true
- Override `preventAutoSleep()` in `CrossPointWebServerActivity`
(returns true when web server running)
- Override `preventAutoSleep()` in `OtaUpdateActivity` (returns true
during update check/download)
## Additional Context
* The existing `skipLoopDelay()` method controls loop timing (yield vs
delay) for HTTP responsiveness. The new `preventAutoSleep()` method is
semantically separate - it explicitly signals that an activity should
keep the device awake.
* `CrossPointWebServerActivity` uses both methods: `skipLoopDelay()` for
responsive HTTP handling, `preventAutoSleep()` for staying awake.
* `OtaUpdateActivity` only needs `preventAutoSleep()` since the OTA
library handles HTTP internally.
## Summary
* Replace book and section bin format images with ImHex hexpat
definition
* This should give readers an understanding of the file format but also
supply some utility when validating content/output
## Summary
* Update EpdFontFamily::Style to be u8 instead of u32 (saving 3 bytes
per word)
* Update layout width/height to be u16 from int
* Update page element count to be u16 from u32
* Update text block element count to be u16 from u32
* Bumped section bin version to version 8
## Summary
- Update the button hints on the OTA update screen to reflect the
current front button layout.
- Update user guide to reflect current available settings. A lot has
been added recently!
## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**
Fix file browser failing to navigate into subdirectories with non-ASCII
(Korean/Unicode) folder names.
* **What changes are included?**
- Enable UTF-8 long file names in SdFat (`USE_UTF8_LONG_NAMES=1`)
- Add directory validation before iterating files
- Add `rewindDirectory()` call for stability
## Additional Context
## Summary
* Move home screen battery indicator to avoid clashing with button hints
* Default button mapping was fine, but others clashes with the indicator
## 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
* Redesigned home screen with big option to continue reading and
slightly nicer options to navigate to core sections
* Attempt to use the cached EPUB details (title, author) if they exist,
otherwise fall back to file name
* Adjusted button hints on home screen, removed Back option and changed
left/right to up/down
## Additional Context
* Core of this work comes from @ChandhokTannay in

This parses the guide section in the content.opf for text/start
references and jumps to this on first open of the book.
Currently, this behavior will be repeated in case the reader manually
jumps to Chapter 0 and then re-opens the book. IMO, this is an
acceptable edge case (for which I couldn't see a good fix other than to
drag a "first open" boolean around).
