Build 17 / v1.0.5 — Whole-book reader search

Search now scans the entire book you're reading, not just the current chapter, for both TXT and EPUB.

iOS & macOSFix

Build 10 / v1.0.1 — Wi-Fi sync iCloud path refactor

Rewrote the iCloud snapshot path layout for Wi-Fi sync.

PC (Windows)Fix

Windows — Wi-Fi sync iCloud path fix & Store localization

Fixed Windows writing sync snapshots to the wrong iCloud path — Mac and iOS apps can now correctly discover PC sync state.

Store listing localized across 11 languages for the Microsoft Store release.
