Adding a table of content so it is easier to navigate directly to the
section you're interested on (Almost all `.md` files or at least all
those relevant)
## Additional Context
Not sure if this would get accepted but I thought it might be useful for
those trying to create separate apps that would sync files to the

## Summary
When uploading or downloading an updated ebook from SD/WebUI/OPDS with
same the filename the `.crosspoint` cache is not cleared. This can lead
to issues with the Table of Contents and hangs when switching between
chapters.
I encountered this issue in two places:
- When I need to do further ePub cleaning using Calibre after I load an
ePub and find that some of its formatting should be cleaned up. When I
reprocess the same book and want to place it back in the same location I
need a way to invalidate the cache.
- When syncing RSS feed generated epubs. I generate news ePubs with
filenames like `news-outlet.epub` and so every day when I fetch new news
the crosspoint cache needs to be cleared to load that file.
This change offers the following features:
- On web uploads, if the file already exists, the cache for that file is
cleared
- On OPDS downloads, if the file already exists, the cache for that file
is cleared
- There's now an action for `Clear Cache` in the Settings page which can
clear the cache for all books

# Summary
This PR introduces a reusable Tab Bar component and combines the Recent
Books and File Browser into a unified tabbed page called "My Library"
accessible from the Home screen.
## Features
### New Tab Bar Component
A flexible, reusable tab bar component added to `ScreenComponents` that
can be used throughout the application.
### New Scroll Indicator Component
A page position indicator for lists that span multiple pages.
**Features:**
- Up/down arrow indicators
- Current page fraction display (e.g., "1/3")
- Only renders when content spans multiple pages
### My Library Activity
A new unified view combining Recent Books and File Browser into a single
tabbed page.
**Tabs:**
- **Recent** - Shows recently opened books
- **Files** - Browse SD card directory structure
**Navigation:**
- Up/Down or Left/Right: Navigate through list items
- Left/Right (when first item selected): Switch between tabs
- Confirm: Open selected book or enter directory
- Back: Go up directory (Files tab) or return home
- Long press Back: Jump to root directory (Files tab)
**UI Elements:**
- Tab bar with selection indicator
- Scroll/page indicator on right side
- Side button hints (up/down arrows)
- Dynamic bottom button labels ("BACK" in subdirectories, "HOME" at
root)
## Tab Bar Usage
The tab bar component is designed to be reusable across different
activities. Here's how to use it:
### Basic Example
```cpp
#include "ScreenComponents.h"
void MyActivity::render() const {
renderer.clearScreen();
// Define tabs with labels and selection state
std::vector<TabInfo> tabs = {
{"Tab One", currentTab == 0}, // Selected when currentTab is 0
{"Tab Two", currentTab == 1}, // Selected when currentTab is 1
{"Tab Three", currentTab == 2} // Selected when currentTab is 2
};
// Draw tab bar at Y position 15, returns height of the tab bar
int tabBarHeight = ScreenComponents::drawTabBar(renderer, 15, tabs);
// Position your content below the tab bar
int contentStartY = 15 + tabBarHeight + 10; // Add some padding
// Draw content based on selected tab
if (currentTab == 0) {
renderTabOneContent(contentStartY);
} else if (currentTab == 1) {
renderTabTwoContent(contentStartY);
} else {
renderTabThreeContent(contentStartY);
}
renderer.displayBuffer();
}
```

## 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.

The current behavior of rendering `?` for an unknown Unicode character
can be hard to distinguish from a typo. Use the standard Unicode
"replacement character" instead, that's what it's designed for:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specials_(Unicode_block)
I'm making this PR as a draft because I'm not sure I did everything that
was needed to change the character set covered by the fonts. Running
that script is in its own commit. If this is proper, I'll rebase/squash
into one commit and un-draft.

first commit
* I then added an additional commit which means when you reach the end
of the keyboard, if you go 'beyond', you wrap back to the other side.
* This replaces existing behaviour, so if you would rather this be
removed, let me know and I'll just do the `caps` -> `shift` change

(this just applies to the chapter selection menu:)
~~If the orientation is portrait, hints as we know them make sense to
draw. If the orientation is inverted, we'd have to change the order of
the labels (along with everything's position), and if it's one of the
landscape choices, we'd have to render the text and buttons vertically.
All those other cases will be more complicated.~~
~~Punt on this for now by only rendering if portrait.~~
Update: this now draws the hints at the physical button position no
matter what the orientation is, by temporarily changing orientation to
portrait.

Let's start small by showing the ALT text of IMG. This is rudimentary,
but avoids those otherwise completely blank chapters.
I feel we will need this even when we can render images if that
rendering takes >1s - I would then prefer rendering optional and showing
the ALT text first.
## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**: Fix the bug I reported in
https://github.com/daveallie/crosspoint-reader/issues/292
* **What changes are included?**: Instead of silently dropping table
content in EPUBs., replace with an italicized '[Table omitted]' message
where tables appear.

* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
(e.g., performance implications, potential risks,

Currently there is no visual indication whatsoever if something is in a
list. An `<li>` is essentially just another paragraph.
As a partial remedy for this, add a bullet character to the beginning of
`<li>` text blocks so that the user can see that they're list items.
This is incomplete in that an `<ol>` should also have a counter so that
its list items can get numbers instead of bullets (right now I don't
think we track if we're in a `<ul>` or an `<ol>` at all), but it's
strictly better than the current situation.

Currently, when Extra Paragraph Spacing is off, an em-space is added to
the beginning of each ParsedText even for blocks like headers that are

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?** Fix WiFi file transfer stability
issues (especially crashes during uploads) and improve upload speed via
WebSocket binary protocol. File transfers now don't really crash as
much, if they do it recovers and speed has gone form 50KB/s to 300+KB/s.
* **What changes are included?**
- **WebSocket upload support** - Adds WebSocket binary protocol for file
uploads, achieving faster speeds 335 KB/s vs HTTP multipart)
- **Watchdog stability fixes** - Adds `esp_task_wdt_reset()` calls
throughout upload path to prevent watchdog timeouts during:
- File creation (FAT allocation can be slow)
- SD card write operations
- HTTP header parsing
- WebSocket chunk processing
- **4KB write buffering** - Batches SD card writes to reduce I/O
overhead
- **WiFi health monitoring** - Detects WiFi disconnection in STA mode
and exits gracefully
- **Improved handleClient loop** - 500 iterations with periodic watchdog
resets and button checks for responsiveness
- **Progress bar improvements** - Fixed jumping/inaccurate progress by
capping local progress at 95% until server confirms completion
- **Exit button responsiveness** - Button now checked inside the
handleClient loop every 64 iterations
- **Reduced exit delays** - Decreased shutdown delays from ~850ms to
~140ms
**Files changed:**
- `platformio.ini` - Added WebSockets library dependency
- `CrossPointWebServer.cpp/h` - WebSocket server, upload buffering,
watchdog resets
- `CrossPointWebServerActivity.cpp` - WiFi monitoring, improved loop,
button handling
- `FilesPage.html` - WebSocket upload JavaScript with HTTP fallback
## Additional Context
- WebSocket uses 4KB chunks with backpressure management to prevent
ESP32 buffer overflow
- Falls back to HTTP automatically if WebSocket connection fails
- The main bottleneck now is SD card write speed (~44% of transfer
time), not WiFi
- STA mode was more prone to crashes than AP mode due to external
network factors; WiFi health monitoring helps detect and handle
disconnections gracefully

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**
Add support for reading plain text (.txt) files, enabling users to
browse, read, and track progress in TXT documents alongside existing
EPUB and XTC formats.
* **What changes are included?**
- New Txt library for loading and parsing plain text files
- New TxtReaderActivity with streaming page rendering using 8KB chunks
to handle large files without memory issues on ESP32-C3
- Page index caching system (index.bin) for instant re-open after sleep
or app restart
- Progress bar UI during initial file indexing (matching EPUB style)
- Word wrapping with proper UTF-8 support
- Cover image support for TXT files:
- Primary: image with same filename as TXT (e.g., book.jpg for book.txt)
- Fallback: cover.bmp/jpg/jpeg in the same folder
- JPG to BMP conversion using existing converter
- Sleep screen cover mode now works with TXT files
- File browser now shows .txt files
## Additional Context
* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
* Memory constraints: The streaming approach was necessary because
ESP32-C3 only has 320KB RAM. A 700KB TXT file cannot be loaded entirely
into memory, so we read 8KB chunks and build a page offset index
instead.
* Cache invalidation: The page index cache automatically invalidates
when file size, viewport width, or lines per page changes (e.g., font
size or orientation change).
* Performance: First open requires indexing (with progress bar),
subsequent opens load from cache instantly.
* Cover image format: PNG is detected but not supported for conversion
(no PNG decoder available). Only BMP and JPG/JPEG work.
## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?** (e.g., Fixes a bug in the user
authentication module,
Display the book cover image in the **"Continue Reading"** card on the
home screen, with fast navigation using framebuffer caching.
* **What changes are included?**
- Display book cover image in the "Continue Reading" card on home screen
- Load cover from cached BMP (same as sleep screen cover)
- Add framebuffer store/restore functions (`copyStoredBwBuffer`,
`freeStoredBwBuffer`) for fast navigation after initial render
- Fix `drawBitmap` scaling bug: apply scale to offset only, not to base
coordinates
- Add white text boxes behind title/author/continue reading label for
readability on cover
- Support both EPUB and XTC file cover images
- Increase HomeActivity task stack size from 2048 to 4096 for cover
image rendering
## Additional Context
* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
(e.g., performance implications, potential risks, specific areas to
focus on).
- Performance: First render loads cover from SD card (~800ms),
subsequent navigation uses cached framebuffer (~instant)
- Memory: Framebuffer cache uses ~48KB (6 chunks Ă— 8KB) while on home
screen, freed on exit
- Fallback: If cover image is not available, falls back to standard
text-only display
- The `drawBitmap` fix corrects a bug where screenY = (y + offset) scale
was incorrectly scaling the base coordinates. Now correctly uses screenY
= y + (offset scale)
When picking a random sleep image from a set of custom images, compare
the randomly chosen index against a cached value in settings. If the
value matches, use the next image (rolling over if it's the last image).
Cache the chosen image index to settings in either case.
## Summary
Implements a tweak on the custom sleep image feature that ensures that
the user gets a new image every time the device goes to sleep.
This change adds a new setting (perhaps there's a better place to cache
this?) that stores the most recently used file index. During picking the
random image index, we compare this against the random index and choose
the next one (modulo the number of image files) if it matches, ensuring
we get a new image.
## Additional Context
As mentioned, I used settings to cache this value since it is a
persisted store, perhaps that's overkill. Open to suggestions on if
there's a better way.
**Description**:
Add a new workflow to check the PR formatting to ensure consistency on
PR titles. We can also use this for semantic release versioning later,
if we so desire.

1. Refactor Bitmap.cpp/h to expose the options for FloydSteinberg and
brightness/gamma correction at runtime
2. Fine-tune the thresholds for Floyd Steiberg and simple quantization
to better match the display's colors

(at least for my test image).
## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**
Fixes the Wi-Fi connection issue when launching the Calibre Library
(OPDS browser). The previous implementation always attempted to connect
using the first saved WiFi credential, which caused connection failures
when users were in locations where only other saved networks (not the
first one) were available. Now, the activity launches a WiFi selection
screen allowing users to choose from available networks.
* **What changes are included?**
## Additional Context
**Bug Fixed**: Previously, the code used `credentials[0]` (always the
first saved WiFi), so users in areas with only their secondary/tertiary
saved networks available could never connect.

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.

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?** (e.g., Fixes a bug in the user
authentication module, Implements the new feature for

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 :

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

## 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
Button layout can be customized in **[Settings](#35-settings)**.

- Include `http://` at the beginning
3. Try disabling VPN if you're using one
4. Some networks have "client isolation" enabled - check with your network administrator
### Connection Drops or Times Out
**Problem:** WiFi connection is unstable
**Solutions:**
1. Move closer to the WiFi router
2. Check signal strength on the device (should be at least `||` or better)
3. Avoid interference from other devices
4. Try a different WiFi network if available
### Upload Fails
**Problem:** File upload doesn't complete or shows an error
**Solutions:**
1. Ensure the file is a valid `.epub` file
2. Check that the SD card has enough free space
3. Try uploading a smaller file first to test
4. Refresh the browser page and try again
### Saved Password Not Working
**Problem:** Device fails to connect with saved credentials
**Solutions:**
1. When connection fails, you'll be prompted to "Forget Network"
