Here’s what’s new about this new release:

• Add a Traditional Chinese dictionary

• Search now includes a Clear History button

• In a kepub, tap highlight will display the menu for the highlight.

• In a kepub, an icon is displayed in the margin for all annotations.

  o Tapping the icon displays the notes for the annotation in a popup.

  o You can delete the annotations, or tap the edit button to change it.

  o The icon is only displayed if the margins are wide enough to show it.

• Bug fixes, including:

  o Fix Forma and Libra H2O not sleeping after powering on with the cover closed.

  o Fix dictionary display in MyWords.

  o Handle PDFs with text before the signature.

  o Fix to in-book search when returning to full results.
