Squash of feat/koreader-widget-board. KOReader plugin 2.0.0 gets the widget-board dashboard, redesigned
book details, menus, lists and dialogs, Decor page and reading companions. Highlights, notes and bookmarks
now stay in step across web, Kobo, KOReader and the phones (defects D-00 to D-20, migration 0121), and
reading progress and narration hand off cleanly between devices.
KOReader removed Device:unpackArchive in recent builds in favor of ffi/archiver. Update BookOrbitUpdater to extract archives via ffi/archiver when present, fallback to Device:unpackArchive on older builds, and report an error instead of crashing if neither is available.
Closes#827
Lifecycle handlers previously blocked on network work, so closing or suspending a book stalled the
device on slow or offline links. Persist snapshots first and drain them through a lifecycle outbox
with connected-state gates and phase-aware retries, so the UI stays responsive and pending work
survives restarts.
Move persistence behind a state manager with atomic flushes, and chunk sweeps, bulk downloads, and
annotation exchange through a background queue with checkpoints and transfer policies, so large
libraries make progress incrementally instead of restarting from scratch after an interruption.
Server side, add bulk manifest and page stats endpoints with batched queries and catalog query
filtering so the plugin can reconcile many books per round trip rather than one request per book.
Wrap KOReader plugin sync jobs and API requests to execute asynchronously using the Trapper coroutine wrapper and subprocess runner. This keeps the main UI thread responsive and prevents Kindle and other devices from becoming unresponsive for 10-30 seconds during automatic sync operations.
Closes#608
The KOReader plugin's update check response provides the server version,
which already contains a leading "v". The update and plugin popups in
the KOReader plugin format the version with an explicit "v" prefix,
resulting in a "vv" typo (e.g. "vv1.2.0").
Strip the leading "v" from the server version in the updater script
if present to ensure it is displayed with a single "v" prefix.
Closes#644
Introduce a sync coordinator to serialize and prioritize KOReader sync jobs (such as progress sync, highlight sync, library sweep, and update check). Coalesce pending jobs by family to prevent race conditions and redundant network requests. Use a dedicated scheduler for open annotations to handle highlight sync and matching asynchronously on book open. Add a diagnostics menu in the settings to track detailed sync status and provide clear error messages for debugging.
Add support for user-scoped personal notes (reviews) and allow clearing book ratings to null,
providing full sync capabilities for these actions in the KOReader plugin. Modularize the
KOReader plugin codebase into dedicated mixin files to improve maintainability and expand
the catalog detail view with related sections (series, author, similar books).
Closes#552
Add the KOReader catalog surfaces, plugin package metadata, and device progress handling needed for the plugin workflow. Keep progress status updates non-blocking so secondary status failures do not reject successful sync writes.
