📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Replaces in-project miniz/tinfl/uzlib usage with a new InflateReader abstraction; adds InflateReader module; migrates font, PNG, and ZIP decompression to InflateReader streaming or one-shot APIs; removes the public miniz header and adjusts PlatformIO build flags.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
InflateReader (New module)
lib/InflateReader/InflateReader.h, lib/InflateReader/InflateReader.cpp
Add a new InflateReader wrapper around uzlib_uncomp with streaming ring buffer, InflateStatus enum, init/deinit, setSource/setReadCallback, skipZlibHeader, read, and readAtMost.
Font decompressor
lib/EpdFont/FontDecompressor.h, lib/EpdFont/FontDecompressor.cpp
Replace direct uzlib/tinfl paths with an InflateReader member and use inflateReader.read(...) for font decompression; remove uzlib include and explicit decomp state zeroing.
PNG → BMP converter
lib/PngToBmpConverter/PngToBmpConverter.cpp
Switch PNG IDAT handling to a streaming InflateReader pipeline: introduce PngDecodeContext (first field InflateReader), add IDAT read callback, use reader.read for filter/row data, remove mz_inflate lifecycle and related zlib buffers; minor BMP helper linkage and scaling arithmetic adjustments.
ZIP file handling
lib/ZipFile/ZipFile.cpp
Replace tinfl single-shot inflator with a buffered InflateReader flow (ZipInflateCtx, zipReadCallback); use readAtMost loop handling InflateStatus (Ok/Done/Error); remove direct tinfl lifecycle and inlined inflate calls.
miniz API & build config
lib/miniz/miniz.h, platformio.ini
Remove the public miniz header API surface entirely; remove two miniz-related build flags from platformio.ini.

In `@lib/InflateReader/InflateReader.cpp`:
- Around line 16-36: The init method currently overwrites ringBuffer without
freeing previous allocation; before allocating in InflateReader::init when
streaming is true, check if ringBuffer is non-null and free it (or call
InflateReader::deinit behavior) to avoid leaking memory, then proceed to
allocate and zero INFLATE_DICT_SIZE; if allocation fails ensure ringBuffer
remains nullptr and return false; finally call uzlib_uncompress_init(&decomp,
ringBuffer, ringBuffer ? INFLATE_DICT_SIZE : 0) as before.

In `@lib/InflateReader/InflateReader.h`:
- Around line 7-9: Implement the missing inflateBuffer function in
InflateReader.cpp: add a definition matching bool inflateBuffer(const uint8_t*
src, size_t srcLen, uint8_t* dst, size_t dstLen) that performs a one-shot
raw-deflate decompression using zlib (inflateInit2 with -MAX_WBITS), sets
z_stream.next_in/avail_in to src/srcLen and next_out/avail_out to dst/dstLen,
loops calling inflate until Z_STREAM_END or an error, then calls inflateEnd and
returns true only when exactly dstLen bytes were produced (avail_out == 0 and
inflate finished successfully); on any zlib error or short/over production,
clean up with inflateEnd and return false. Include necessary zlib headers and
ensure the function signature matches the declaration in InflateReader.h.

In `@lib/ZipFile/ZipFile.cpp`:
- Around line 577-601: The loop currently sets success when InflateStatus::Done
without validating totals; modify the streaming path around
ctx.reader.readAtMost/outputBuffer to accumulate a running total (e.g.,
totalProduced) of all produced bytes, and after receiving InflateStatus::Done
verify totalProduced == fileStat.uncompressedSize (error and abort if less or if
totalProduced exceeds fileStat.uncompressedSize during accumulation); only set
success = true and log inflatedDataSize when the sizes match, and log an error
and break on mismatch/overflow so truncated or overflown output is rejected.

The value is fixed at 32768 and never changes. Using constexpr would be more idiomatic and ensures the value is known at compile time.

lib/ZipFile/ZipFile.cpp (4)

9-35: LGTM!

The ZipInflateCtx struct correctly places InflateReader as the first member, enabling the uzlib callback cast pattern. The zipReadCallback implementation properly handles EOF conditions and buffer management, matching the documented pattern in InflateReader.h.


457-463: LGTM!

The one-shot decompression path is cleanly implemented with proper RAII scoping. The InflateReader destructor runs before deflatedData is freed, ensuring correct cleanup order.


577-621: LGTM!

The streaming decompression correctly tracks totalProduced and validates both overflow during accumulation and exact size match at completion. The cleanup paths properly handle all allocated resources.


17-19: LGTM!

Namespace-scoped constants improve readability and maintainability over magic numbers for compression method checks.

lib/EpdFont/FontDecompressor.cpp (1)

82-88: LGTM!

The migration to InflateReader is clean. Since init() internally calls deinit() first, repeated decompression calls are safe. Error handling correctly frees outBuf on failure.

lib/InflateReader/InflateReader.h (2)

1-46: LGTM!

The InflateStatus scoped enum and class structure are well-designed. The copy semantics are correctly deleted, and the documentation clearly explains the streaming callback pattern for uzlib integration.


47-85: LGTM!

The method declarations provide a clear and well-documented API for both one-shot and streaming decompression modes. The raw() accessor enables advanced use cases while the primary API remains simple.

lib/InflateReader/InflateReader.cpp (3)

10-14: LGTM!

The static_assert ensures the callback casting pattern remains valid, and the destructor properly delegates to deinit() for cleanup.


16-35: LGTM!

The init() / deinit() pair correctly handles resource management. Calling deinit() at the start of init() prevents ring buffer leaks on re-initialization, addressing the previously identified issue.


49-73: LGTM!

The read() and readAtMost() implementations correctly handle the different modes. One-shot mode sets dest_start for back-reference resolution, while streaming mode relies on the ring buffer. The status mapping in readAtMost() is correct.

lib/PngToBmpConverter/PngToBmpConverter.cpp (6)

23-56: LGTM!

The BMP writing helpers and paethPredictor are correctly implemented. The helper functions follow little-endian BMP format requirements.


178-205: LGTM!

The PngDecodeContext correctly places InflateReader as the first member, enabling the callback casting pattern. The structure properly encapsulates all state needed for streaming PNG decompression.


233-267: LGTM!

The pngIdatReadCallback correctly handles multi-chunk IDAT streams, properly skipping CRC bytes between chunks and finding subsequent IDAT chunks when needed.


270-320: LGTM!

The decodeScanline function cleanly integrates with InflateReader::read() for decompression and correctly implements all PNG filter types.


559-568: LGTM!

The streaming InflateReader initialization is correct. PNG IDAT data uses zlib compression, so calling skipZlibHeader() before decompression is necessary.


593-594: LGTM!

The fixed-point scaling arithmetic is safe given the image size constraints (MAX_IMAGE_WIDTH = 2048, MAX_IMAGE_HEIGHT = 3072). The shift operation width << 16 won't overflow uint32_t within these limits.

In `@lib/InflateReader/InflateReader.cpp`:
- Around line 63-69: readAtMost currently doesn't set decomp.dest_start in
non-streaming (one-shot) mode, which causes back-references to use an
uninitialized dest_start when ringBuffer is null; update
InflateReader::readAtMost to mirror read() by checking if ringBuffer is null and
then set decomp.dest_start = dest (or return an error/InflateStatus indicating
streaming-only) before calling uzlib_uncompress(&decomp), ensuring produced is

## Summary

It's been a little while since the last release, but the community has
been incredibly busy. With 155 changes from 48 contributors (30 of which
were new!), there was a lot to cover. Here are some of the highlights:

**🔤 Kerning, Ligatures, and Font Improvements**
Text rendering gets a significant upgrade with proper kerning and
ligature support, fixed-point fractional x-advance for more accurate
character placement, and font compression improvements that reduce flash
usage.

**📝 Footnotes**
Footnote anchor navigation lets you select a footnote reference and jump
to the footnote text, then jump back. Slim footnotes support is also
available for books that use inline footnotes.

**📖 EPUB Optimizer**
A new integrated EPUB optimizer can clean up and reprocess books for
better compatibility with the reader, directly from the device.

**🔋 Battery Charging Indicator**
You can now see when your device is actively charging, with a visual
indicator on the battery icon.

**💾 Crash Diagnostics**
When something goes wrong, the firmware now dumps a crash report to the
SD card — even without USB plugged in. This makes it much easier to
report and diagnose issues.

**🌐 New Languages**
The community continues to expand language support. New in this release:
Turkish, Danish, Finnish, Polish, Dutch, Belarusian, Italian, Ukrainian,
Romanian, Catalan, Vietnamese, and Kazakh — along with significant
improvements to existing translations.

**📂 File Management**
Multi-select file deletion, BMP image viewer in the file browser, hidden
directory browsing, and long-click file deletion from the file browser.

**⚡ Performance**
Under the hood, text layout switched from `std::list` to `std::vector`,
HTML entity lookups are now O(log(n)), font rendering is faster, image
decode is 5-20% faster with per-pixel overhead eliminated, and multiple
string allocation hot paths were eliminated. Pre-indexing of the next
chapter also reduces page-turn latency at chapter boundaries.

---

Along with all of the above, there are many other additions including
**WebDAV support**, **auto page turn**, **QR code for current page**,
**split status bar settings**, **screenshot capture**, **JSON-based
settings migration**, **light/dark theme groundwork**, and a long list
of stability fixes and translation improvements.

Unintendedsideeffects pushed a commit to Unintendedsideeffects/ForkDrift-crosspointReader that referenced this pull request Apr 4, 2026
It's been a little while since the last release, but the community has
been incredibly busy. With 155 changes from 48 contributors (30 of which
were new!), there was a lot to cover. Here are some of the highlights:

**🔤 Kerning, Ligatures, and Font Improvements**
Text rendering gets a significant upgrade with proper kerning and
ligature support, fixed-point fractional x-advance for more accurate
character placement, and font compression improvements that reduce flash
usage.

**📝 Footnotes**
Footnote anchor navigation lets you select a footnote reference and jump
to the footnote text, then jump back. Slim footnotes support is also
available for books that use inline footnotes.

**📖 EPUB Optimizer**
A new integrated EPUB optimizer can clean up and reprocess books for
better compatibility with the reader, directly from the device.

**🔋 Battery Charging Indicator**
You can now see when your device is actively charging, with a visual
indicator on the battery icon.

**💾 Crash Diagnostics**
When something goes wrong, the firmware now dumps a crash report to the
SD card — even without USB plugged in. This makes it much easier to
report and diagnose issues.

**🌐 New Languages**
The community continues to expand language support. New in this release:
Turkish, Danish, Finnish, Polish, Dutch, Belarusian, Italian, Ukrainian,
Romanian, Catalan, Vietnamese, and Kazakh — along with significant
improvements to existing translations.

**📂 File Management**
Multi-select file deletion, BMP image viewer in the file browser, hidden
directory browsing, and long-click file deletion from the file browser.

**⚡ Performance**
Under the hood, text layout switched from `std::list` to `std::vector`,
HTML entity lookups are now O(log(n)), font rendering is faster, image
decode is 5-20% faster with per-pixel overhead eliminated, and multiple
string allocation hot paths were eliminated. Pre-indexing of the next
chapter also reduces page-turn latency at chapter boundaries.

---

Along with all of the above, there are many other additions including
**WebDAV support**, **auto page turn**, **QR code for current page**,
**split status bar settings**, **screenshot capture**, **JSON-based
settings migration**, **light/dark theme groundwork**, and a long list
of stability fixes and translation improvements.

## Summary

It's been a little while since the last release, but the community has
been incredibly busy. With 155 changes from 48 contributors (30 of which
were new!), there was a lot to cover. Here are some of the highlights:

**🔤 Kerning, Ligatures, and Font Improvements**
Text rendering gets a significant upgrade with proper kerning and
ligature support, fixed-point fractional x-advance for more accurate
character placement, and font compression improvements that reduce flash
usage.

**📝 Footnotes**
Footnote anchor navigation lets you select a footnote reference and jump
to the footnote text, then jump back. Slim footnotes support is also
available for books that use inline footnotes.

**📖 EPUB Optimizer**
A new integrated EPUB optimizer can clean up and reprocess books for
better compatibility with the reader, directly from the device.

**🔋 Battery Charging Indicator**
You can now see when your device is actively charging, with a visual
indicator on the battery icon.

**💾 Crash Diagnostics**
When something goes wrong, the firmware now dumps a crash report to the
SD card — even without USB plugged in. This makes it much easier to
report and diagnose issues.

**🌐 New Languages**
The community continues to expand language support. New in this release:
Turkish, Danish, Finnish, Polish, Dutch, Belarusian, Italian, Ukrainian,
Romanian, Catalan, Vietnamese, and Kazakh — along with significant
improvements to existing translations.

**📂 File Management**
Multi-select file deletion, BMP image viewer in the file browser, hidden
directory browsing, and long-click file deletion from the file browser.

**⚡ Performance**
Under the hood, text layout switched from `std::list` to `std::vector`,
HTML entity lookups are now O(log(n)), font rendering is faster, image
decode is 5-20% faster with per-pixel overhead eliminated, and multiple
string allocation hot paths were eliminated. Pre-indexing of the next
chapter also reduces page-turn latency at chapter boundaries.

---

Along with all of the above, there are many other additions including
**WebDAV support**, **auto page turn**, **QR code for current page**,
**split status bar settings**, **screenshot capture**, **JSON-based
settings migration**, **light/dark theme groundwork**, and a long list
of stability fixes and translation improvements.

## Summary

It's been a little while since the last release, but the community has
been incredibly busy. With 155 changes from 48 contributors (30 of which
were new!), there was a lot to cover. Here are some of the highlights:

**🔤 Kerning, Ligatures, and Font Improvements**
Text rendering gets a significant upgrade with proper kerning and
ligature support, fixed-point fractional x-advance for more accurate
character placement, and font compression improvements that reduce flash
usage.

**📝 Footnotes**
Footnote anchor navigation lets you select a footnote reference and jump
to the footnote text, then jump back. Slim footnotes support is also
available for books that use inline footnotes.

**📖 EPUB Optimizer**
A new integrated EPUB optimizer can clean up and reprocess books for
better compatibility with the reader, directly from the device.

**🔋 Battery Charging Indicator**
You can now see when your device is actively charging, with a visual
indicator on the battery icon.

**💾 Crash Diagnostics**
When something goes wrong, the firmware now dumps a crash report to the
SD card — even without USB plugged in. This makes it much easier to
report and diagnose issues.

**🌐 New Languages**
The community continues to expand language support. New in this release:
Turkish, Danish, Finnish, Polish, Dutch, Belarusian, Italian, Ukrainian,
Romanian, Catalan, Vietnamese, and Kazakh — along with significant
improvements to existing translations.

**📂 File Management**
Multi-select file deletion, BMP image viewer in the file browser, hidden
directory browsing, and long-click file deletion from the file browser.

**⚡ Performance**
Under the hood, text layout switched from `std::list` to `std::vector`,
HTML entity lookups are now O(log(n)), font rendering is faster, image
decode is 5-20% faster with per-pixel overhead eliminated, and multiple
string allocation hot paths were eliminated. Pre-indexing of the next
chapter also reduces page-turn latency at chapter boundaries.

Along with all of the above, there are many other additions including
**WebDAV support**, **auto page turn**, **QR code for current page**,
**split status bar settings**, **screenshot capture**, **JSON-based
settings migration**, **light/dark theme groundwork**, and a long list
of stability fixes and translation improvements.
