📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Introduces image rendering configuration throughout the EPUB processing pipeline. Adds a new imageRendering parameter (enum with three modes: DISPLAY, PLACEHOLDER, SUPPRESS) to Section file format (version bump 16→17), parser logic, settings, and activity layers. Implements conditional image rendering behavior in the HTML parser based on the configured mode.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Section Serialization `lib/Epub/Epub/Section.h`, `lib/Epub/Epub/Section.cpp`	Added `imageRendering` parameter to public methods (`writeSectionFileHeader`, `loadSectionFile`, `createSectionFile`). Updated file format version from 16 to 17 and adjusted `HEADER_SIZE` to accommodate new `uint8_t imageRendering` field. Implemented validation comparing serialized `fileImageRendering` against parameter during deserialization.
Parser Integration `lib/Epub/Epub/parsers/ChapterHtmlSlimParser.h`, `lib/Epub/Epub/parsers/ChapterHtmlSlimParser.cpp`	Added `imageRendering` member variable and constructor parameter (default 0). Implemented image rendering gating logic: skip images entirely when `imageRendering == 2` (suppress), skip processing when `imageRendering == 1` and src is non-empty (placeholder mode).
Settings Infrastructure `src/CrossPointSettings.h`	Added new `IMAGE_RENDERING` enum with values `IMAGES_DISPLAY`, `IMAGES_PLACEHOLDER`, `IMAGES_SUPPRESS`. Introduced `imageRendering` member variable with default `IMAGES_DISPLAY` and `showHiddenFiles` member.
Settings UI `src/SettingsList.h`, `lib/I18n/translations/english.yaml`	Added image rendering as new enum setting in Reader category between textAntiAliasing and Controls. Added translation keys: `STR_IMAGES`, `STR_IMAGES_DISPLAY`, `STR_IMAGES_PLACEHOLDER`, `STR_IMAGES_SUPPRESS`.
Activity Layer `src/activities/reader/EpubReaderActivity.cpp`	Updated `loadSectionFile` and `createSectionFile` call sites to pass `SETTINGS.imageRendering` parameter, propagating user configuration into section loading and creation paths.

Learning: In src/activities/reader/EpubReaderActivity.cpp's renderContents() method, when uncached images exist, Phase 1 intentionally calls displayBuffer(forceFullRefresh) to perform a HALF_REFRESH (if needed), while Phase 2 intentionally calls renderer.displayBuffer() directly without forceFullRefresh. This is by design: Phase 1's refresh clears the screen properly to prevent ghosting, so Phase 2 can use a faster refresh mode for better performance. The grayscale anti-aliasing is handled separately after renderContents() via displayGrayBuffer().

Learning: In ChapterHtmlSlimParser.cpp, when computing footnote word indices in endElement() for footnote links, the wordIndex must be cumulative across the 750-word mid-paragraph flush boundary. The correct calculation is: `wordIndex = wordsExtractedInBlock + currentTextBlock->size()`, not just `currentTextBlock->size()`. This ensures footnotes attach to the page containing their actual anchor word, even after layoutAndExtractLines(false) has extracted and removed earlier words from the block.

Learning: In ChapterHtmlSlimParser.cpp, pendingAnchorId is a single string (not a vector) because EPUB footnote targets are virtually always block-level elements (<aside>, <p>, <div>) that trigger startNewTextBlock() and flush the anchor before overwrite can occur. Multiple consecutive inline IDs would resolve to the same completedPageCount anyway, and vector allocation overhead is unnecessary for ESP32-C3. Only inline IDs in practice are footnote back-references (<a id="ref1">), which are never navigation targets.

Learning: In this codebase, assertions are always enabled (no NDEBUG). Use assert() to crash on programmer errors and surface logic bugs during development and in production builds. Do not rely on asserts for runtime error handling; they should enforce invariants that must always hold. Keep asserts side-effect free and inexpensive, and avoid relying on them for user-visible failures. Include <cassert> where appropriate and document the invariant being tested.

Learning: Guideline: Strengthen serialization::readString to defend against unbounded growth when reading from disk data. Implement and enforce a maximum allowed length (e.g., a configured or reasonable constant) and validate the incoming length before resizing or allocating. Audit all call sites (e.g., BookMetadataCache, TextBlock, KOReaderCredentialStore, Section cache readers) to ensure they do not rely on unbounded len-based resizing. If the readString API must remain, add internal safeguards (bounds checks, length validation, and error handling) so per-call-site validations are not required. Ensure Section cache files remain versioned (SECTION_FILE_VERSION) and parameter mismatches invalidate caches, but do not rely on unsafe allocations; prefer safe, bounded reads with explicit errors on invalid data.

Learning: In the crosspoint-reader i18n system (lib/I18n/), missing translation keys in non-English YAML files are automatically filled with English strings at build time by the gen_i18n.py script. All generated string arrays (STRINGS_EN, STRINGS_ES, etc.) have identical lengths, so runtime array indexing is safe without per-string fallback logic. The system prints "INFO: '{key}' missing in {lang_code}, using English fallback" during code generation when this occurs.

Learning: In translation YAML files located in lib/I18n/translations/, literal percent signs (%) in strings (e.g., STR_HIDE_BATTERY, STR_GO_TO_PERCENT, STR_PERCENT_STEP_HINT) do not require escaping as %% and this convention is consistent across all language translations. Ensure that this pattern is followed for all YAML files in this directory to avoid introducing incorrect formatting markers in localized strings.

Learning: In EPUB section files, typical sections contain approximately 20 footnote/note anchors plus a few sub-chapter anchors (max ~30-50 total) even in large chapters. While the code tracks all HTML id attributes, realistic anchor counts per section remain well under 255, making uint8_t sufficient for 99% of EPUBs, though uint16_t provides extra safety margin for edge cases.

Timestamp: 2026-02-19T17:46:26.871Z
Learning: In EpubReaderActivity.cpp, renderContents() behavior is intentional: if uncached images exist, Phase 1 should call displayBuffer(forceFullRefresh) to perform a HALF_REFRESH and clear ghosting; Phase 2 should call renderer.displayBuffer() without forceFullRefresh for a faster refresh. Grayscale anti-aliasing is applied separately after renderContents() via displayGrayBuffer(). This guidance applies specifically to this file and situation.

Learning: In src/activities/reader/EpubReaderActivity.cpp, the EpubReaderMenuActivity result callback intentionally applies orientation changes (via applyOrientation) before checking result.isCancelled. This differs from other callbacks in the file because orientation is treated as an immediate setting that should persist even when the user cancels the menu, rather than a deferred action requiring confirmation.

lib/I18n/translations/english.yaml (1)

95-98: LGTM!

The new translation keys follow the existing naming conventions and are placed appropriately after other reader-related settings. The values are clear and user-friendly.

src/CrossPointSettings.h (1)

137-138: LGTM!

The IMAGE_RENDERING enum follows the established pattern of other settings enums in this file, with a _COUNT suffix for bounds checking.

src/activities/reader/EpubReaderActivity.cpp (2)

572-575: LGTM!

The imageRendering setting is correctly passed to loadSectionFile, maintaining consistency with the updated Section API.

580-583: LGTM!

The imageRendering setting is correctly passed to createSectionFile, ensuring the parser receives the user's preference.

src/SettingsList.h (1)

65-67: LGTM!

The settings entry correctly maps the three image rendering options to their corresponding translation keys, and the JSON key "imageRendering" matches the member name in CrossPointSettings.

lib/Epub/Epub/Section.cpp (4)

13-16: LGTM!

Version bump from 16 to 17 ensures existing section caches are properly invalidated when the image rendering setting changes. The HEADER_SIZE calculation correctly accounts for the new uint8_t imageRendering field.

36-61: LGTM!

The writeSectionFileHeader function correctly serializes imageRendering after embeddedStyle, and the static_assert ensures the header size calculation stays in sync with the actual fields written.

63-116: LGTM!

The loadSectionFile function correctly reads and validates imageRendering from the cached file. When the stored value differs from the current setting, the cache is properly invalidated, forcing a rebuild with the new image rendering mode.

134-209: LGTM!

The createSectionFile function correctly propagates imageRendering to both the header write and the ChapterHtmlSlimParser constructor, ensuring the parser applies the correct image handling behavior during page building.

lib/Epub/Epub/Section.h (2)

17-19: LGTM!

The private writeSectionFileHeader signature is correctly updated to include imageRendering.

32-38: LGTM!

Both public methods loadSectionFile and createSectionFile have consistent signatures with imageRendering positioned after embeddedStyle, maintaining the logical grouping of rendering-related parameters.

lib/Epub/Epub/parsers/ChapterHtmlSlimParser.cpp (1)

246-253: LGTM!

The image rendering logic correctly handles all three modes:

SUPPRESS (2): Returns early, completely hiding the image and its alt text

PLACEHOLDER (1): Skips image processing but falls through to the alt text handler at line 421

DISPLAY (0): Processes and displays the image normally

The inline comment at line 246 provides helpful documentation of the mode values.

lib/Epub/Epub/parsers/ChapterHtmlSlimParser.h (2)

51-51: LGTM!

The imageRendering member is appropriately placed near other rendering configuration members.

98-99: LGTM!

The constructor parameter with default value 0 (IMAGES_DISPLAY) maintains backward compatibility for any existing callers, and the member initialization is correctly placed in the initializer list.

Also applies to: 115-115

## 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. ## What's Changed ### Features * feat: Support for kerning and ligatures by @znelson in #873 * feat: footnote anchor navigation by @Uri-Tauber in #1245 * feat: slim footnotes

@znelson

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. * feat: Support for kerning and ligatures by @znelson in crosspoint-reader#873 * feat: footnote anchor navigation by @Uri-Tauber in crosspoint-reader#1245 * feat: slim

## 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. ## What's Changed ### Features * feat: Support for kerning and ligatures by @znelson in crosspoint-reader#873 * feat: footnote anchor navigation by @Uri-Tauber in

## 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. ## What's Changed ### Features * feat: Support for kerning and ligatures by @znelson in crosspoint-reader#873 * feat: footnote anchor navigation by @Uri-Tauber in
