Release notes

Changelog

Every Sutra release, one thread at a time — what's new, what's improved, and what's fixed.

1.2
Shipped

A big reliability and polish update — better cross-device sync, a real page-curl animation, dark mode, and a wide pass of fixes across search, downloads, and the reader.

New
  • Authentic page-curl page turns — tap or drag to peel a page like a real book (turn it off for the classic instant/slide turn in Settings → Accessibility)
  • Appearance: Day, Night, or System — a real dark theme for the whole app; book pages keep their own reading theme
  • Left-Handed Page Turns — tap the left edge to go to the next page, right edge to go back
  • Series info and sorting from Kavita libraries — powers the "More in this series" carousel and a proper Series sort
Improved
  • Standard Ebooks now connects with your Patrons Circle email, verified against the live feed before the library is added
  • Self-hosted servers on your local network with no TLS now connect automatically
  • Paged vs. continuous scrolling is remembered separately for EPUB and PDF
  • "Recently Read" and Continue Reading now rank by when you actually read, not raw progress
Fixed
  • Large self-hosted libraries (Kavita, Komga) could silently lose books partway through loading, so those books never turned up in search — big libraries now load completely
  • Kavita reading position now syncs correctly in both directions for EPUBs
  • Cross-device iCloud progress sync now works reliably for every connected library
  • Books no longer get marked "Finished" from a glance at the last page
  • Fixed a case where a server's feed could confuse two different books with each other
  • The library no longer goes blank after a brief server hiccup
  • Hardened how credentials and cover images are handled
  • A range of smaller fixes across search, downloads, and the readers
