Releases
- Nov 12, 2026 0.5.0Alexandria 0.5.0, build 7: discover your Towers from self-encrypted workspace records shared by compatible NStack apps, choose a Tower, then choose an accessible workspace. Fresh membership checks verify each connection. Newest saved records and deletion markers take precedence. Manual entry and retry remain available. Existing books, reading positions, notes and identity are preserved. Cross-app and multiple-Tower cases were tested with signed fixtures; physical Amber interaction remains unverified.
- Nov 12, 2026 0.4.1Social → Activity now includes your own shared reading updates, shelves, reviews, book files and highlights alongside other readers. Your cards are marked You and show the audience and actual queued, accepted, rejected or unconfirmed delivery state. The feed retains the version actually shared, not later private draft edits, deduplicates local and relay copies, and keeps private or withdrawn items out. Opening the feed never starts a new share. Older shares whose content was not kept show a clearly labelled generic card.
- Nov 12, 2026 0.4.0Select a passage in the reader to save a private, encrypted, synced highlight or explicitly publish it as a standard NIP-84 highlight (kind 9802). Shared highlights include the book title and author, a valid ISBN when available, Produced by Alexandria and the Zapstore download link. Optionally include a separately published, sanitized cover image without publishing the EPUB. Preview before publishing; track relay delivery, retry interrupted sends and request public-post removal. Saved highlights draw on the page and remain available after restarting. Verified live relay and Boris interoperability; Boris native Android currently displays cover URLs as text rather than inline images.
- Nov 11, 2026 0.3.0Social reading: choose Private, Public, People I follow or curated friend groups separately for shelves, reading activity, reviews and EPUB shares. Restricted shares use recipient encryption; public EPUB copies require explicit confirmation. Add reviews, ratings, spoiler controls and discussion, and opt in to Alexandria reader discovery. New app-only Auto/Portrait/Landscape orientation and an optional keep-screen-on setting while reading. Private page positions, bookmarks and notes remain private. Downloads verify ciphertext, decryption and EPUB checksums; interrupted sharing preserves the chosen audience.
- Nov 11, 2026 0.2.0Alexandria now uses its own private Nstack app space without a channel picker. Fixes verified EPUB downloads and duplicate retries, adds per-book reading notes and cross-device position sync for identical locally imported EPUBs, and preserves existing preview reading data. Raw S3 copies require registered Nstack objects or a supported library manifest.
