Changelog

New

• Appearance settings: Added System / Light / Dark options, with dark-mode support across player, shadowing, LS100, home, search, purchase, and other major screens
• Enhanced ebook reading: Local EPUB reading now supports page-turn mode, wide-screen two-column layout, ruby annotations, reading progress, and per-chapter TTS with sentence highlighting
• Word book upgrades: Word cards now show in-context meanings, form analysis, common collocations, and multiple sources; book-saved words can jump back to the original paragraph
• Podcast playback and transcription: Podcast episodes and search previews can use a proxy for overseas audio, improving playback and transcription reliability

Improvements

• Ebook layout and translation: Local EPUB rendering better preserves images, tables, and chapter layout; chapter translations stream in progressively and avoid repeated translation cost
• Reading and practice flow: Adding words from ebooks no longer shifts reading position; shadowing resumes after the last recorded sentence and shows clearer feedback for evaluation or quota issues
• Collection sync: Collection sort preferences are remembered per user and sync across devices, with fewer reversions after rapid toggles

Bug Fixes

• LS100 and subtitle masks: Fixed recreated LS100 segments staying on stale state, and subtitle masks are editable immediately after being enabled
• Word book display: Fixed book-sourced word entries opening the wrong player, missing original text, and unclear highlights; tablet landscape now uses a two-column layout
• Import and cross-device playback: Fixed local files not resuming upload, unavailable videos turning into error pages, and some Android Baidu Netdisk auth flows not returning to the app
• System and account polish: Fixed unclear non-EPUB import messaging, Windows installer path selection, iOS 26 sheet clipping, and occasional model reasoning leakage in dictionary definitions

New

• E-books: import EPUB files and read them in-app — tap any word to look it up and add it to your word book
• Cross-device sync: learning habits (loop mode, subtitle / translation visibility…) and practice progress (single-sentence loop, remaining loop count) now sync automatically — start a sentence on your phone, finish it on your iPad
• Cantonese transcripts: simplified characters are now automatically converted to Hong Kong traditional, with jyutping filled in
• Re-segment practice: a new "Re-segment" entry inside the segment list sheet, with a clearer warning that explains what is kept (recordings, scores, evaluation history) vs deleted (per-segment practice progress, extracted vocabulary)

Improvements

• Book reader refined: controls (TOC / Translate / Aa) moved from the top bar to a bottom bar, both bars slide in together on tap; Continue Learning now opens books directly in the reader and shows reading progress
• Segment mode now resumes at the first incomplete segment when you enter
• Desktop honors system text size: Windows / macOS / Linux now scale up to 2.0x, so increasing your system "Text size" actually enlarges in-app fonts
• Resume playback toast: the last-position banner now has a close button and a "Play from start" action to jump back to the beginning
• Practice preview cards: now show US/UK phonetics, with an extra romanization line for Japanese, Korean and Thai entries and a TTS button on every card; the "无" placeholder no longer leaks into the UI

Bug Fixes

• Player stability & tablet polish: fixed occasional crashes when opening the player, YouTube full-loop not restarting after playback ends, tablets being forced into portrait after exiting fullscreen, wide Android tablets wasting vertical space, the loop-mode button icon not reflecting the active mode, the player page becoming unresponsive on Xiaomi-like devices after pausing with the screen off, and tapping highlighted expressions or word-book words failing to open their detail sheet in word-selection mode
• Shadowing practice: fixed playback replaying the previous sentence's recording after switching sentences and coming back; the listen count not incrementing per loop in single-sentence-loop mode; one play being counted as multiple in standard shadowing mode; YouTube auto-replaying a segment once at the end; pronunciation-score feedback leaking Chinese strings into non-zh UIs; and "suggest linking" hints repeating inside a single linked group
• Book import & deletion: fixed the blank reader screen right after importing (now shows parse progress); book deletion is much faster and automatically cleans up the original book file
• Pronunciation points limit: tapping pronunciation after running out of points no longer shows "Internal server error" — the upgrade dialog appears instead
• Tablet auth & desktop dialogs: tablet / iPad portrait third-party login buttons now fill the row; desktop dictionary / segment dialogs use a wider max-width, and long titles no longer overflow
