What's new
- What's New ・Save as PDF: every saved page gets a table-of-contents (outline) entry, and pages can be appended to an existing PDF — collect articles into one document with a navigable TOC (great on e-ink readers like Supernote) ・Faster startup: tabs restore lazily with persisted titles ・GPT settings reorganized into a hub with per-provider sub-pages ・Userscript UI: browse-scripts link and quick access to settings ・Volume-key page-turn toggle in gesture settings ・Side-by-side test build (info.plateaukao.einkbro.a) attached to releases
- Bug Fixes ・Settings screen stays in the browser task instead of opening a separate one (#612) ・Backup/Restore works across application ids, so the .a build can share data ・Offline error page: reload re-fetches the real URL and auto-recovers; connectivity polling removed to save battery ・Toolbar clock no longer ellipsizes in vertical mode
