Readium LCP, a DRM technology designed by the Readium Foundation for ePub books, is gaining popularity. We are happy to announce that FBReader has joined the community, received certification from EDRLab, and can open protected books.

We have launched beta versions that support Readium LCP on Android, Mac, Windows, and Linux platforms. These betas are available for free download on our website. The final releases featuring the new functionality are scheduled for May.

The iOS version is slightly behind; we expect to update it in June.

Additionally, we are working to include the LCP support in FBReader SDK. It is also scheduled for release in June.

The maintenance release

• Shows notifications for any background activity, as required by Google Play
• Improves the app stability, including the library scanning

The minor update

• Fixes Google Translate issues
• Tweaks the library view UI
• Improves the app stability

The first public beta of the upcoming FBReader 2.1 for desktops is available to download from our site.

The release adds long-awaited features, including network password saving (in secure system storage), bookmarks editing, and a tons of fixes. More new features are to be announced next month.

The update includes the same changes as the mainstream FBReader 3.6.0 released today. The zip archives reading was migrated to the libzip library. It works faster, opens more books and is more stable than the old code.
