 # Changelog
 
-## [Unreleased]
+## [1.3.4-RC] - 2026-06-17
 
 ### Added
+- File Browser now indexes large SD-card folders so directories with many books can be browsed without loading every filename into memory at once.
+- EPUB text clipping with saved highlights, clipping lists, and Kindle-style `/My Clippings.txt` export.
+- Per-book EPUB reader settings for font, layout, styling, and reading aids when changed from inside the reader.
 
 ### Changed
+- The EPUB reader menu has been updated to split out the growing menu of items into 3 separate screens for faster navigation.
+- The Epub reader menu now labels per-book reader settings as `Book Options` and avoids showing duplicate `Orientation` controls.
+- The `Inverted` sleep cover filter now flips Minimal and Reading Stats sleep screens to black text on a white background.
 
 ### Fixed
+- Calibre Wireless transfer status no longer stacks the last received-file message on top of the upload percentage.
+- EPUB chapters that run out of memory during full CrossInk layout now retry with a lighter compatibility renderer before showing a low-memory error.
+- EPUB reader font-size changes now restore the current chapter position by content instead of jumping far backward after re-indexing.
+- Reading Stats now use the reader's last live book time-left estimate instead of showing a separate fallback estimate.
+- Per-book reading stats now migrate compatible legacy `stats.bin` files into the `stats_v5.bin` flow instead of resetting when only the old filename exists.
+- Per-book reading stats now use versioned filenames so firmware builds with different schemas do not overwrite each other's stats.
+- Lyra Carousel Home menu rendering now avoids extra label allocations that could crash tiny builds under low memory.
+- TXT readers now stay open when pressing a page-turn button at the end of the file.
 - Long-press reader shortcuts that open another screen no longer close or confirm it again when releasing the shortcut button.
 - RoundedRaff's header battery icon and percentage now sit lower to avoid clipping at the top edge.
-- Lyra Carousel now redraws the Home header when restoring cached carousel frames so battery percentage and clock values stay current while navigating between books.
+- Lyra Carousel now keeps the Home header current when rendering the menu or restoring cached carousel frames, preventing stale battery and clock values while navigating between books.
+- Web file manager multi-delete now handles larger selections without failing after a small batch.

 Cache folders are path-based. Moving a book file can create a new cache directory, so the moved copy may start with fresh reading progress unless the firmware migrates the cache for that move. CrossInk migrates cache and bookmark data for the built-in move-to-Read flow and related file-browser move actions.
 
+EPUB reader font, page layout, styling, and reading-aid settings normally come from the global Reader settings. If those settings are changed from inside an EPUB, CrossInk stores a per-book override in that book's `reader_settings.bin`; books without that override continue to follow the global defaults.

+EPUB clippings and highlights live outside the EPUB render-cache folder in
+`/.crosspoint/clippings/`. Each book gets a binary clipping file named from the
+book type and the CRC32 of the book path. The same clipping record powers the
+in-reader highlight, the clipping list, and jump-back behavior. CrossInk also
+appends a Kindle-style text export to `/My Clippings.txt` on the SD-card root;
+that export is human-readable and append-only, so deleting a clipping in the UI
+removes the in-app saved clipping but does not rewrite old text already exported
+to `/My Clippings.txt`.

 Cache data is cleared by supported CrossInk delete/move flows. If you remove or rename books outside CrossInk by editing the SD card directly, old cache folders may remain until you clear reading cache.

+## `/.crosspoint/clippings/<bookType>_<crc32(path)>.bin`
+
+### Version 2
+
+Clipping files store the per-book EPUB clipping list used by the reader. A
+saved clipping is also what CrossInk renders as an in-reader highlight; there is
+no separate highlight file. The file lives in `/.crosspoint/clippings/` instead
+of the EPUB render-cache directory so clearing/rebuilding layout cache does not
+delete user clippings.
+
+The current implementation only writes EPUB clipping files, so `bookType` is
+`epub`. The numeric suffix is `uzlib_crc32()` of the book's SD-card path, for
+example:
+
+```text
+/.crosspoint/clippings/epub_1234567890.bin
+```
+
+Binary layout:
+
+- `[0]` version (`2`)
+- `[1-2]` clipping count (`uint16_t` LE, maximum `64`)
+- book title (`String`)
+- book author (`String`)
+- book path (`String`)
+- repeated clipping records:
+  - `spineIndex` (`uint16_t` LE)
+  - `startPage` (`uint16_t` LE)
+  - `endPage` (`uint16_t` LE)
+  - `pageCount` (`uint16_t` LE, at least `1`)
+  - `startWordIndex` (`uint16_t` LE)
+  - `endWordIndex` (`uint16_t` LE)
+  - `wordCount` (`uint16_t` LE)
+  - `paragraphIndex` (`uint16_t` LE, `UINT16_MAX` when unavailable)
+  - `timestamp` (`uint32_t` LE, seconds since firmware boot when saved)
+  - `chapterTitle` (`char[48]`, null-terminated/truncated)
+  - selected text (`String`, truncated to `512` bytes for the in-app store)
+
+CrossInk uses the stored spine/page/paragraph fields as anchors, then searches
+near that location for the stored clipping text after relayout. This is similar
+to keeping both a DOM position and a text quote in a web app: the numeric
+position gives a fast starting point, while the text makes jumps and highlights
+survive font, layout, or page-count changes when possible.
+
+Creating a clipping also appends a Kindle-style export entry to
+`/My Clippings.txt` on the SD-card root. That text export can keep up to `2000`
+bytes of the selected text and is append-only. Removing a clipping from the
+reader deletes or rewrites only the binary clipping file; it does not remove
+previous entries from `/My Clippings.txt`.
+
+When CrossInk moves an EPUB through its built-in move-to-Read flow, it rewrites
+the clipping file under the new path-derived name and removes the old one. If a
+book is renamed or moved outside CrossInk, the path hash changes, so the old
+clipping file may no longer be associated with the book until the file is moved
+back or the clipping store is migrated.
+
+## `stats_v5.bin`
+
+### Version 5
+
+`stats_v5.bin` stores per-book reading statistics for stats schema version 5.
+Versioned filenames let firmware branches with different stats schemas keep
+their own per-book stats files without overwriting each other. Version 5 extends
+version 4 with a cached live reader book time-left estimate so Home and Reading
+Stats can show the same estimate the reader last computed.
+
+When `stats_v5.bin` is missing, CrossInk can read the previous versioned stats
+filename (`stats_v4.bin` for version 5, `stats_v5.bin` after a future version 6
+bump) before falling back to legacy `stats.bin` files with compatible stats
+payloads. Future changes are always saved to the current versioned filename.
+
+Binary layout:
+
+- `[0]` version (`5`)

+## Clippings And Highlights
+
+CrossInk supports EPUB text clippings from the reader. Use **Create Clipping**
+from the reader menu, select text on the current page, and save it.
+
+A saved clipping is used in three ways:
+
+- It appears as a highlight in the reader
+- It appears in the in-app clipping list for that book
+- It is appended to `/My Clippings.txt` on the SD card in a Kindle-style text format
+
+The in-app clipping list is stored separately from the text export. Deleting a
+clipping from CrossInk removes the saved clipping and highlight from the device
+UI, but it does not rewrite old entries that were already appended to
+`/My Clippings.txt`.
+
