Unpacked EPUB files

Annotations

Import annotations from JSON
Search in annotations

Security:

"Allow Unsafe Content" now only enables JavaScript; external content will no longer be loaded. This is an important security fix. If you are running an old version of Foliate and cannot upgrade, do NOT enable "Allow Unsafe Content" (it is disabled by default).
WebKit processes are now sandboxed

Other featues and fixes:

Improved support for vertical and right-to-left books
Support for StarDict dictionaries (#302) (requires new optional dependency sdcv)
Fixed current location not preserved when resizing (#152, #204)
Fixed auto-hiding header bar under some themes (#316)
Command-line options for showing version and adding books to library
Option to clear or disable cache
When an HTML page contains invalid self-closing anchor tags, it is now parsed as XHTML (#275, #288)

Technical changes:

Foliate now stores file locations in ~/.local/share/com.github.johnfactotum.Foliate/library/uri-store.json, and saves book covers to ~/.cache/com.github.johnfactotum.Foliate. Both can be disabled.
New optional dependency tracker (gir1.2-tracker-2.0 on Debian based distributions), which can be used to get file locations.
New optional dependency libhandy (gir1.2-handy-0.0). It's not absolutely required, but installing it would make the experience better on larger as well as smaller screens.
To open remote files, Foliate now optionally depends on libsoup (gir1.2-soup-2.4).

Foliate now bundles two additional libraries:

libarchivejs, which is MIT licensed. It is a WASM port of the popular libarchive C library.
crypto-js, which is MIT licensed. The MD5 module is used to generate identifiers for files that don't have unique identifiers.
