Latest version
Version 2.3.0
Released Sep 1, 2026 - 260.95 KBWorks with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and laterFixed in 2.3.0- Preserved buffered books until a new page or selection is successfully extracted, preventing failed captures from deleting existing chapters.
- Added unique job IDs and ownership checks so stale heartbeats or completion messages cannot interfere with newer captures.
- Replaced endless popup spinners with clear errors for restricted tabs, busy jobs, missing responses, and interrupted captures.
- Detected storage write failures throughout the popup and editors instead of incorrectly reporting that changes were saved.
- Warned before closing the chapter editor with unsaved book, metadata, CSS, chapter, order, or removal changes.
- Kept chapters with blank titles, added safe fallback titles, and focused the empty title before generation rather than silently dropping content.
- Captured responsive,
<picture>,srcset, and common lazy loaded images more reliably, including pages that use placeholder pixels. - Reported images omitted because downloads were blocked or their formats were unsupported, while still producing the eBook.
- Rounded and validated generated SVG and image dimensions so fractional or invalid values no longer break EPUB validation.
- Generated deterministic, unique chapter and stylesheet filenames, preventing collisions, overwritten chapters, and invalid manifests.
- Strengthened language tag and date validation, including stored metadata from older versions, so invalid values cannot reach the EPUB package.
- Restricted MathML attributes by element and normalized unsupported constructs, preventing invalid formulas from invalidating the book.
- Replaced regex based CSS resource filtering with a tokenizer that handles escapes, comments, nested functions,
image-set(), imports, and other disguised remote references. - Removed or repaired missing local CSS resource references, including incorrect image paths, before packaging the EPUB.
- Avoided creating an empty
images/directory in text only books, eliminating the associated EPUBCheck warning. - Rejected overly long or potentially catastrophic style library regular expressions so matching cannot freeze the extension.
- Removed dead helper code and implicit global XPath utilities that could throw or leak state.
- Expanded automated coverage for capture failures, popup recovery, editor persistence, sanitization, image handling, stylesheet safety, and warning free EPUBCheck output.
