If you have already updated to v0.8.0, there is no need to install this update

  • Downgrades AGP to 8.11.1 for F-Droid builds.

v0.8.0 release notes

  • The EZproxy handling has been completely reworked:
    • Instead of guessing based on error pages, Wispar now lets you decide how to handle proxy links.
    • When opening a paper through EZproxy, you’ll see 3 options:
      • The proxy is successful (keep using the proxy)
      • The proxy fails (remove the proxy and redirect to the raw article link)
      • This is a login page (do nothing) --> Use this on your proxy sign-in page
    • A new "Known URLs" table keeps track of the proxy behaviour for future access.
    • You can also add or edit base URLs manually under "Institutional access" in settings.
  • If you have a chatGPT or Gemini API key, you can ask questions about articles inside the PDF viewer
    • Not a fan of AI? No problem! You can hide all AI related feature with a single switch in the AI settings
  • Speaking of the PDF viewer, settings were added to change the reading orientation and the theme (light, dark, system). It also supports double taps to zoom in/out
  • Up to 3 custom translation prompts can be entered in the AI settings.
  • Changes to the UI have been made to better accommodate tablets and desktop apps
  • Wispar now has desktop apps!... However, only the MacOS version will be available for now. I couldn't test Windows enough yet. As for Linux, a dependency (flutter_inappwebview) is currently preventing its release
  • The app user-agent can be customized. If your device is triggering the bot detection of websites, please try that option!
    • The app default user-agents have been updated for each platform too
  • Large database should no longer crash the app when exporting/importing it
  • A website for Wispar has been made and is available here : https://wispar.app
    • I haven't finished the documentation yet ...
