Changes in each build, newest first. These are the same notes testers see in TestFlight and Google Play.
1.1.0 (iOS build 47, Android 47)
New
Library: the new Library has ZIM Collections, Bookshelves, the Catalog and the Cache guide (with What's new and Credits)
Library: add a PDF, several at once, or a whole folder; scanned pages are read too; each book becomes searchable and is shelved by subject with a call number; if Cache is not sure, the book waits in Unsorted with a best guess to place it
Bookshelves: list, drawers and spines views, and Go to a number; a book's page lets you rename it, hide it, and mark spare copies of the same book
Search and Ask: find text inside your PDFs and inside the PDFs, EPUBs and video captions in your ZIMs; answers cite the page, chapter or moment
Reader: read PDFs and EPUBs inside Cache
Discover: ready-made setups (Ready, Backcountry, Homestead) plus libraries and maps, each showing what it adds before you get it
Setup: a step-by-step welcome setup, which you can run again from Settings
Maps: while navigating, a smaller turn banner, an elevation profile you pull up from the guidance card, and a mini map of the whole route (tap to swap it with the live map)
Videos: one Videos list and a new player with captions, quality choice, resume and a transcript on larger screens; saved videos are searchable by what is said in them
Sharing and sync: choose what to share item by item, with Sync now at every level, and a page for each linked device where settings can match or follow one device
Add your own source: plug in a web service as a weather or data source
No model needed: search-only mode when no model is installed
Obsidian and Logseq: tag a note #cachesync to bring it into Cache
Layout: better layouts for phones held sideways, tablets and large iPads
Known: Ask can still take a long time to answer on some phones
Known: Ask sometimes offers to search instead of searching
