Release Notes: v1.1.0 "Visual Polish"
Date: February 13, 2026
Version: 1.1.0
This release focuses on visual immersion and mobile responsiveness, bringing a premium cursor spotlight effect and refined touch controls to the PDF TTS Reader.
New Features
Spotlight Cursor
We've added a premium, "Onlook-style" glow effect that follows your mouse cursor. This isn't just cosmetic—it helps guide your eye and maintain focus while reading long documents, especially in Dark Mode.
- Soft, cohesive glow matching the brand accent.
- Idle fade-out to prevent distractions when not moving.
New Mobile Experience
The controls interface has been completely reimagined for smaller screens.
- Unified Drawer: A bottom-sheet style drawer for all playback controls.
- Touch-Friendly: Larger touch targets for play/pause and navigation.
Improvements & Fixes
- Dark Mode Default: The app now defaults to Dark Mode to reduce initial eye strain.
- Layout Polish: The PDF upload area is now perfectly centered on all screen sizes.
- Performance: Optimized rendering for the new spotlight effect to ensure 60FPS.
- Code Quality: Resolved all outstanding linting warnings and unused variables.
