koreader v2024.11

koreader-2024-11-slangie

Note for Tolino users: this release freezes the system, see https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/12769 for more information. See https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/11068 for how to download a newer nightly build.

Some of you on Android may have had dictionary issues. That should be fixed now.

Connecting to Wi-Fi should be more reliable on platforms where we manage it ourselves, most notably Kobo (https://github.com/koreader/lj-wpaclient/pull/11).

Color is now supported when reflowing (https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/12085).

This month's logo was contributed by @Sonnenfee
