2.0.0-alpha.2

Take a look at the migration guide

Added

• The Publication Services API allows to extend a Publication with custom implementations of known services. This version ships with a few predefined services:
  • PositionsService provides a list of discrete locations in the publication, no matter what the original format is.
  • CoverService provides an easy access to a bitmap version of the publication cover.
• The Composite Fetcher API can be used to extend the way publication resources are accessed.
• Support for exploded directories for any archive-based publication format.
• Content Protection handles DRM and other format-specific protections in a more systematic way.
  • LCP now ships an LcpContentProtection implementation to be plugged into the Streamer.
  • You can add custom ContentProtection implementations to support other DRMs by providing an instance to the Streamer.

Changed

• The Publication and Container types were merged together to offer a single interface to a publication's resources.
  • Use publication.get() to read the content of a resource, such as the cover. It will automatically be decrypted if a ContentProtection was attached to the Publication.

Fixed

• OutOfMemoryError occuring while opening large publications are now caught to prevent crashes. They are reported as Resource.Exception.OutOfMemory.
• Readium can now open PDF documents of any size without crashing. However, LCP protected PDFs are still limited by the available memory.
