Changelog
Release history
Every shipped build of Acronix Books, dated and detailed. The desktop app auto-updates itself, so you always run the latest — this is simply the record of what changed and when.
v0.1.1
LatestEarly accessThe first auto-updating release — installed 0.1.0 apps update themselves, or press Ctrl+U. One owner password now unlocks the app and signs you in to the cloud, and restoring your books on a new device no longer asks for a separate password.
Added
- One password identity — the same owner password unlocks Acronix Books on your device and signs you in to your cloud account. Change it once and both update together, signing out every other device.
- Automatic updates — from 0.1.0 onward the app downloads and installs new versions itself; check any time with Ctrl+U.
- A confirmation email whenever your account password is changed.
Changed
- Restoring your books on a new device no longer asks you to set a separate password — your cloud sign-in unlocks the restored data.
- Only the business owner can change the owner password.
Fixed
- Enter now advances through the cloud-restore screens and submits on the last field, matching the Login screen.
