Librique 1.3

Text selection

Text selection on book pages uses the system highlight, selection handles and magnifier.
Selection starts with a long press. Its edges follow the handles precisely, including past the end of a line, between lines and in the margins.
Only one selection is shown on the screen: selecting text on one page of a spread clears the selection on the other.

Windows over the library and book pages are centered on the screen.
A long window grows equally up and down and scrolls inside; the translation window no longer reaches the bottom edge.

Page turning is optimized and uses less memory.
On iPhone models with a ProMotion display, page turning runs at the display’s full refresh rate.

The architecture of the layout engine has been optimized: it is divided into parts with independent boundaries; the appearance of pages has not changed.
A page snapshot for the animation is stored once, in video memory, and is not copied at the moment of touch.
Page snapshots are released when the app moves to the background or the system runs low on memory, and are rebuilt on return.
The text selection is passed to the system, and iOS draws the highlight, handles and magnifier.
