What is new in Leaf 0.3.2

## What's new

- **E-ink theme:** a warm light-gray page with near-black text, one step softer than Paper. Links take the text color with an underline.
- **Literata built in:** an open-source book typeface (OFL) in the spirit of e-reader fonts. Chinese text falls back to Songti.
- **E-ink preset:** one click sets Literata, weight +1, one column, narrow text width and the E-ink theme.
- **Tap to turn like an e-reader:** the left 20% goes back, everything else goes forward. A click that closes a footnote, clears a selection or closes the panel does not turn the page. Double-click still selects a word: a click in the middle waits 250 ms before turning.
- **Fix:** footnote popups no longer show text larger than the page. They now use 0.9× the body text size with normal line spacing.

## 本次更新

- **墨水屏主题**：偏暖的浅灰底配近黑字，对比度比纸白低一档；链接与正文同色，加下划线。
- **内置 Literata**：开源书籍字体（OFL），气质接近电子书阅读器的默认字体；中文回退到宋体。
- **墨水屏预设**：一键套用 Literata、字重 +1、单栏、窄版心和墨水屏主题。
- **像阅读器一样点击翻页**：左侧 20% 上一页，其余地方下一页。收起注释、取消选区、收起面板的那一下不翻页。双击选词照常可用：点中间会等 250 毫秒再翻页。
- **修复**：注释弹窗里的字不再比正文大，改为正文的 0.9 倍，行距正常。

Requires macOS 15. First launch: System Settings › Privacy & Security › Open Anyway.
