The Reader now opens long passages quickly. Pasting a few hundred lines used to freeze the app for several seconds and could close it; the passage and its character cards are now prepared as you scroll. Hán-Việt readings are corrected. The label used to repeat one of the character's readings, often a Nôm one, so 家 showed "cô" and 帝 showed "đấy". Readings now come from standard dictionaries, and a character with no confirmed Hán-Việt reading shows none. Copy in the long-press panel now tells you what happened. Without Allow Full Access it used to close as if it had copied; it now says what is needed. The panel also follows your chosen language. Sharing a text file to Diễn Nôm now shows the file's text.
