Full changelog

✨ What's New

🚀 New

  • Speech SDK Integration: Added speech-sdk as a fifth built-in TTS provider backed by @speech-sdk/core. This enables direct connection to providers like ElevenLabs, Cartesia, Deepgram, Google, Inworld, and more using your own API credentials (resolves #117, PR #118 by @btpod).
  • Enhanced Worker Monitoring: Implemented detailed periodic idle status logging and reason-based activity tracking inside the compute worker to simplify troubleshooting of idle and disconnect states.

⚡ Improved

  • Modular Monorepo Architecture: Decoupled the database schema, migrations, and initialization code into a separate @openreader/database package, and isolated the compute worker (packages/compute-worker) with a defined OpenAPI contract, decoupling PDF parsing/rendering and Whisper alignment from the Next.js API server bundle (PR #122).
  • Path Resolution & Docker Support: Standardized workspace root resolution for database migrations, bootstrap scripts, and docstore file storage, and added unified Docker Compose configurations (local-slim, local-full) and setup guides (resolves #120, PR #122).

🐛 Fixed

  • Viewport Resize Highlight Restoration: Restored PDF text highlights dynamically after a viewport resize event, maintaining stable progress and visual positioning (resolves #119, PR #123).
  • Logout Session Management: Prevented unwanted anonymous sessions from being generated during the logout redirect flow, protecting user preferences and global settings.
