@TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space Thanks, I, for one, appreciate all your work. Just one question if I may ask it. I'm running PB on three machines one of which is a seriously underpowered surface go. Have you tested, if I may ask, opening and moving through books and compared the new rust to the old language, I believe C++? If so, and again I'm talking strictly about navigation and opening, which is faster? The new features are nice, and I want quite a few of them, but I'm sticking with 0.6 on Win7 and don't want to upgrade this weak Windows 10 machine if that's going to increase reaction time for opening and navigating through books, even though other performance stuff may be faster. Any ideas would be very gratefully received, and I'm sorry if this is an obvious question, I know nothing about coding.

@TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space Glad to see the update! But since I was away for many days, I'd like to know if paragraph handling in PDF files has also been fixed. This is really irksome.
