Original release notes

## 1.1.0 — 2026-08-05

### Listening

- Fixed a rare condition where narration could silently skip whole chapters. If a chapter ever
  fails to generate, it is now clearly reported instead of vanishing.
- No more phantom "Skipped in this chapter" notices on dialogue paragraphs — stray punctuation
  is no longer counted as skipped content.
- The voice-language question now appears only when the answer would change what is spoken — a
  fresh install is no longer interrupted to confirm the default voice.

### Library

- Downloading an updated book from a catalog now asks before replacing the copy you already
  have, instead of silently keeping the old version.
- The User Guide now wears the app icon as its cover.
