New version of the iOS app. It includes a new panel by panel reading mode and lots of improvements that enhance the reading experience:

This is what's new:

• Read comics are open from the beginning instead of the last page.
• Continuous horizontal scroll mode.
• Double tap for zooming, there is a setting to toggle it.
• Share/save current page.
• Panel by panel reading, it can be enabled from the crop settings or when zooming into a page, it includes some options to control its behaviour. Only available for iOS14+. I will iterate over this feature in future releases, so please, get in touch if it doesn't work as you expect.
• Make \"Go to page\" view work with continuous scroll mode.
• Setting for enabling the use of metadata as comics title.
• Slider to control the horizontal margins while reading in vertical continuous scroll mode. Adjusting this value will make super tall webtoons look better.
• Tweaked some animations in the reader.
• Increased max page resolution in some situations.
• Layout tweaks for larger screens.
• Fixed current page tracking in continuous scroll modes.
• Fixed library layout when super tall comics are found.
• Fixed small jump when the options are shown while reading (only happened when the page was zoomed in).
• Fixed reading order in imported reading lists.
• Fixed some light/dark themes colors.
• Fixes and stability improvements.

NOTE: if you have experienced problems with webtoons, please make sure to update to YACReaderLibrary 9.9.1 and regenerate your libraries, you could also need to re-import your files.
