 # Changelog
 
+# v0.2.54
+
+The Chronicle becomes a proper reading room.
+
+### Features
+
+- **Book view**: a new two-page, flip-style reader next to Immersive view. Chapters always appear in reading order (Chapter 1 first), pages turn with chevrons or arrow keys, there is no vertical scrolling, and narrations keep playing while you flip.
+- **Chapter order**: chapters now number by when they were written rather than their in-story dates, so new entries no longer shuffle the sequence. The story page shows the newest chapter on top, and setting the Order field on any beat switches it to exact hand-sequenced book mode.
+- **Readable pages**: book pages carry even margins on every side, prose is left-aligned like a real book, and the two pages sit close together at the spine on large screens.

 The Chronicle goes audio: chapters can now have narrations you can listen to.
