Overlay toolbar mode

The toolbar can float over the page and appear only when you move the mouse near it, giving the document the full window height. Set it with the new Toolbar = show | hide | overlay advanced setting. F8 (Toggle Toolbar) now cycles show → overlay → hide (#5746).

Toolbar at the bottom of the window

The toolbar can be placed at the bottom of the window instead of the top with the new ToolbarPosition = top | bottom advanced setting (works with both normal and overlay toolbar) (#5747).

New built-in DjVu engine

DjVu documents are rendered by a new built-in decoder (djvudec), which replaces libdjvu.

List view for recently opened documents on the home page

The home page document history can be shown as a list instead of thumbnails. Use the toggle buttons next to the header or the HomePageViewMode = thumbnails | list advanced setting. Each row shows a small preview, file name, folder, file size, and remove/pin buttons (#4909). Thumbnail and row tooltips now also show the file size.
