Release notes for 3.0.24

* Do not show the ui controls when the user selects any text in the
transformed view. When text is selected, that registers a click event
which shows the ui controls and that can be distracting.

* Add a new option for multi-column text support. The reading width
will be split into the specified number of columns. This is useful
for people with wide screens. However, printing to PDF will always
print with a single column. With multiple columns, if you need to
scroll down to finish reading the first column, use HOME key to
move to the top of the page to start reading the next column.

* Minor code cleanup and changes to support above enhancements.

* Updated copyright information to year 2022
