Release v0.4.3

[majora2007]

Added

• Webtoon Reader mode is here. You can now read webtoons (or manga) by solely scrolling. Progress is kept and you can switch to/from it as a reading mode within the Manga Reader (Webtoon Reader #392)
• Added support for PDFs within Kavita. PDFs will open in the Manga reader and you can read through them as images. PDFs are heavier than archives, so they may take longer to open for reading. (PDF Support #187)
• Raw Images (Manga/Comic) library types are here. They support loose leaf images within a folder. It is advisable to put a second folder named Volume 1 so the files group as one volume, otherwise they will all be separate specials, not fun. (Raw Image Support #375)
• Added a server admin about tab with information about current version and links to discord, github, donations, etc (Add Server Admin About Tab #391)
• Added iOS and Android icons when saving the page to your home screen (Add iOS and Android icon images for browser shortcuts #356)
• Added Library-based action menu to the Library view. You can now scan from the library page without having to go back to dashboard (Bring Library actions to library detail view #363)
• Added Scan Series. From the series actionable menu, instead of scan library, which would kick off a filesystem scan on the library the series belonged to, instead we have "scan series" which will scan the folders represented by that series. If that series has files in the root of the library, the library root is scanned, but only said series files will be processed. This can make a refresh occur in under 500 ms (Investigate Scan Series being different than Scan Library #371)
• (Parser) Added an alternative, folder-based parsing scheme that should help users with Comic or Ubooquity based naming. Can now also check for folder structure like the following (Investigate alternative parsing in scanner #313):

└── Manga 2
    └── Vol. 1
        └── Ch.1 - Ch.3
            ├── 1.zip
            ├── 2.zip
            └── 3.zip

• (Parser) Added parser cases for naming conventions FMD2 uses, including Vol.tbd (Special parsing issues #361)
• (Stats) We are collecting a few new pieces of information for those that are allowing anonymous stat collection. We have added if you are on docker, if you are using the dark mode, and the number of cores. Please remember this data is anonymous and not tie-able back to you. You can inspect what we collect here. (Extra Stat collection #407)
• (Accessibility) Nearly every page has had a title set for it (Shakeout Fixes #422)
• Added a new button on admin dashboard to clear cache for the whole server (More Polishing #428)
• Added Timeout for Regex matching to ensure malicious filenames don't crash system

Changed

• Major change in how Kavita libraries work. Kavita libraries will now allow for mixed media types, that means you can have raw images, archives, epubs, and pdfs all within your Manga library. In the case that the same Series exists between 2 different types of medias, they will be separated and an icon will show to help you identify the types. The correct reader will open regardless of what library you are on. Note: You might have a lot of random series if you have images floating in your folders. (PDF Support + MORE!!!! #416)
• Long running API requests like Mark as Read on a series card now disable the buttons until the request finishes (Long running API requests like Mark as Read on series (card or detail page) should disable or show loaders until complete #381)
• When navigating to a url and being redirected to authenticate, Kavita will attempt to redirect after authentication to the original url
• Updated a few locations to redirect users back to library path instead of home, to prevent a back loop
• Refactored how downloading works on the UI side to use the backend's filename whenever possible, else provide a custom name (and use backend's extension) for bundled downloads. (Webtoon Reader Fixup #405)
• For Specials, Get Next/Prev Chapter should use the filename instead of arbitrary Number (which is always 0). Use the same sorting logic when requesting volumes on series detail, so sorting can happen in the backend. (Shakeout Fixes #422)
• Moved the download logs to the new System page (More Polishing #428)

Fixed

• Fixed a bug where certain titles could loose custom name overrides after a scan (Updating a Series Name then rescanning can sometimes loose the locked Series Name. #384)

• (Parser) Fixed a bad parsing case for "Series Name - Vol.01 Chapter 029 8 Years Ago" where somehow the chapter would parse as "029 8", thus making the file a special rather than chapter 29.

• When viewing a volume's files from a card's action menu, files were displayed in an arbitrary order instead of the reading order. This applied only for Specials and Raw Images. (Volume Info view needs to show the files in reading order, not an arbitrary order #378)

• Fixed a bug with reading order when you have a volume file and chapter files bundled in one virtual volume, the continuous reader would not be able to navigate through them properly (Volume with a volume based file and chapter based files, next chapter does not work. #380)

• When server connection was lost and restored, the no connection page did not restore you to your previous page (No Collection on connection restore is not reloading old page url #379)

• After creating a new user, the Last Active would show "01/01/0001" to denote never active, now "Never Active" will show (When creating a new user, Last Active date is skewed in UI #376)

• (Manga Reader) Fixed an issue with Manga reader where every 7 pages a hard request would be made (and thus a loading indicator). Now pre-fetching works much better and loading indicators should almost never be seen. (Strange prefetching behaviour on Manga Reader #372)

• (Book Reader) Fixed an issue where Book Reader would not properly save the last position when a book didn't have a Table of Contents, even though it should regardless of Table of Contents (Book reader bookmark not firing while scrolling #360)

• (Book Reader) Fixed an issue where Book Reader wouldn't let you click on anchors in the page, when "Tap to Paginate" was on (Book Reader links aren't clickable when tap to paginate is on #364)

• (Book Reader) Aligned the cover overlays for where to click for Tap to Paginate to the same colors as Manga Reader (Book Reader Pagination colors aren't matching new Manga reader colors #365)

• (Parser) Special Markers were taking series name parsed from filename which was unreliable. Instead, it will attempt to parse it from folder name (till library root). Ie) /manga/Hippos Attack/Specials/Artbook SP01.cbz -> Series name: Hippos Attack (Special parsing is not working correctly #359)

• Fixed an issue where after adding a collection tag to a series, upon closing the modal, the underlying page didn't reflect the new changes (After adding a collection, series detail page doesn't always reflect it. #393)

• Fixed an issue when the series detail thumbnail was too long it would push down the Volumes/Specials selection (Fixed: Series detail spacing issue while keeping a restriction on height for webbtoons #412)

• After adding a role to a user, ensure the screen updates immediately (Misc Polishing #413)

• Fixed a bug where epubs would download as zip files instead of their native extension (this also applies to Manga/Comic libraries) (Downloading epubs download as a zip #399)

• Fixed an issue where checking if a file was modified since last scan always returned true, meaning we would do more I/O than was needed (MangaFile.HasFileBeenModified() is not working correctly #415)

• There wasn't enough spacing on the top menu bar on the Manga reader (PDF Support + MORE!!!! #416)

• Fixed a bug where user preferences dark mode control always showed true, even if you were not using dark mode (PDF Support + MORE!!!! #416)

• Fixed a bug where a forced metadata refresh wouldn't trigger a volume to force a refresh of cover image (Shakeout Fixes #422)

• No issues present after 3 day shakeout

• PDF Support is done for reworked Library filetypes
