Mangatan v1.1.0

Highlights

YouTube and mining

• Reworked YouTube browsing to match Chimahon's web-first design: Mangatan opens the real YouTube site instead of presenting a replacement search-results screen.
• Added interception for watch, Shorts, live, embed, and youtu.be links, including YouTube single-page-app navigation, then hands the original page URL to Mangatan's mining-capable player.
• Added NewPipe Extractor v0.26.3 resolution through M-Extension-Server v1.0.6.0 on iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux, restoring separate audio streams and qualities above the 360p muxed fallback.
• Fixed intercepted video clicks that could appear to do nothing, and return to the actual YouTube watch page when extraction rejects a video.
• Preserved preferred quality selection, captions, alternate audio tracks, video OCR, sentence audio, and Anki mining in the full player.
• Fixed YouTube video/channel records failing with IsarError: Write operations require an explicit transaction.
• Added browser playback shutdown, duplicate-launch protection, cookie support, back navigation, and safe browser-window lifecycle handling.

Dictionaries and kanji lookup

• Redesigned Yomitan kanji results into a compact Meaning, Readings, and Statistics layout while preserving classifications, codepoints, dictionary indices, and source labels.
• Added popup navigation with Page Up/Down, arrow keys, Home/End, and hardware volume keys, including E-Ink-compatible instant scrolling.
• Added shared dictionary lookup history across manual, recursive, subtitle, and manga-reader lookups.
• Added safe dictionary display-name aliases plus Yomitan-compatible revision checks, manual updates, and configurable automatic updates.

OCR, subtitles, and readers

• Added selected-chapter pre-OCR, configurable parallel OCR tasks, in-reader OCR-engine switching, and stable OCR progress while changing pages.
• Added two-finger OCR toggles for touch manga and video readers.
• Added subtitle cleanup filters for speaker labels, bracketed text, uppercase cues, music markers, multiline merging, and custom regular expressions.
• Added manga E-Ink mode and a thumbnail page-preview grid with direct page jumps.
• Added HEIC, HEIF, and JPEG XL discovery and MIME handling for local manga, archives, and EPUB content alongside existing AVIF support.

Extensions and local libraries

• Restored manga-extension icons when retired Keiyoushi icon URLs return 404 by deriving icons from repository metadata and falling back to the maintained Yuzono manga repository.
• Applied icon recovery consistently to source lists, extension lists, filters, TV rows, and extension details.
• Fixed custom local manga folders on Windows drives other than C: and improved multi-folder rescanning.

iOS, Anki, and embedded Mihon

• Added an iOS choice between AnkiMobile callbacks and AnkiConnect while preserving desktop AnkiConnect behavior.
• Made the embedded Mihon listener recover after suspension, stale-listener detection, and not-yet-ready startup states.
• Refreshed transient Mihon image tokens, added bounded transient image retries, and guarded reader restoration when a chapter ID is missing.
• Pinned immutable embedded server runtime ios-runtime-v7, built from M-Extension-Server commit 68645ae7a, with its verified SHA-256.

Packaging and distribution

• Corrected iOS tag-driven release handling and artifact naming.
• Replaced the earlier v1.1.0 artifacts with build 168 from commit 66c8c5708.
• Added automated stable mangatan-bin AUR publishing with generated checksums and package metadata.
• Updated release, sideloading-source, and embedded-runtime links to the Mangatan upstream repository.

Full changelog: v1.0.8...v1.0.9

Embedded OpenJDK runtime for iOS 13+

OpenJDK Mobile runtime built specifically for Mangatan's embedded
on-device Mihon extension host.

Every native object is checked to target iOS 13.0 or earlier. The
VM and java.base image are built from the exact source commit
recorded in SOURCE_MANIFEST.txt.

Mangatan v1.0.8

Mangatan v1.0.8 is the first stable release

Highlights

• Fixed missing or inaccurate OCR on extremely tall webtoon pages by scanning overlapping vertical tiles instead of shrinking or sending the entire page as one oversized image.
• Remapped tile OCR results onto the original full-page coordinates and discarded duplicate detections at overlap seams.
• Applied tall-page tiling to both local Chrome ScreenAI and Google Lens OCR; ordinary manga pages continue using the existing single-request path.
• Updated Mangatan to the latest Mangayomi base while preserving its custom reader and language-learning functionality.
• Added Android TV discovery, D-pad navigation, TV player controls, TV settings, and usability improvements inherited from the updated base.
• Added optimized tiled/subsampled manga rendering while preserving border cropping and OCR caching.
• Added custom DNS-over-HTTPS endpoints, Cloudflare bypass proxy support, and persistent library-update error reporting.
• Updated the in-app About button, Discord Rich Presence, README, issue-support link, and GitHub repository homepage to the new Mangatan Discord: https://discord.gg/SqwE6b7Bb

Included pull requests

• #61: moved ScreenAI OCR off the Flutter UI thread, serialized native OCR access, and improved native image-channel conversion.
• #62: added optional manga screenshot cropping before exporting cards to Anki.

Fixes and maintenance

• Fixed WebDAV credential validation and content verification.
• Improved EPUB parsing and fixed EPUB blob verification tests.
• Fixed TV settings isolation, focus behavior, navigation, sliders, menus, and player controls.
• Fixed cross-platform protocol tests and Windows compatibility issues.
• Restored the native image dependency used by manga screenshot cropping.
• Fixed Android CI's CMake version mismatch for the updated native dictionary bridge.
• Published SHA-256 checksums for the Windows installer and portable ZIP.

Validation

• GitHub static analysis passed on the stable release commit.
• Tall-page tiling, coordinate remapping, Google Lens multi-request behavior, OCR block merging, and reader overlay tests passed.
• Windows installer/ZIP and macOS ARM64 DMG builds completed successfully in GitHub Actions.

Windows security notice

The Windows installer and portable ZIP are currently unsigned. Windows SmartScreen or antivirus products such as Bitdefender may show a reputation-based or heuristic warning. Verify downloads using SHA256SUMS.txt attached to this release.
