v0.83.0: A few at a time
When none of your sources has a series, Uchiyomi tries a few extensions from your repository. A series stuck for an
hour that no installed source has is looked for on extensions from your repository, a few at a time. One that has it is
kept as a backup; the others are removed at once.
A few at a time
- Best matches first: an extension named after a group that translates the series (as its chapters or
MangaUpdates say), then the most downloaded. - Gently: one install at a time, at most one an hour and six a day, and within the backup limit (5).
- One install, every waiting series: each extension it tries is asked about every series waiting in that language
before it is kept or removed. - Never twice for nothing: an extension that doesn't have a series isn't tried for it again for a month. That
includes the ones Fix everything already tried, and Fix everything skips the ones this tried. - Never an 18+ extension for a series that isn't, one in a language you've hidden, or one you removed.
- One switch, as before: Finish downloads on their own. Off, nothing is tried.
Upgrading
- Database: one new table (
backup_misses). Additive.
Uchiyomi Desktop (beta): downloads
Uchiyomi as a program on your own computer, for Windows and Mac. On first launch it asks how you want to
use it: on this computer (the whole app, with the library in a folder on your PC and no Docker or
server to run) or connected to your own Uchiyomi server (a window onto the server you already run).
| Your computer | Download |
|---|---|
| Windows (x64) | Uchiyomi-Setup-0.83.0.exe |
| Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or newer) | Uchiyomi-0.83.0-arm64.dmg |
| Mac with an Intel processor | Uchiyomi-0.83.0-x64.dmg |
Only those three are for you: the .zip, .blockmap and latest*.yml files are what the app's own updater
reads. The same installers are also here under names without a version (Uchiyomi-Setup.exe,
Uchiyomi-mac-arm64.dmg, Uchiyomi-mac-x64.dmg), which always lead to the newest release.
The app is not signed yet, so the first launch takes one extra step:
- Windows: "Windows protected your PC" appears once. Choose More info, then Run anyway. A PC
with Smart App Control turned on blocks unsigned apps with no way past it; use the Docker install there. - macOS: open the dmg and drag Uchiyomi to Applications. The first time you open it, macOS refuses;
go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway.
Windows installs updates by itself. A Mac cannot update an unsigned app, so there a new version is a new
download; the menu-bar icon and Admin → Health say when one is out.
