v0.97.0: Your favorites, in your order
Your favorites in your own order, chapters that failed every night on Natomanga and Mangakakalot now come from the
image server the site itself uses, and the read-chapter cleanup no longer keeps a chapter of every series for its
cover. The last answers #332. Thank you.
Your favorites, in your order
- Manage on Home's Your favorites row opens your favorites as a list. Drag one into place (on a phone, hold it a
moment first), move it a step with its arrows, or take it off with ×. - Home shows them in that order, and so do your other devices and the OPDS feed. A series you favorite later comes
first until you move it. - Until you move one, nothing changes: they stay newest first, as before.
Chapters that failed every night
- On Natomanga and Mangakakalot, some chapters pointed their pages at an image server that doesn't have the files.
It answers "File with such name does not exist", with some "slow down" replies among them. Uchiyomi took the failure
for a busy site and tried again every night, up to twelve times, for weeks. - The site's own reader takes those pages from another server listed on the same page. Uchiyomi now reads that
list first, so the next check asks the server that has the files. Chapters that already downloaded are unaffected.
Read chapters go, covers stay
- Delete read chapters kept one chapter of every series for good: the one its cover could be drawn from. The
[cleanup]lines from v0.96.0 showed it holding most of what was left, on series whose cover comes from their source
and not from that chapter at all. - Now that chapter is deleted like the rest. When a series' cover really is its first page (no cover picture of its
own, or Use the first page chosen), Uchiyomi keeps a copy of that page first, so the cover doesn't change.
Upgrading
- Nothing to do.
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-0.97.0.exe |
| Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or newer) | Uchiyomi-0.97.0-arm64.dmg |
| Mac with an Intel processor | Uchiyomi-0.97.0-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.
