Sana-Chan Version 4.3.52 Experimental

Sana-Chan Version 4.3.52 Experimental

Version 4.3.52 makes update summaries report the installed Sana-Chan version even when GitHub release metadata cannot be read on the server.

Updater Version Reporting

• reads the installed RELEASE.md after systemd and Docker updates to fill in the resolved version

• keeps root and server updater scripts aligned for one-installer deployments

• keeps the gallery and moderator review queue removal controls consistent

Sana-Chan Version 4.3.49 Experimental

Submission Channel Hygiene

• replaces the prior instruction message instead of stacking duplicates when the channel is changed
• removes non-/submit messages from the configured submission channel while preserving active guided upload messages
• keeps clearing the submit channel from leaving an outdated instruction message behind
