1.13.0

New features

• Space page: old updates, duplicates and NSP/XCI originals that already have a compressed copy, with their
  sizes and the file that is kept, and how much of the library can be freed. Originals can only be deleted once
  their compressed copy is verified, files that changed since the last scan are refused, and every deletion is
  confirmed first and recorded in Tasks.
• A new game page: the facts span the whole header and never cut a value (the title ID can be copied), files
  and DLC are lists that work on phones, and the DLC share is a bar.

Other changes

• Every page was reviewed on computers and phones:
  • The menu fits in every language: it is horizontal from 1400 pixels wide and opens from the menu button below.
  • Library cards keep their rows aligned, with a "No DLC" row for games without DLC.
  • Updates cards show the kind translated, a selection box on the cover and a wider ignore button.
  • Issues, Compress and Space use lists instead of tables; issues show file names instead of full paths, Compress
    has a filter and the Decompress section is folded.
  • Clearer texts on the account page when login is disabled and on the Issues and Tasks pages.
• The GitHub workflows run on Ubuntu 24.04, so the change of ubuntu-latest does not break them.

1.12.0

New features

• Verify the library: the Issues page checks every file, NSP and XCI against the content IDs of their NCA files,
  NSZ and XCZ by decompressing them, without keys. Damaged files are listed as issues. Only new and changed files
  are checked again, and the check can run by itself every week or month.
• Automatic compression: new NSP and XCI files can be compressed as soon as they appear or every night at 3:00,
  with the same checks as on the Compress page. It needs your own prod.keys.
• Required firmware: game pages and cards show the system version a game or update needs, and warn when it is
  newer than the firmware of your console, set in the settings.
• New version notice: administrators see when a new version is released (asked to GitHub once a day, nothing
  about your library is sent; it can be turned off).
• Backups: the settings page downloads a ZIP with the settings, users, verification results and notified
  versions, and restores it. Keys and the session key are never included.
• Install as an app: the interface can be installed on phones and computers, with a maskable icon, shortcuts and
  a notice when the server cannot be reached. Only the app's own files are cached.
• Four more languages: French, German, Italian and Portuguese, including game names. Only the game names of the
  languages in use are downloaded.
• Demo mode: SLM_DEMO=true shows a made-up library to try the app without games; the README and the Unraid
  template show screenshots of it.

Other changes

• A Content Security Policy and other security headers: the browser only runs the app's own scripts and refuses
  being framed by other sites.
• NSZ files, including update patches, were checked with the official nsz tool: it gives back the original NSP
  files byte for byte.

1.11.0

New features

• Motion: smooth transitions between pages, gauges and charts that fill up, bars that grow, numbers that count
  up, covers that shimmer while loading and fade in, a subtle tilt of the game cards towards the pointer, and small
  animations on buttons, menus and alerts. Everything stays still when the system asks for reduced motion.

Other changes

• Clearer texts about keys: they are always your own, dumped from your console, and never included in the app,
  downloaded or uploaded. Without keys games are recognized by their file names and compression is off.
• The README is rewritten: legal notice, quick start for Docker, Unraid and other systems, a section about keys,
  guides and troubleshooting.

1.10.0

New features

• A more visual interface:
  • The Library page opens with an overview: games, updates, missing DLC and total size in colored tiles that link
    to their pages, and a bar with the share of games up to date.
  • Game cards get a gradient ring when hovered, an update badge on the cover and a bar with the DLC you have.
  • The Statistics page shows the space by content as a donut chart and the games up to date as a gauge; the game
    page shows the share of its DLC you have.
  • The Inter font, embedded in the app so it also works offline, soft brand colored light behind the pages, and
    cards that fade in one after the other (off when the system asks for reduced motion).

1.9.0

New features

• XCI to XCZ: the Compress page compresses XCI files too, in the XCZ format of nsz (only the secure partition is
  kept, the one installers use), verified like NSZ files.
• Update patches are compressed: their patch sections are read with the counters of their subsection table, so
  updates save space as well (they were stored without compression).
• Decompress NSZ to NSP: a new section of the Compress page turns NSZ files back into NSP files, byte for byte the
  original, checked before the NSZ is deleted, for tools that do not read NSZ.
• Unraid: the app is listed in Community Applications. Search for Switch Library Manager in the Apps tab: the
  port, folders and user (99:100) are filled in and can be changed later.

Other changes

• Removed an obsolete Windows tile configuration of the web interface.

1.8.0

New features

• Compress NSP to NSZ: the new Compress page turns NSP files into NSZ files, usually 10 to 60% smaller (a test
  game went from 214 MB to 100 MB), installed directly by Tinfoil, DBI and other installers.
  • Every file is checked before and after: damaged NSP files are not compressed, and each NSZ is decompressed again
    and must give back every NCA byte for byte (same SHA-256) before the original is deleted.
  • Choose the level (fast, balanced, maximum) and whether the originals are deleted. Runs in the background with
    live progress in Tasks, can be cancelled, and leaves half of the processors free.
  • Written in Go, compatible with the NSZ format of nsz: nothing else needs to be installed, on Windows, Docker or a
    Raspberry Pi.
  • Games whose NSP has no ticket use the title key of a title.keys file next to prod.keys.

Fixes

• An NSP without content metadata (for example a damaged one) is listed in Issues instead of disappearing from the
  library.

Other changes

• The project moved to the DeLFuS77 account. Saved settings that point to the previous address are updated
  automatically, and the Docker Hub description follows the README.

Performance

Big libraries and the full titles database are handled much faster, with less memory:

• Scans read up to 4 files at the same time (scan_workers in settings.json), bounded so disks and network
  shares are not saturated. The metadata of new files is cached in one transaction instead of one per file: caching
  500 new files went from 4.9 s to 0.09 s.
• Covers are downloaded after the scan, in parallel. Covers that failed are not retried for a day, and when the
  server cannot be reached the scan stops trying instead of waiting for every cover.
• Pages reuse their results until the library or the settings change. With 5,000 games and 20,000 titles, the
  Library page went from 17 ms to 0.1 ms and the navigation counts from 9 ms to almost nothing.
• Cover thumbnails: cards and lists load 360 px thumbnails, made once and cached on disk (about 20 times smaller),
  and every cover can be cached by the browser. Covers were decoded and encoded again on every request before.
• Startup: the web interface answers right away while the titles database loads in the background, and loading
  it needs about a third of the memory.
• The Issues page has a search and pages, so thousands of issues do not make one huge page.
• Watching the folders no longer keeps or sorts the list of every file.

1.7.0

New features

• Users and roles: create accounts in the new Users page.
  • Without users the app stays open as before. Creating the first administrator requires a login from then on.
  • Administrators can do everything. Read-only users can browse the library and download files; the
    controls that change something are hidden and the server refuses those actions.
  • New login page and a My account page where every user changes their own password.
  • Passwords are stored as bcrypt hashes. Logins last 30 days and end when the password changes.
  • After 10 failed logins an address is blocked for 15 minutes.
  • API clients keep using HTTP basic authentication, now with any user. The administrator set with
    SLM_AUTH_USERNAME / SLM_AUTH_PASSWORD keeps working.
• Tasks page: synchronizations, scans and organize runs, with what started them (you, the schedule, a change in
  the folders...), their live progress, duration and result.
  • Warnings, such as a titles database that could not be downloaded or a notification that could not be sent, and
    errors are shown with their reason.
  • Failed tasks stay until they are dismissed, and the navigation shows how many there are.
  • New API endpoints /api/tasks and /api/tasks/events (server-sent events).

Other changes

• The project now has a license: the changes made in this repository are MIT licensed. The projects this fork is
  based on did not publish a license; see NOTICE.md.

1.6.0

New features

• Automatic scan: games copied to, removed from or replaced in the library folders show up by themselves.
  • Local folders report changes right away.
  • Every folder is also checked every two minutes, which covers network shares and Docker volumes that do not
    report changes, and changes made while the app was stopped.
  • A folder is only scanned once it stopped changing, so files still being copied are not read half written.
  • Can be turned off in Settings.
• Library filters: status filters with counts (all, update available, DLC missing, up to date), a file format
  menu, and a switch between large and small covers that the browser remembers.
• Setup checklist: while the library is empty, the Library page lists the steps to set it up (titles database,
  prod.keys, game folders, scan), shows which are done and links to where each one is done. Folders that cannot be
  read are named.

Improvements

• Titles database downloads:
  • Downloads are written straight to disk instead of being kept in memory, which helps small devices such as a
    Raspberry Pi.
  • Truncated downloads are rejected, and server errors or dropped connections are retried before the next mirror
    is tried.
  • When the database did not change, it is not processed again, so most synchronizations are much faster.

1.5.0

New features

• Redesigned interface: a new look for every page, in light and dark themes.

  • Game cards show the status of each game: update available, missing DLC or up to date.
  • The navigation shows how many updates, DLC and issues are pending.
  • Every page has a header that explains it, and empty pages say what to do next.
  • The game page has a large header with the cover and the key facts.
  • Settings are split into sections with a save bar that is always visible.
  • The Synchronize button spins while a synchronization runs, and its progress floats in a corner instead of moving
    the page.
  • Two columns of games on phones, a skip link, visible keyboard focus and reduced motion when the system asks
    for it.

• Download all: the game page downloads the base game, its updates and DLC as one ZIP archive. Files are stored
  without compressing them again, so large games download at full speed without temporary files.

• Bulk actions: select several missing DLC or games with missing updates and ignore them at once.

• Documented API: /api/openapi.json describes every endpoint, and /api/statistics returns the numbers of the
  Statistics page, e.g. for a Home Assistant REST sensor (example in the README).

Fixes

• Covers of your games come from the local image cache on every page, so they are shown without access to the
  Nintendo servers; covers that cannot be loaded show the placeholder instead of a broken image.

1.4.0

New features

• Statistics page: number of games, updates and DLC, total size, space by content and by file format, games up to
  date, missing updates, DLC and games, issues and the largest games.
• Notifications after every synchronization when an update or a DLC of one of your games becomes available: Discord
  webhook, Telegram bot or a generic JSON webhook (ntfy, Home Assistant, n8n, ...). Only new items are reported; the
  settings page can send a test notification.
• Light theme: choose light, dark or automatic (follows the system) from the menu. Dark stays the default and the
  choice is remembered by the browser.

Fixes

• Docker: the container no longer stops when files inside the data folder are mounted read-only (e.g.
  -v /path/prod.keys:/usr/local/share/switch-library-manager-web/prod.keys:ro); it explains when the data folder is
  not writable by PUID/PGID.
• Adding, removing or updating prod.keys rescans the library on the next start, so games that could not be read
  before appear without a manual synchronization.
• The web interface answers right after start; the initial library scan runs in the background with its progress.
• Running without prod.keys is reported as a warning with a hint where to put the file, instead of an error.
