⚠️ This release drops support for Android 6/7. As of 1.8.0, TachiyomiJ2K is only available for Android 8.0+, since extensions have raised their own minimum target as well.
Major Features
- Support for
tachiyomix1.6 extensions and the new extension index format (index.pb) (@AntsyLich) - Material 3 Expressive design overhaul across the app
- Option for vertical chapter progress for the reader, with adjustable placement and height (@AntsyLich])
- Automatically trust other extensions that share the same signature/store
- Reworked library search to use an AST-based query parser, with support for AND (
&&)/OR (||)/NOT (-) operators, nested expressions with(), comparison filtering (dates, chapter counts, etc.), and field-specific prefixes, with UI to build these search filters (@NGB-Was-Taken]) - App now targets Android 17
- As mentioned above, the minimum supported version is now Android 8, there is nothing in place for those on Android 6 or 7 anymore. This follows extensions raising their own minimum target, so there wasn't much reason to keep supporting them here either. I recommend upgrading your device if you have not yet, as Android 8 will be soon to go too.

Reader
- Many fixes/improvements to the reader when not using fullscreen mode and in split screen
- Removed the 32-bit color option, it's now always on

Extensions & Sources

- Fixed source migration toolbar disappearing when searching manually then returning
