[RELEASE] v0.2.3

• [NOTE] For the next few months I will be dropping the minimum Patreon sponsorship level for unlocking Unmanic to $1. As the project is growing it is my hope to further spread the costs of maintaining the infrastructure across the users. Remember that Unmanic is a community driven project and you can also unlock supporter features by simply contributing to the Unmanic GitHub (including documentation) or by participating in supporting via Discord. Thank you to everyone who has been contributing to this project. Without you, Unmanic would not be what it is today.

Service

• [NEW] Added ability to configure a library as a remote-only library for receiving remote tasks.
• [NEW] Added the ability for a link to push any missing library configs, including installed plugins, plugin flow and plugin settings, to remote installations.
• [NEW] Updated linking to send only the relative path to a file if the remote library is configured to point to the same directory as the main installation's library. Use this feature to pull new tasks from a SMB or NFS share rather than having Unmanic transfer the file from the main installation to the remote one.
• [IMPR] Reduced the number of times plugin repos are refreshed to check for updates.
• [IMPR] Included the library config in API calls for requesting all libraries.
• [IMPR] Added better logging for any issues found during linking communications.
• [IMPR] Remove checksum validation from post-processing. Checksum generation was slowing down the processes unnecessarily.
• [IMPR] Make checksum validation optional on link task file transfers.
• [IMPR] Sort libraries alphabetically. Libraries are now scanned top-down in alphabetical order. Use the library name to configure the priority order in which a library is scanned.
• [IMPR] Made the number of pre-loaded tasks user configurable rather than calculating it based on the number of available remote workers.
• [IMPR] Improvements to building, starting and stopping Unmanic on Windows.
• [FIX] Removed the --unmanic_path cli option for setting the config directory. Use the HOME_DIR environment variable instead.
• [FIX] Fixed bug where tags would not be saved on new worker group creation.
• [FIX] Fixed bug where a link may not be configurable in the first 10 seconds after first creating it.
• [FIX] Fixed issue where plugin settings were not being set during the import or clone of a library.
• [FIX] Fixed bug where clicking submit on the link settings screen would always enable task pre-loading on each of the links.
• [FIX] Fixed a bug where if the remote pending task list is empty, the main installation would not detect that the task has been deleted.

Plugin executor

• [NEW] Added a the final cache path as a variable handed to post-processor plugins.

Docker

• [NEW] Included NodeJS in build.
• [NEW] Included exiftool in build.
• [NEW] Added libmediainfo0v5.
• [IMPR] Updated Intel dependencies.
• [IMPR] Updated Jellyfin FFmpeg to v4.4.1-4.

Front-end

• [IMPR] Display the library config overview on the library settings screen.
• [IMPR] Display the link config overview on the link settings screen.

[RELEASE] v0.2.2

Service

• [NEW] Introduce worker groups to specify unique schedules and tags for groups of workers.
• [NEW] Introduce new "tagging" feature. Apply tags to libraries and worker to further customise that partnership. Eg. Tag a library with "priority" and keep a matching tagged worker spare for priority tasks.
• [NEW] Add the ability to link with an installation that is behind a proxy (traefik, swag/nginx, etc.) configured with basic authentication.
• [NEW] Add ability to set the maximum number of days that the completed tasks should be kept. If enabled, Unmanic will remove successfully completed tasks after the configured number of days.
• [IMPR] Session reloads with the Unmanic site API are now reduced and persisted between application restarts. Unmanic can operate in a supporter tier without an internet connection for up to seven days.
• [IMPR] All sub-processes executed by workers will now be executed at a lower priority than the main application. This should help improve application responsiveness during times of high CPU load.
• [IMPR] When configured to send tasks to remote installations, Unmanic will now send one transfer at a time, but be available to receive up to two transfers back from that remote installation. This should help to saturate network bandwidth for people with faster networks.
• [IMPR] Remote linking will now poll for updates from a remote installation every 10 seconds (previously 30). This will reduce the delays between a task finishing and the source installation seeing it as available to download.
• [IMPR] Reduce the number of file copies during a task lifcycle by first attempting an atomic movement for the final file movement of the post-processor from the cache directory. If the cache directory and destination directory are on different mounts, Unmanic will fall back to a file copy.
• [IMPR] Carry out post-processor file movements with a '.unmanic.part' suffix added to the end of the file as it is moved.
• [IMPR] Improvements to application logging.
• [IMPR] Improvements to the how application settings are saved to file.
• [FIX] Fix a minor issue with the way that the main service exits when a termination request is given.
• [FIX] Fix for bug in post-processor where, under certain circumstances, if a file movement failed it could cause the post-processor thread to crash.
• [FIX] Fix a bug where removing a library while a task is about to be processed by a worker could crash the main worker foreman thread.

Plugin executor

• [NEW] Add ability to filter the completed tasks list by the date that the task was completed.
• [IMPR] Display more information on the list of configured libraries in settings so we can see at a glance how each library is configured.
• [IMPR] Update all front-end dependencies for improvements, bug-fixes and security patches.

[RELEASE] v0.2.1

Service

• [NEW] Add ability to set a priority score modifier per library. Setting a higher score will cause tasks to be added further up the queue. Use a negative value to drop the task closer to the bottom of the queue.
• [NEW] Added support for executing subprocesses when installed natively on Windows.
• [IMPR] The plugin repo will be reloaded before a library config import attempts to installing plugins.
• [IMPR] Workers now have the ability to execute commands as raw strings if a plugin provides it with a string rather than a list.
• [IMPR] Added checks to ensure a library ID is provided as a number when fetching a plugin's settings.
• [IMPR] Switch the primary Unmanic site API domain to api.unmanic.app.
• [IMPR] Remove '.' (periods) from the generated cache paths.
• [IMPR] Improvements to repo updater functionality.
• [IMPR] Tweaks to SQLite DB migrations during upgrades to allow different types of joining tables.

Plugin executor

• [NEW] Add ability to share common data between file testing plugins. This should speed up library scans as plugins adopt this feature.
• [FIX] Fix issue where worker plugins that requested multiple passes were being given the same input file rather than the output file from the previous pass.
• [FIX] Fix issue where if plugins were configured for the first time from the library, a FileNotFoundError exception would be thrown as the global settings.json file was missing.
• [FIX] Fix issue where during second pass plugin execution, a settings object was being retained for subsequent executions rather than being read fresh every time.

API

• [NEW] Add ability to set a priority score when creating a task via the API in order to modify its place in the task queue.

Front-end

• [NEW] Add form elements for configuring a library's priority score modifier.
