v0.4.7 Release

[majora2007]

v0.4.7 is here with a large rework on how Kavita handles comics. Working with our community and some heavy comic rack users, we went to work building out the most common naming conventions. From testing for release, nearly all comics out of the box were matching correctly.

In addition, as is custom, quite a few other features made it into the release as well. The most important is a complete rewrite in how Kavita performs database updates in the Scan Loop. As mentioned in the last release, the performance improvements for memory was split into two parts, this release sees the completion of the second part. Kavita now breaks up work into smaller chunks and processes them. In addition, more pages will respond to updates from the Server, rather than making you refresh.

To wrap up, I want to highlight a few enhancements made that I think deserve a shout-out. First, we have support for half-volumes, a feathub request. Now you can have Volume 1.5 and Kavita will properly recognize and order it. Second, the book reader got some extra love and the resume feature that restores your last scroll position is now accurate to the line. Lastly, another feathub request has been implemented which is the ability to disable authentication for Kavita. You can disable the need to have passwords on your account for non-admins and login directly with your account.

Next up is an overhaul to the Search code to make it more flexible and cleanup a few bugs. Next release will be the last bite sized release before the first pass of metadata support.
