I started this release with the intention of it being small and targeted to rewrite search and make it more expansive, however half way through I realized, I really need the metadata code from the v0.5 release before I can implement my plan, so therefor, this release became a misc update aimed at fixing bugs found with the new influx of users.

This release is also smaller because I split the items going out. There was a large bug in the previous release where during scans, not all cover images would generate. I wanted to get that fix out, so I split most of the other stories (like webtoon polish) into another release (v0.4.9).

Breaking Change: Note that in this release, I have changed where all the config for the application lives. If you are not on docker, you don't need to do anything. Kavita will move your files to config/ directory on first run. If you are a docker user, all you need to do is change your mount point from:

docker run --name kavita -p 5000:5000 \
-v /your/manga/directory:/manga \
-v /kavita/data/directory:/kavita/data \
--restart unless-stopped \
-d kizaing/kavita:latest

to

docker run --name kavita -p 5000:5000 \
-v /your/manga/directory:/manga \
-v /kavita/data/directory:/kavita/config \
--restart unless-stopped \
-d kizaing/kavita:latest

aka data became config. If you forget this step, Kavita will notice and kill the server so you don't loose data.

Added

  • Added: When a series is added to the server, push that updated information to the Recently Added stream, without requiring refresh
  • Added: Recently Added and In Progress streams now have bulk actions operations
  • Added: Let the user click the incognito glasses from within the reader to turn off incognito mode. This is a one time change so they don't have to leave reader, open, and go to page.
  • Added: Added the ability to use bulk selection to add multiple series to a Collection. Using the same interface as reading lists, you can add a new collection or use an existing.
  • Added: Added missing background-image, border-image, list-style-image css property rewrites to the epub reader (common in epub-based comic books)
  • Added: Bulk deletion of series is now possible

Changed

  • Changed: Moved all config (db, logs, cache, appsettings.json, etc) to config/ directory. This is a breaking change for Docker users. You must rebuild your containers following the readme/wiki.
  • Changed: In Progress stream now shows user progress on the cards
  • Changed: When a user is logged out automatically, don't show unauthorized error, just redirect them to login
  • Changed: Do not allow non-admins to change their passwords when authentication is disabled
  • Changed: Removed some verbose debugging statements and moved some debug to information to be more prevalent to logs for default installs.
  • Changed: Reduced some error logging when an image is a cover image, we intentionally skip, so we should intentionally not log an error
  • Changed: When the DB fails to save, log out all the series the user should look into for constraint issues and push a message to the admins connected to site. This has a side effect that we will allow the rest of the chunks to process even if one fails.
  • Changed: Stat upload will now schedule itself between midnight and 6am in server time for upload
  • Changed: Epubs with only absolute positioned content (common in comics) will now suppress the bottom action bar
  • Changed: Changed how we calculate if bottom action bar is needed in the epub reader to be more reliable with absolute positioned images (comic epubs)
  • Changed: Last Active field will now be updated for a user when they open an instance of Kavita in which they are already authenticated giving a better understanding to admins on when a user was last active on their server.

Fixed

  • Fixed: Remove base url messages from screens as this feature was cut last release and shouldn't show
  • Fixed: Register user screen had white text color on a whitish text box. Colors have now been fixed across the app.
  • Fixed: Fixed an issue where inputs on the registration page were not black
  • Fixed: Fixed some resizing when typing a password and having a large amount of users with authentication off on login page
  • Fixed: Don't inform the user about authentication messages when they don't touch that control on server settings page
  • Fixed: Typeahead (collection input) now has same height as other input boxes
  • Fixed: Fixed a missing css escape for 'import url()' syntax in css files for the Book Reader
  • Fixed: Fixed a bug where backups directory wasn't mounted for docker users
  • Fixed: Fixed a critical bug which caused some series to be skipped during a library scan.
  • Fixed: Fixed a bug where searching on localized name would fail to show on the search.
  • Fixed: Fixed a bug where extra spaces would cause the search results not to show properly.
  • Fixed: Fixed a regression where specials with keywords like "oneshot" wouldn't actually become a special of the series. This was due to not falling back to parsing series from folder name and just taking filename series.
  • Fixed: Fixed a missed parsing case where comic special parsing wasn't being called on comic libraries
  • Fixed: Fixed an issue where the dropdown on the admin server page would not work on Safari or other iOS browsers.
  • Fixed: Fixed an issue when css escaping epub files, where imports would sometimes fail to rewrite url paths due to other naming convention
  • Fixed: Fixed parsing issues resulting in broken pages due to unique situations like imported css files with no content, different comment formats than expected in CSS files, etc.
  • Fixed: Removed an empty File for when covers/ had nothing in it.
  • Fixed: Fixed an issue where docker users were not properly backing up the database.
  • Fixed: Fixed a bug in the scanner where we fall back to parsing from folders for poorly named files. The code was exiting early if a chapter or volume could be parsed out.
  • Fixed: Fixed a case where cover image selection preferred nested folders vs files in root directory for archives. This results in improved cover image selection.
  • Fixed: Ignore Hidden and System folders when doing a library scan
  • Fixed: Accept all forwarded headers to fix an issue where some epubs could have nested requests on HTTP, when user is using HTTPS reverse proxy, thus causing images or fonts to fail to load.
