GoAnime Release Notes - Version 1.8.5

Release date: 2026-05-20

Highlights

  • Go 1.26.3 Toolchain: Project upgraded to Go 1.26.3. Updated all dependencies to latest compatible versions, including enetx/surf and quic-go.
  • SuperFlix Host Migration: SuperFlix references updated from superflixapi.online to superflixapi.best. The previous .online host began returning 5xx errors; .best is now the canonical endpoint.
  • SFlix Source Removed: SFlix integration deleted entirely (previously disabled). Dead provider code and associated tests purged.
  • Media Manager & Scraper Restructure: Internal media manager and scraper layout refactored for cleaner provider separation. Public API preserved (no breaking changes).
  • Major Test Coverage Push: Phases 1–14 implemented; coverage raised to 52.8%. Phases 15–17 still in progress, targeting the remaining 165 functions at 0% across api, util, playback, handlers, discord, upscaler, updater, scraper, providers, downloader, and SDK.
  • Windows CI Stability: Interactive fuzzy-finder tests now skip in CI environments without TTY. Resolves persistent 10-minute deadlocks on windows-latest runners caused by tcell winTty.getConsoleInput syscall blocking.

Features

  • Upgrade Go toolchain to 1.26.3; bump module dependencies project-wide.
  • Update enetx/surf and quic-go to latest releases.
  • Add comprehensive unit tests for scraper provider lookup, episode resolution, and upscaler pipeline (internal/scraper, internal/upscaler).
  • Add player functionality tests: streaming flow, progress aggregation across episodes, error-path coverage (internal/player).
  • Add unit tests for movie/provider entry points and media-type routing (internal/scraper/providers).
  • Add Discord manager and handler tests: presence updates, rich-presence formatting, lifecycle (internal/discord).
  • Implement Phases 11–14 of the test plan: every targeted exported and unexported function in those phases now has a dedicated test.
  • Phases 15–17 in progress: tests being added for api + util, then playback + handlers + discord + upscaler + updater, then scraper + providers + downloader + SDK.

Bug Fixes

  • Critical: Update SuperFlix host references from superflixapi.online to superflixapi.best. The .online host began failing; .best is the new canonical endpoint. Applied across scraper code, tests, and fixtures.
  • Fix Windows CI deadlock in TestHandleUpscaleFromMenu_DoesNotPanic, TestAskForDownload_ReturnsValidMarker, TestAskForPlayOffline_DoesNotPanic, and sibling interactive tests: each guard with if os.Getenv("CI") != "" { t.Skip("Skipping interactive fuzzy-finder test in CI (no TTY available)") }. Root cause: tcell winTty.getConsoleInput syscall blocks indefinitely without a console, hitting the 10-minute package timeout.
  • Fix TestSanitizeMediaTarget/plain_path_cleaned on Windows: wrap expected path in filepath.FromSlash(...) so OS-native separators match filepath.Clean output.
  • Fix global progress tracker cleanup order in CI to prevent intermittent races between teardown and lingering goroutines.

Improvements

  • Remove SFlix scraper, provider registration, and all associated tests. Dead code purged.
  • Refactor media manager and scraper directory layout: cleaner separation of provider concerns; internal types reorganized without changing the public surface.
  • Tighten interactive-test contract: tests that invoke tui.Find now check os.Getenv("CI") and skip when no TTY is attached, instead of relying on host-OS error behavior.
  • Update go.mod/go.sum for upgraded toolchain and dependency bumps (enetx/surf, quic-go, transitive updates).
  • Phases 1–14 implemented; Phases 15–17 underway, targeting the remaining 165 functions at 0%.
