Karasu v1.13.0

Additions

• "Releases" (experimental), next to Recommendations in Browse: the 100 most popular manga, manhwa
  and manhua that started in the last 6 months, from AniList, or from MangaDex when AniList cannot
  be reached. The list is fetched again once a week when the source is opened, or from "Refresh"
  in its menu; nothing runs in the background. Every filter works on the saved list without asking
  the network again: period (1, 3 or 6 months), type, genres, status, "Hide what is in my library",
  and sorting by popularity, release date, score or title, both ascending and descending. Covers
  come straight from where the list came from
• Tapping a release opens a page of its own instead of a manga page, since there are no chapters to
  list until a source has it: cover and banner, every name, synopsis, status, start, chapter and
  volume counts, genres and tags, story and art, score, popularity, related series (sequels,
  prequels, spin-offs) and links, the official platform among them. "Search my sources" runs the
  global search with all of its names, Portuguese ones first, and says so when none of your
  sources has it
• Publication status from MangaDex and MangaUpdates, the two catalogues that actually mark hiatus
  and cancellation: it becomes the entry's status in the library, over AniList, Kitsu and
  MyAnimeList when they disagree, and a status you edited by hand is never overwritten. It is
  checked at the end of a library update, for the entries that update covered, each at most once
  a week and within two minutes per update
• Entries are matched on those catalogues by the ids of the trackers you bound first, then by an
  exact name, the source's Portuguese title included; same-named series are told apart by type
  (manga, manhwa, manhua) and by the year of the chapters, and an ambiguous match applies nothing.
  Their other names and tags join what the trackers and MangaBaka already provided
• Tracker search shows each result's other names under its title, and when the title finds
  nothing it tries up to five other names the entry is known by
• "Keep downloaded ahead" (Settings › Downloads, under "Download new chapters"): new chapters are
  downloaded on their own only up to that many unread chapters past the last one read (2 by
  default; "All chapters" keeps the old behaviour), and the reader tops it up as you finish
  chapters. Downloads you start yourself, from any menu, are never cut

Changes

• "Remove after read" keeps the last N read chapters downloaded and removes every older read
  chapter of the entry, not just one, including those read in earlier sessions; unread chapters
  are never touched. Installs that never changed the setting now keep the last 2 read
• Download ahead delivers in reading order: the next chapters jump to the front of the queue,
  the one being read goes back to the end, and inside a chapter each page's address is looked up
  as its turn comes, so page 1 arrives first
• What the trackers say about publication status now reaches the library status, not only the
  calendar and the stats

Fixes

• The download queue never started again after a download failed while it was stopped
• A failed page address lookup failed the whole chapter; it is retried like the images are
• Two requests for the same chapter at the same moment queued it twice
• Asking the reader for a chapter that was already queued at the back, or had failed, left it
  there; it now moves to the front and is retried
• MangaUpdates' "completely scanlated" was read as the series being finished; its status text is
  read instead ("Suspended" is a hiatus, "Dropped" and "Axed" are cancelled)
• An interrupted recommendations build could freeze an entry's status as if you had edited it
• Cancelling a library update did not stop its status lookups
• The download job started after a library update that had queued nothing
• Releases that were refreshed kept the title, status and genres they were first listed with

Other

• What the trackers and catalogues know about an entry is written one entry at a time, re-read
  before each change, instead of all at the end from a copy taken at the start
