Release v0.6.0 · debpalash/Opal

Highlights

Movies and TV work out of the box — default TMDB/OMDb keys ship with the
release, no sign-up before the first search.
Accounts for the headless/web build: register and sign in from the web UI,
with a session-aware bearer gate replacing the old pairing screen.
Web UI parity, tier 2: Comics, Novels, Drama, VNDB, Audiobookshelf, OPDS,
Plex, Music, Radio, Live TV, YouTube, the AI copilot, and the Logs tab.
Headless deployment: Caddy TLS and Tailscale access profiles.
The browser extension is now Opal Connect, with cross-browser builds.
