comic-dl v0.0.6

[v0.0.6] - 2026-10-11

Added

• Global egress override for IP-reputation blocks: --proxy flag,
  [http] proxy key, $COMIC_DL_PROXY / $HTTPS_PROXY fallback.
  Proxy credentials are masked in config show and resume hints.
• Per-host image concurrency cap (default 3, [http] per-host-concurrency), so single-node hosts stop absorbing the full
  eight-wide burst.
• Session headers locked to the TLS impersonation profile; gallery
  sessions send page-load fetch metadata, image requests send the image
  set.
• Shell completions with per-flag descriptions, PowerShell support, and
  a tabular logo.
• RichPopup gallery scraper; FSIComics es/de/fr/it language mirrors.
• new-site.py scaffolds new built-in sites; plugin validation names
  the repair for each failure.

Changed

• Site adapter bumps: fsicomics 2.0.0 (mirrors), ehentai 1.0.4,
  imhentai 1.0.2, mangadex 1.0.3.
• Dependencies: platformdirs 4.13.0, cryptography 50.0.2,
  ruff 0.17.0, iniconfig 2.3.1.
• Generic fallback: shape-based series detection, honest chapter
  numbers, and a decline reason naming why a URL was skipped.
• Release packaging runs in CI on PRs: vendored wheels per arch, native
  arm64 builders, distro package cache, uncached clean-container
  validation.
• Verbose output retagged ([context]/[trace]), per-image headers
  folded onto the request line, dry-run URLs redacted.

Fixed

• Challenge solves no longer replay POSTs; the solve still clears the
  way for later requests.
• Per-page fan-outs stay resilient instead of fail-fast (ehentai,
  imhentai); MangaDex at-home assignments fetch fresh.
• Download cooldown keyed per host; rate-limiter slot reserved before
  sleeping; each redirect hop validated exactly once; streamed block
  bodies classified by peek.
• Dry-run index width zero-padded cross-platform.

Security

• Release checksum verification before privileged install.

comic-dl v0.0.5

[v0.0.5] - 2026-10-04

Added

• Stable site_error_code values now surface a fix hint: a central
  per-code hint map fills in whenever a failure carries a code but no
  hand-written hint, so blocked, locked, or moved chapters always print
  the cause plus what to do.
• Interrupt resume hint echoes the real command run (canonical program
  name, prompt-entered URL included).
• Downloaded images are structurally verified; truncated and polyglot
  pages are rejected instead of archived.
• Help screen rebuilt from the parser; self site live-checks test URLs
  for 27 adapters with kind-aware checks.
• Single shared retry path (retry_transient) for scraper-side fetches.
• Hivetoons series roster parses the site's TanStack stream payload.
• Website: llms.txt generation, Explain-with-AI dropdown, namespaced
  tab sets, responsive shell, one-row-per-site tables with live filter.

Changed

• Site adapter bumps: asurascans 1.0.3, tapas 1.0.2, flamecomics 1.0.3,
  ehentai 1.0.3, kagane 1.0.3, hivetoons 1.0.3.
• Dependencies: attest-build-provenance v4.2.2, hatchling >= 1.32.4,
  mypy 2.4.0, ruff 0.16.10, platformdirs 4.12.3, astro 7.3.5,
  @lucide/astro ^1.49.0.
• Arch package renamed to avoid an AUR collision; CI artifact retention
  capped; config starter slimmed.

Fixed

• WAF/challenge misclassification: Asura, Tapas, and FlameComics
  Cloudflare challenges now report SITE_BLOCKED with a solver hint
  instead of a network error; Kagane API 404s report removal instead of
  request failure; Stonescape maps non-404/403 HTTP errors; E-Hentai
  raises on retry exhaustion and API errors.
• site_error_code coverage across the remaining adapters (malformed
  URLs, locked chapters, ValiScans platform).
• Interrupt hint no longer leaks the launcher path; library errors no
  longer leak SQLite driver text.
• Gedecomix test URL repointed to a live chapter; FSIComics series
  scraping restored on the Foxiz theme; self site columns corrected.
• SSRF, content-length, referer, and cookie-permission hardenings; rate
  limiter keyed by hostname; host park lifted on success.

What's Changed

• fix(fsicomics): restore series scraping on Foxiz theme, full summaries by @fallen020 in #47
• fix(self-site): correct check columns, usage errors, status provenance by @fallen020 in #48

Full Changelog: v0.0.4...v0.0.5

comic-dl v0.0.4

[v0.0.4] - 2026-09-27

Added

• Ten new built-in sources — DivaScans, HD Porn Comics, IMHentai,
  KodokuEasyAccess, ManhuaTo, Nyx Scans, Tapas, ToonVerse, ValirScans, and
  Vortex Scans — taking built-in support from 21 to 29 sites.
• First-run legal notice.
• Stable site_error_code failure classification across scrapers, surfaced
  in errors and batch output.
• Per-page download state manifest with a resume-safe retry pass; partial
  chapters tracked separately in batch footers.
• Connectivity probe before blaming the network for failures.
• Library schema v4: one global database with per-row output roots, global
  library commands, and library update --dry-run.
• Leading m. mobile subdomains normalized away before matching.

Changed

• KodokuStudio replaced by KodokuEasyAccess (new domain).
• System-webview solver off by default.
• Archive writes stream to disk instead of buffering whole image sets.
• Website design refreshed; dev guides rewritten as end-to-end processes.

Removed

• ManhwaZ support dropped.

Fixed

• Kagane reports the Cloudflare challenge instead of a network error.
• Batch output honesty: Saved: gated on success, per-page failure reasons,
  chapter/partial accounting; single-URL polish (short chapter titles, one
  completion line).
• Tapas cover/creator/description; Asura Scans full series summary; GenzToons
  listing guard, locked chapters, metadata cleanup; Vortex/Nyx cover,
  synopsis, genres.
• Cookie collision resolution, charset-aware cache decode, cookie-replay
  probing with a JSON cache-poisoning guard; .partial markers restored to
  on-disk page names so reruns skip them.

Security

• Cookie jar encrypted at rest.
• Outbound fetches fail closed on DNS/validation errors; rebinding window
  narrowed.
• 2xx media payloads never treated as antibot challenges; DataDome markers
  tightened.

Full Changelog: v0.0.3...v0.0.4

comic-dl v0.0.3

[v0.0.3] - 2026-09-20

Added

• comic-dl self version and comic-dl self update — detects whether comic-dl
  was installed by apt, dnf, pacman, pip, uv, a source checkout, or a standalone
  binary and updates it through the owning package manager (with --yes,
  sudo-when-needed). Never touches a source checkout or unwritable environment;
  it reports and instructs instead.
• comic-dl self site list / check / update — per-site support versioning:
  every built-in adapter ships with a semantic version and minimum core version,
  checked against the site-support.json manifest attached to each release.
• Eight new built-in sources: HiveToons, GenzToons, Qimanga, StoneScapes,
  EN-ThunderScans, KingOfShojo, ManhwaTop, and LGBTics (taking built-in support
  from 13 to 21 sites).
• Built-in scrapers are auto-discovered from the registry; a broken adapter
  module fails fast instead of silently disappearing from --list-sources.

Changed

• Adapter versioning rules and update flow documented in
  docs/usage/site-support.md; self-update strategies in
  docs/usage/self-update.md.
• Docs and website refreshed for v0.0.3 (SEO/AI discoverability, accessibility,
  brand icons, regenerated supported-sites tables).

Fixed

• self update asset selection and --yes paths race-free and arch-correct on
  Apple Silicon CI runners.
• Update checks no longer mis-report a dev snapshot as "up to date" against the
  published release with the same number.

Full Changelog: v0.0.2...v0.0.3

comic-dl v0.0.2

[v0.0.2] - 2026-09-15

Added

• WeebCentral as a built-in source.
• Bare positional URL shorthand: comic-dl <url> instead of comic-dl -u <url>.
• --chapters flag now accepts canonical chapter numbers (including 0).
• comic-dl plugin list, validate, and scaffold commands for plugin
  management.
• Typo-aware "Did you mean" suggestions when a flag is misspelled.
• Plugin and Madara series URLs routed via matches_series_url.

Fixed

• Cloudflare replay sessions re-use cookies on blocked downloads.
• FlameComics: correct series metadata derivation, deduplication, and chapter
  sort order.
• E-Hentai: URL parsing hardened, throttle recovery improved, size estimates
  use display images.
• Dry-run mode: series previews point at the real series folder path.
• Asura Scans: friendly 404s and CDN host hardening.
• WebTOON: episode number read from data attribute; duplicate helpers removed.
• Diagnostic output sanitized at the error boundary; unified error taxonomy
  across scrapers.
• PyInstaller binary now bundles banner.txt.
• asyncio.as_completed replaced in dry-run overlay to fix hanging tasks.
• Parse errors, summary, and progress styling polished.

Security

• Probe redirects validated before dispatch.
• Cookie jar rejects public-suffix cookies; Secure flag enforced on replay.
• Identity hashes use SHA-256 (replaced MD5).
• Solver URL validated before use.
• Download-path deduplication prevents staging-directory collisions across
  chapters.
