v4.0.0

4.0.0 (2026-09-06)

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

• media: Fliks no longer deletes the .cache/ directories left in your library folders. Versions before this one cached extracted embedded subtitles in <media folder>/.cache/subs/; that cache now lives in the managed images volume, and nothing reads or writes the copies inside your library any more. They are inert and safe to keep, but no rescan will ever remove them: to reclaim the space, delete them yourself, e.g. find /path/to/library -type d -name .cache -prune -exec rm -rf {} +.
• readme: the volume holding artwork, sprites, extracted subtitles and uploaded avatars is now /app/data (fliks_data) instead of /app/images. Existing installs need no change: FLIKS_IMAGES_DIR still works and a volume mounted at /app/images is detected and kept, logged once at boot. New installs and the example Compose use the new path. To move onto it, copy the volume before removing the old one — the uploaded avatars cannot be re-fetched. Recipe in README > Hosting notes > "The data volume was renamed".
• custom-formats: plugins declaring pluginApi: 0 are no longer loaded. The acquisition contract's want no longer carries minRankExclusive / maxRankInclusive; core reports the window as RANK_NOT_AN_UPGRADE / RANK_ABOVE_CUTOFF instead. Republish at pluginApi: 1.
