TachiyomiJ2K v1.8.0 (Warning: Funny numbers ahead)

⚠️ This release drops support for Android 6/7. As of 1.8.0, TachiyomiJ2K is only available for Android 8.0+, since extensions have raised their own minimum target as well.

Major Features

• Support for tachiyomix 1.6 extensions and the new extension index format (index.pb) (@AntsyLich)
• Material 3 Expressive design overhaul across the app
• Option for vertical chapter progress for the reader, with adjustable placement and height (@AntsyLich])
• Automatically trust other extensions that share the same signature/store
• Reworked library search to use an AST-based query parser, with support for AND (&&)/OR (||)/NOT (-) operators, nested expressions with (), comparison filtering (dates, chapter counts, etc.), and field-specific prefixes, with UI to build these search filters (@NGB-Was-Taken])
• App now targets Android 17
• As mentioned above, the minimum supported version is now Android 8, there is nothing in place for those on Android 6 or 7 anymore. This follows extensions raising their own minimum target, so there wasn't much reason to keep supporting them here either. I recommend upgrading your device if you have not yet, as Android 8 will be soon to go too.

Other Additions & Changes

• Added markdown support for manga detail description, so some sources should have links and better formatting
• Added a new Tokyo Night theme (@xMohnad)
• Added MangaBaka and Hikka tracker support (@MajorTanya and @Lorgon))
• Improvements to larger tablet navigation of recents
• Option to zoom into full covers on the details page
• Option to select all tags/chips in manga details, then search library or the source with them
• Option to privately track your library, if the tracker supports it (@NarwhalHorns)
• Option to copy a manga cover, or a paste a new one from your clipboard in the details page
• Can now open a source's settings from that sources browse screen
• Extension repos renamed to "extension stores"; "Obsolete" extensions renamed to "Orphaned"
• Limited the number of extra chapters shown in Updates sections from 20 to 10
• Added option to open app settings from system settings
• Dynamic (Material You) theme can now take advantage of color contrasting on Android 14+ devices
• Widgets now preview your entries in the widget picker (android 15+ only)
• High contrast text mode users should be able to tell if a chapter is reader more easily now

Reader

• Many fixes/improvements to the reader when not using fullscreen mode and in split screen
• Removed the 32-bit color option, it's now always on
• Fixed a crash on Android 8 that could occur sometimes when opening the reader

Extensions & Sources

• Combined API call for manga details + library updates using 1.6 extension methods, which should lead to faster updates
• Fixed source migration toolbar disappearing when searching manually then returning
• Fixed a crash with some extensions when updating a url preference
• Fixes to auto updating extensions: stop marking failed updates as successful (it'll notify again instead), and Update All now opens the extension sheet directly since newer Android targets block install prompts from running in the background

Bug Fixes

• Fixed HEIF images not loading
• Fixed downloading a partially read chapter from recents
• Logic fixes to recents lists
• Fixes to Widget resizing and loading
• Spoof or remove the X-Requested-With header in the webview for better site compatibility
• Fixed add-to-library menu popup being able to be opened and acted upon while the categories sheet is open, so you shouldn't accidently remove an entry while changing categories
• Updated the default WebView user agent to Chrome 149
• Improved WebView spoofing by sending Sec-CH-UA client hints that match the user agent (@AntsyLich)
• Android 8.0 (not 8.1) devices should now have a dark tinted navigation buttons as well
• Always use the light status bar icons on bottom sheets
• General/various app fixes too many to count

Build/Dependencies

• minSDK raised to 26 (drops Android 6.0 and 7.x support, since extensions have raised their own minimum target as well), targetSDK raised to 37, 16 KB page size support
• Updated Gradle to 9.3.1 (with help from @az4521)
• Kotlin/AGP/Gradle updates (#1872)
• Removed Brotli decompression support from an OkHttp interceptor

Other

• Updated dead Tachiyomi links to Mihon
• Updated BangumiModels.kt (#1833)
• Weblate translation updates (#1733) (More on weblate coming soon)
• Prioritize extension classpath over app classpath, fixing conflicts between extension and app dependencies
• Under the hood, theme coloring across the app was reworked (fixing colors leaking Material3 baseline defaults, adjusted light/dark palettes and contrast throughout)

This was an update 2 and half years in the making, thanks for holding strong everyone
