What's Changed

New Features

  • Novel Recommendations — the server now suggests related novels based on what you're reading
  • Machine Translation — full translation service with multiple backends (Bing, Google, Lingva, Baidu) with automatic failover; translates chapter content, chapter titles, and artifacts (EPUB/etc.)
  • Granular translation job types — translation tasks are now split per-resource (chapter, volume, title) instead of one monolithic TRANSLATION job, giving finer progress tracking
  • Referral / invite system — users can invite others via email with a referral link
  • Expanded browser detection — Brave, Vivaldi, Yandex, and Whale are now recognized for app-mode launching alongside Chrome/Edge
  • More supported translation languages

Improvements

  • Browser automation migrated from Selenium to nodriver for more reliable JS-rendered site scraping
  • Switched to a custom caching layer instead of cachetools for better control
  • Announcement banners improved in the web UI
  • Chapter body cleaning improved when downloading
  • User activity tracking added (page visits, static file downloads)
  • Webview fallback now shows just the terminal when no app-mode browser is found
  • Tightened API access control; auth guards now use Security() instead of Depends()
  • Removed initial content when a language is pre-defined
  • Invitation email subject line updated

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed SQLite compatibility issue with migrations (batch_alter_table)
  • Fixed Calibre-based artifact generation when using translations
  • Fixed searching regression
  • Fixed chapter fetch/translate functions not passing user ID correctly
  • Fixed select_descendants typo in security module (#2966)
  • Fixed invalid URL exceptions crashing fetch_chapter and fetch_image
  • Fixed ensure_load crashing when sync thread was already cleaned up
  • Fixed app startup issues

Source Updates

  • wtr-lab.com — multiple fixes and updates
  • novelfire.py — several iterative fixes
  • Chapter title tag removal extended to <h4> elements
  • More sources flagged as rejected/inactive in the index

Internal / Infrastructure

  • lncrawl-web is no longer a git submodule; web build artifacts are bundled directly
  • Removed deprecated fetch-novel API endpoint (replaced by fetch-novels)
  • Python 3.15 excluded from psycopg test matrix (not yet supported upstream)
  • server-compose.yml updated
