ani-cli-rs 0.8.0

This release replaces the broken AllAnime/Mkissa integration with a second,
fully native Anikoto provider. ani-cli-rs now ships two independent catalogs
without requiring Python or a separately hosted relay.

Highlights

  • Added Anikoto.cz as --provider anikoto2, including native search, canonical
    show selection, fractional episodes, and strict SUB, H-SUB, and DUB
    availability.
  • Ported the complete Anikoto.cz AJAX workflow to Rust: episode lists, server
    tokens, optional NekoStream mapper candidates, and server URL exchanges.
  • Added native MegaPlay and VidTube extraction through their player data-id
    and stream/getSources responses.
  • Preserved provider referer, origin, user-agent, quality, and subtitle metadata
    throughout playback and downloads.
  • Expanded HLS master playlists into selectable qualities and deduplicated
    native sources.
  • Improved the Rust KotoCDN compatibility relay, including correct MIME
    handling for both GET and HEAD requests to PNG-wrapped MPEG-TS segments.
  • Added provider-prefixed anikoto2: show IDs so scriptable commands and mixed
    history entries route automatically.
  • Added deterministic parser and relay coverage plus an opt-in live
    Anikoto.cz search-to-stream smoke test.

Provider selection

Anikoto API/MegaPlay is now the default:

ani-cli-rs "frieren"
ani-cli-rs --provider anikoto "frieren"

Use Anikoto.cz as the independent alternative:

ani-cli-rs --provider anikoto2 "black torch"
ani-cli-rs -p anikoto2 search --json "black torch"

The environment equivalent is:

ANI_CLI_PROVIDER=anikoto2

Provider searches remain separate, and ani-cli-rs never silently switches
catalogs during source resolution.

Breaking changes

  • allanime is no longer an accepted provider.
  • The AllAnime/Mkissa GraphQL client, rotating crypto bootstrap, response
    decryption, and URL cipher-map implementation have been removed.
  • The debug and refresh-cipher-map commands have been removed because they
    existed exclusively for AllAnime.
  • Old unprefixed AllAnime show IDs and history entries can no longer resolve.
    Search again with either Anikoto provider to create a new self-identifying
    history entry.
  • Library users must migrate from AllAnimeClient to AnikotoClient or
    AnikotoCzClient. AllAnime-specific crypto and cipher-map public types are
    no longer exported.

No Python runtime dependency

The Anikoto.cz implementation is native Rust. KotoCDN playback uses a
short-lived Hyper server bound only to 127.0.0.1 on an ephemeral port. It
rewrites only registered playlist resources, validates upstream URLs, removes
confirmed PNG prefixes, and shuts down with the attached player or downloader.

The copied Python experiment remains a development reference only and is
excluded from release packages.

Documentation

  • docs/ANIKOTO-CZ.md documents the complete
    Anikoto.cz search-to-play workflow.
  • docs/ANIKOTO-KOTOCDN.md remains the reference
    for the Anikoto API, MegaPlay, and KotoCDN path.
  • The README, Wiki, issue forms, contributor guidance, and deterministic
    showcase now describe the Anikoto-only architecture.

Upgrade

Use the built-in updater:

ani-cli-rs update

Or reinstall using the platform installation script. Official Windows and
Linux x86-64 archives should be published with matching SHA-256 checksum files.
