Show the sync control only for a read-along EPUB with audio files or another
EPUB copy, so lone read-along EPUBs and plain audiobooks no longer show an
Unavailable card. Fold the card into a pill in the format row whose two-track
meter shows the state, with the details and toggle in a popover. Your Reading
now lists three recent sessions.
Fixes#1845
The PDF reader restored the saved page with a smooth scroll, which Chrome
starts about a second after it is asked. With Fit page, Fit width or
Automatic zoom, the first viewport resize refits the page from the
current offset with an instant scroll, and a classic scrollbar appearing
as the document loads is such a resize. The refit cancelled the restore
before it moved, so the reader stayed on page 1 while the toolbar showed
the saved page, and the next scroll saved page 1 or 2 over the position.
Restore the opening page with an instant scroll, so the refit starts from
the saved page and keeps it. Page turns still scroll smoothly.
Fixes#1857
Count only primary and content files when profiling a book's media, so a
side image, cover or .nfo in an audiobook folder no longer adds it to the
Books group on the series page.
Fixes#1862
First volume, Latest volume and First unread series cards drew their cover
with a cropping img, so a square audiobook cover in a 2:3 grid lost a third
of its width. They now render through BookCoverArtwork like single tiles and
follow the cover display setting, while the grid keeps one tile shape.
Fixes#1863
Give users without stored appearance choices the Nostalgia style and teal accent while preserving saved selections and BookOrbit styling on standalone pages.
Squash of feat/koreader-widget-board. KOReader plugin 2.0.0 gets the widget-board dashboard, redesigned
book details, menus, lists and dialogs, Decor page and reading companions. Highlights, notes and bookmarks
now stay in step across web, Kobo, KOReader and the phones (defects D-00 to D-20, migration 0121), and
reading progress and narration hand off cleanly between devices.
A page load during a server restart read the failed session refresh as
signed out and stranded the reader on /login. Boot now holds the first
navigation behind a reconnect screen and retries until the server
answers, and api() keeps the session when a refresh gets a 5xx or no
connection.
A Kobo asks for each cover at its screen size but always got the
400x600 grid thumbnail, so sleep screens and full-screen covers were
blurry. Scale the full cover to fit the requested box instead, behind a
new Full-size covers setting that is on by default. Drop the stale
UserStorage entries from the authorization matrix gap baseline.
Fixes#924
A replacement byte-identical to the device's copy was never downloaded, so
it stayed offered and every bookmark the device pushed was discarded.
Keep the current delivery instead, and tell the user in the replacement
panel that the device already has this copy.
Ref #1786
When a book's file changed after it was offered to a Kobo, every download
returned 409 because the offer could no longer be rebuilt. A device download
now retires that offer and serves a fresh one from the current file, and the
device bookmark adopts the copy it downloaded. Log the conflict code when a
sync defers a delivery. Also drop a dev-only relocate log from the reader.
Fixes#1816
feat(metadata): extract metadata from file paths with regex rules (#1669)
Let libraries define ordered regex rules that read title, authors, series,
series number and dates from each book's path relative to its library folder.
Run rules in a bounded worker pool, honour source precedence and field locks,
and apply them on scans, uploads and watcher moves. Also retry unprobed M4B
tag writes with the mp4 muxer.
Closes#1351

Clip the hidden genre measuring strip so its full single-line width no
longer widens the scrollable middle column, and let the rating row and
reading activity stats wrap in narrow columns.
Put every auth page on a shared Ex Libris plate with signature-line fields, a show-password toggle and a Caps Lock hint.
Show sign-in messages outside the password form, with Retry, a reset link on lockout and a reset confirmation.
Add language and endpaper pickers (eight repeats) to the auth toolbar, replacing the background and corner controls.
Show the global rule and each library's own rule on Field Rules-style tabs, with live counts per
condition, the score histogram and the books a run would take. Store only what a library changes,
run every library with its own rule, and record each library's run. Also fix the DjVu queue test
that assumed which request waits, and inventory the DjVu reader routes.
Reader › Fonts now uses the Server Fonts ledger, family sheet and upload tray for a reader's own
fonts, and lists the server's fonts with a show/hide switch and a preview sheet. The shared pieces
move to features/settings/fonts and the ledger columns narrow to give the specimen room.
Server: additive GET /fonts/usage and PATCH /fonts/families, upload error codes, and a 409 instead
of a 500 when a reader uploads a second file for the same face.
Changes, Sign-ins, Security and All views replace the filter form. Repeats fold into one row,
sign-ins fold per person, day and network, and rows name their targets; events now snapshot
the target's name so deleted ones keep it. The drawer adds the event's facts, the target's
history, what the same person did around it, and one-click scoping. New additive routes:
/audit-log/summary, /sign-ins and /export; retention is editable from the page.
Each family is a row with its specimen, a weight grid of the styles readers get and how readers
use it; its sheet previews the face on reader pages and inside the reader's own font list. Uploads
answer per file in one tray, removing a family confirms with its cost, and a rename is one request.
Server: additive GET /server-fonts/usage (counts only), PATCH /server-fonts/families, upload error codes.
Show each custom field on one row with its type, libraries and how many
books are filled, and edit, create, archive and delete it in the settings
sheet. Order Edit Metadata and card values by the order set on this page,
and add usageByLibrary to the admin field list, an additive field.
Replace the card grid with medals, a showcase, category shelves, a record book and a
detail sheet. Add GET /achievements/hints, which explains how to unlock what is still
locked from the user's own library and reading history, backed by a new page-count
index. Year-Round Reader now reports its months read as progress.
Remove AppHeader. The sidebar gains a Search row that opens a Cmd+K palette (books, authors,
series, places, settings pages and actions), a utility dock above the footer, and a Reading
group below the lists. Every page opens with a shared PageTitleRow; phones without one get a
slim bar. Settings headers gain a full description, and the top glow defaults to 50% with one
reach and strength for every style. The Appearance panel opens past the sidebar, reorders its
controls and names the current pick, and keeps each pastel accent under its vivid one.
Describe the six entity sections once in useSidebarSections and render them with one v-for in
both the expanded list and the rail, instead of twelve hand-written copies. Move data loading to
useSidebarDataSync, scan and import progress to useSidebarLibraryActivity, and the footer to
SidebarFooterBar. The rendered sidebar is unchanged.
Library, smart scope, collection, authors and series pages share a new
BrowseHeader: the place and its actions on one row, then search, sort,
filters and facets in one bar that folds groups instead of wrapping.
Format chips count from the new POST /libraries/:id/books/facets, built
on the listing's own query; scopes and collections gain filter and sort.
Replace the lattice placeholder with a typesetting engine that measures real glyphs, balances line
breaks and parses series, subtitles and sort-form authors before drawing.
Add a placeholderCoverStyle display preference, Bauhaus by default, with a style switcher and sample
shelf in Book Covers settings. Colours follow the series, author or title, so a cover stays the same
when genres arrive later; only Paperback's bands use genre.
Scanned books are commonly distributed as DjVu, which the scanner only stored as a supplement.
Decode pages on the server with DjVuLibre so DjVu imports with a cover and page count, opens in
the image reader with its embedded OCR text, and can be the preferred format of an ordinary email
recipient. Migration 0113 widens the recipient format check to allow it.
Decoding runs on validated private snapshots behind a bounded, reader-first queue, and
revalidation and cached pages are answered without a decoder. Released iOS builds cannot open
DjVu, so series continuation offers it only to callers sending includeDjvu=true, and the
dashboard and notebook read file never name it. The first full scan after upgrading promotes
stored .djvu supplements to content.
Library access roles had no effect on metadata editing: only the global Edit metadata permission
was checked, so a Viewer could edit every library they could see and an Editor could not be
limited to one library. Require Editor or Owner on the book's library for every metadata write,
including bulk edits, locks, covers, file renames, entity manager changes and author edits, and
hide the matching actions in the web client.
Keep existing access levels when an admin saves a user's library list. The old replace reset every
row to Viewer, which would now silently revoke editing on each user save.
Existing grants are Viewer, so after upgrading, admins must set Editor on each library where a
non-superuser should keep editing metadata. The released iOS app already gates editing on Editor.
Closes#1778
The seed names the icon for Epic Voyager (long_book_3) book-marked,
which lucide ships only as an alias of book-bookmark. The web's icon
map had every other seeded name but not this one, so the badge drew the
HelpCircle fallback. The map now has it, and a test reads the seed and
fails if any seeded icon would fall back.
Fix the server and web gaps found while porting the PDF and comic
readers and offline downloads to Android, checked against the iOS app:
- KOReader: answer a pull for a PDF or comic with the page number when a
BookOrbit client wrote last, instead of a percentage with no page
- comics: key the zip offset, RAR and CB7 caches by file id and
modification time, so pages are not served from stale offsets after a
metadata write-back rewrites the archive
- comics: answer an unreadable archive with 422 rather than a page count
of 0, and extract CB7 with its folders so same-named pages in
different folders no longer overwrite each other
- book files: send an ETag and Last-Modified on serve and download and
honour If-None-Match and If-Range, clamp a range that runs past the
end, answer suffix ranges with 206, and honour Range on download,
which advertised it but sent the whole file
- book files: leave raw file routes uncompressed, so FB2 and unknown
formats keep their Content-Length
- progress: reject a fractional or negative page number with 400 rather
than failing with 500 at the database
- types: declare the comic page-count response shared by the web and
the apps
- web: open a percentage-only PDF position at its estimated page, and
flush pending PDF and comic progress before the reading session ends
Preserve reset-hold notices when recovery requests fail and prevent
stale responses from replacing another book's progress. Refresh holds
after permission changes and rereads, and cover recovery and session
deletion with regression tests.
Ref #1355
Deleting a KOReader session left its page events stored, so the next upload within the
session gap re-derived it. Record the deleted span in koreader_session_tombstones and skip
those events during derivation. Show the reset-hold notice on the Reading Log as well,
since Reset is reachable there and a held device otherwise reads as unexplained progress.
Refs #1355
The Book Dock discarded every upload failure, so a rejected file looked like nothing happened.
List failed files with a translated reason, offer retry where it can help, and stop a failed
token refresh, abort or timeout from stalling the upload queue. Dropped files of unsupported
types are reported instead of ignored.
Refs #1739
A voice or speed change invalidated the playing block's end handler, so the next block was never
requested, and a change during loading left the player loading forever. Hand the playing block over
to the new settings, refetch any block playback was waiting on, and cancel superseded requests in
the client and at the provider. Audio that arrives during a pause no longer resumes playback.
Fixes#1734
Fold six tabs into Recipients, Mail servers, Templates and History, where only problems get
colour and one star sets each default through email_preferences. Replace the send dialog with
a sheet that preselects the default recipient and follows the send. Server additions are
optional fields and routes, so released iOS builds keep working.
Rewrite absolute publisher font sizes (keywords and px/pt lengths) as each EPUB loads so they
follow the reader's root size, falling back to the original value when the reader applies no
styles. Skip fixed-layout books and SVG content, and cover the rewrite and the foliate loader
hook with regression tests.
Fixes#1276
Inset and center hover metadata within the circular portrait so the book count and last-added date remain readable. Add regression coverage for both shapes and metadata states.
Fixes#1413
Keep EPUB loading functional on browsers without Object.groupBy or Map.groupBy.
Replace the native calls with local helpers and cover missing APIs with EPUB 2
and EPUB 3 metadata regression tests.
Closes#1683
Use English Wiktionary's multilingual definitions endpoint to avoid HTTP 501
responses from language-specific hosts. Keep filtering definitions by the
book's language and cover host selection, language aliases, inflection
lookups, URL encoding, and popover retry recovery with regression tests.
Closes#1439
The table rendered a dash in every column of a collapsed series row,
including Authors, although the row already carries the first
volume's authors and the grid and list views show them. Render them
as the same read-only author chips book rows use.
Closes#1645
epubBuilder writes the OPF root as `mlns=` for `xmlns=`. Once a metadata save
bound `opf:` on <package>, foliate matched OPF elements by namespace, found no
spine, and failed with "reading 'children'". Match by namespace only when the
root is in it, and have the writer add the missing default namespace so
rewritten files also open in released iOS builds.
Closes#1680
Paint the glow from a zero-height element in the main inset instead of the full-width shell, so it
centers on the content column and follows the sidebar as it resizes or collapses. The shell's own
background patterns (dots, mesh, aurora and others) were hidden under the old glow and now render.
Create client IDs with createUuid instead of crypto.randomUUID, which
browsers only expose in secure contexts, so Add tier, saved views, table
presets and podcast sessions work on HTTP installs. Lint now rejects raw
randomUUID calls.
Fixes#1722
Add original and text-only EPUB delivery choices across Kobo, KOReader,
OPDS, web downloads and email while keeping source files unchanged.
Persist server defaults, device overrides and captured artifact identities
so retries and guided replacement retain the selected rendition.
Preserve saved progress across first opens, replacement resets and stale
updates, and project annotations against the copy delivered to each device.
Handle XML resource references, large inodes, retry backoff and background
worker state correctly. Consolidate the schema changes into one migration
and retain released-client request and response compatibility.
Verify with the full server and client checks, delivery and sync HTTP suites,
independent code reviews, and live KOReader download/settings/reader proof.

Repeated searches and refreshes asked every provider again, which is slow and runs into provider
rate limits. Keep each provider's answer in Postgres, shared by all users, and reuse it until an
admin-set lifetime runs out. Search screens mark saved results and offer a fresh search, and
explicit refreshes stay live, falling back to a saved answer only when a provider fails.
Empty answers are only kept for API providers that report failures reliably, and a cache-only
request never calls a provider in cooldown. Book Dock's manual refetch stays live-only because
the dock has nowhere to report a fallback. Released iOS builds keep working: every new request
field is optional and newer clients gate it on the metadata-search-cache server feature.
Keep books and comic archives under the existing ebook request kind so searches, ownership checks,
format preferences and release profiles agree without changing the API contract. Cover the combined
formats and library access rules with unit and end-to-end tests.

Share the saved upload limit with validation so changes apply without a page reload.
Seed new installations with a 4096 MB limit while preserving existing values.
Fixes#1733
Give the missing-format action a wand and subtle accent glow to make it
more inviting. Keep its status readable in narrow cards and honor reduced motion.
Add a Style setting beside mode, accent, radius and background. Nostalgia restyles the app through
tokens only (neutral surface palettes, system type, flat shell, top glow) and pins background,
opacity and brightness. Add a top glow reach slider for both styles. Tidy the theme layer first:
charts read live tokens, bare `rounded` follows the radius scale, one shared sign-in toolbar.
Also carries the settings page header redesign.
Lead fetches with the primary file, give Book Dock its library's rules and read-along media,
default audiobook fields to sources that carry them, and flag providers that never fill a field.
Joining a format now fills gaps only and respects locks; a move picks its primary as a scan would.
