Add GET and PUT /reading-progress and DELETE /reading-progress/:fileId: positions grouped by
kind, up to 25 files saved in one request, and an optional editedAt so the server keeps the newer
of two saves. Move the web reader and book page to them, and list reading-progress in
SERVER_FEATURES for the iOS and Android apps, which adopt the routes in the same release.
Add a History page listing every read newest first, rereads included, as a
virtualized ledger or month cover walls, with period totals, per-read ratings,
export and a share image. Deleting a book keeps its finished reads under a
title and author snapshot (migration 0128).
Closes#1630
Add a Chapters tab to edit chapter timing and titles, look chapters up on Audible or in the ebook,
snap starts to pauses, keep a version history and write chapters into M4B, M4A and MP3 files. Add a
chapter health tool with a bulk Audible lookup queue. Editing needs Editor access to the book's
library. Chapter edits keep released iOS playback working by accepting a stale manifest revision
while the track layout is unchanged.
Ref #1120
Stack the hero bar when one row would leave the title under 12rem,
measured from the stats and actions rather than a fixed container
breakpoint, and let the folder crumb truncate once its ancestors are
spent instead of painting over the stats.
Resolve book languages stated as names ("English") to a code, so the
dialog and the server's fallback stop calling English unsupported. The
dialog groups the ebook and audiobook in a Sources card, shows
Highlighting without the Advanced disclosure, and saves a per-user
default under /user-preferences/read-aloud for books it cannot match.
Show one notice above the release picker naming the client, with a
Try again that resends the same release, instead of a chip on every
row. Grab failures carry the client name in errorMeta, and transport
errors read "connection refused" rather than "fetch failed".
Generate a synced read-aloud EPUB from a book's EPUB and audiobook through an
optional STAlign worker (Docker on CPU, or native with MLX on Apple Silicon),
with review, re-sync, replace in place, restart recovery and live progress on
the Files tab. Book details also stack the ebook and audiobook covers when
both exist. See docs/READ_ALOUD.md.
ISBNs copied from Amazon carry hyphens, and copied ASINs often start with a zero-width space.
The edit tab cut a hyphenated ISBN at its maxlength, Book Dock sent it on for the server to
reject, and an invisible character left an ID that looked right but never matched.
Clean ISBN, ASIN and provider id input as it is typed or pasted, and apply the same shared
rule in the book metadata and Book Dock DTOs so every client, including released iOS builds,
gets it. Provider ids keep their punctuation because Google ids and slugs use it, and an
over-long value is kept whole so validation still names the field.
Closes#1624
Allow users to build bounded historical windows without hard-coded calendar dates. Keep the API additive and advertise support for independently released clients.
Closes#1751
Let users edit author facts, choose and pin a provider record, and keep later refreshes tied to that record. Preserve compatibility for older clients through additive API fields and a discoverable server feature.
Keep server typechecking deterministic by breaking circular Drizzle inference and correcting the nullability mismatches it previously hid.
Closes#1464
Allow request searches to browse broader provider result sets, rerun queries by exact author, and submit unmatched titles for approval. Advertise the optional limit so older clients retain their existing contract.
Closes#1363
Add a per-login setting, on by default, that leaves books whose content files are all audio out
of the plugin catalog, its counts and bulk downloads, and drops a library holding nothing else.
The plugin detail page also names the first file the device can open as the main file.
Closes#1345
Torznab and Newznab read the feed's details page, plugins may send infoUrl, and the
search drops any link that could carry a credential. A grab can ask to be held for
review whatever its score, and the held review shows the file's own edition facts,
its cover and the release page. Torznab guids are now digested like Newznab's.
Refs #1438
Add a Customize sidebar mode, opened from any section menu or Cmd+K, that hides rows and groups
and reorders them by drag or keyboard, with reset and undo. The layout saves to a new
sidebarLayout setting; a hidden Book Dock or Requests row returns while work is waiting.
Also line up the Rows shown menu labels, which sat 3px apart.
Closes#1434
Creating a recipient never makes it the default, so a single-Kindle setup
opened the send sheet with nobody ticked and Send disabled. Tick the lone
recipient in that case; a starred default still wins.
Ref #1443
Asking for a book's missing format sends no cover, so the request list, drawer and release
picker drew a blank placeholder. Fall back to the cover of the book the request joins or
became, in the requested format's slot when it has one. The request's own art still wins.
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.
