Honor Retry-After for Newznab searches and NZB downloads so transient
rate limits do not immediately end automatic fulfillment. Bound retries
and preserve deadlines without restarting the outer retry budget.
Add unit coverage for rate-limit headers, exhaustion, cancellation,
redirects, and suppression of nested retries. Verify automatic grab
recovery with a real HTTP reproduction.
Fixes#1749
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to the new settings, refetch any block playback was waiting on, and cancel superseded requests in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
Probe equally ranked comic runs within the existing search budget to prevent reprints from hiding original issues. Require an unambiguous result for automatic matching while preserving manual selection and saved-ID refreshes.
Add regression coverage for the reported Generation X match, padded issue numbers, competing runs, provider failures, deadlines, and cache isolation.
Fixes#1238
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
Read every EPUB 3 role refinement so authors and narrators survive
regardless of role order, including creators who hold both roles.
Preserve EPUB 2 role precedence and contributor handling, and add
regression coverage for ordering, normalization, and deduplication.
Fixes#1344
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
A cached Hardcover match outranked a corrected Hardcover ID or ISBN, so progress kept going to the
wrong book. Record the identifiers each link came from and re-check it when they change, honour the
metadata edition on a match, and release the old book's read links so they are never reused.
Closes#1488
FFmpeg picks its ipod muxer from the .m4b temp name, and that muxer rejects the
MP3 an Audiobookshelf copy merge leaves inside an MP4. Probe the audio codec and
use the mp4 muxer for anything but AAC, ALAC and AC-3, so other files keep their
iTunes file type. The rename collision log now names the path that collided.
Closes#1593
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
Keep disabled Prowlarr limits from being reapplied through tracker metadata,
cached releases, or stale source rows after a failed synchronization.
Cover policy changes, synchronization, both torrent transports, client defaults,
and the PostgreSQL join with regression tests.
Closes#1625
Nest 12 runs global guards on gateway messages, and the HTTP JWT guard
crashed every subscribe on a missing Authorization header. Skip it for
sockets, which authenticate in handleConnection, and make subscribe
handlers wait for that handshake. Library rooms now require library
access, and a real-socket test runs the app's global guards.
Closes#1743
Audiobookshelf reports a progress row's creation time as its start, while
clients set the finish date freely, so a backfilled finish can predate it.
One such row broke user_book_status's date check and the whole status batch
with it. Keep the finish date and drop the start, and store the database's
reason on a failed run instead of the failed SQL.
Closes#1678
The iOS library filter offers languages as chips and needs the whole list, not a typeahead. A blank
term on /metadata/languages now returns every language value on a visible book, most common first
and capped at 200, under the same library and content-filter scope as the search. Every other
suggestion endpoint still answers a blank term with nothing.
The web client never sends a blank term. Released iOS builds do, when the Smart Shelf language
picker opens, and now see the list there instead of a search prompt. The iOS filter calls this
route too, though nothing in the web client shows it.
Ref bookorbit/bookorbit-ios-support#54
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
The player follows each track's stored sort order, which overlapping
folder scans, Add File, and imports joining a book could leave out of
step with the file names the Files tab shows. Realign a book's tracks
after each of those writes, under the book row lock.
Closes#1681
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.
Book Dock finalize, which also files book requests, left each audio file's
duration empty until the next library scan. The player derives progress only
from those, so a filed audiobook stayed at 0% and never reached Continue
Listening. Finalize now measures them once metadata is applied.
Refs #1757
Keep downloads active after transient tracker failures so later completions
reach the importer. Reserve early failure for explicit rejections and import
completed content even when the tracker still reports an old rejection.
Cover timeout recovery, transient failures, and explicit rejections with unit
tests.
Closes#1607
Map <Genre> to genres and <Tags> to tags instead of using tags as a genre
fallback, which dropped them whenever a Genre was present. Read the
ComicBookInfo genre field so those comics keep their genres.
Fixes#1572
Keep questions and community conversations in GitHub Issues with clear forms and guidance. Remove disabled Discussions links and exempt community topics from stale closure.
Closes#1046
Open the cached dashboard at once from the menu, gesture and Dashboard
button, then ask for a connection once through KOReader's Wi-Fi setting
and refresh in place. With no cache, show the unavailable state and Retry.
Fixes#1741
Descriptions are stored as HTML but the feed sent them escaped under
type="text", so clients that honour the type, such as Foliate, showed the
tags literally. Flatten them with htmlToPlainText, keeping line breaks.
Fixes#1569
Bump every direct dependency to its newest same-major release and move the
node base image to 26.11.1, which invalidates the cached apk layer and picks
up tiff 4.7.2 for CVE-2026-4775. Rebuild all six kepubify binaries from the
pinned upstream commit with Go 1.27.2 for CVE-2026-78667, CVE-2026-78669 and
CVE-2026-97031, keeping v4-dev so rendition hashes stay stable.
Write the tags FFmpeg's iTunes mode drops (subtitle, publisher, language,
series, ASIN) as freeform atoms, and carry over the source file's own
freeform tags such as Audible's. Covered M4B and M4A writes lost them.
Ref #1744
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.
Each save left the previous save's entries behind when a package bound the OPF namespace to a
prefix other than opf, added another title refinement on EPUB 3, and kept Dublin Core written
without the dc prefix beside its replacement. Match elements regardless of prefix and remove the
refinements of whatever is replaced.
Stop both OPF parsers reading untouched text as numbers and re-escaping character references,
which dropped leading zeros from identifiers the writer was meant to leave alone.
Fixes#1706
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.
Make the field rules table one grid with each row as a subgrid, so the
merge and status columns size to the widest control instead of fixed
272px and 116px tracks. The four-option genres control and translated
labels now fit, and the global scope drops the empty status gap.
Link two ordinary requests as companions, filed into one book, with a Both search,
grouped list rows, a tabbed release picker and a book-page request for the missing
format. Retire comic requests, keeping old rows readable. File Book Dock covers by the
field rules with a shape check, and re-pick a moved book's primary by its new library.
Pick the face slot from the primary file's medium instead of the library's
ratio, and send that frame per book on cards, detail, notebook labels and
recommendations. Grids keep uniform tiles, and the library setting becomes
Grid shape.
Keep text and narration bookmarks independent when opening and navigating EPUBs.
Use the narrated section for sentence bookmarks and attribute delayed page moves to narration.
Recover stalled WebKit blob frames with a bounded fallback that preserves XHTML location structure.
Cover restoration, narration attribution, and iframe fallback behavior with regression tests.
Closes#1708
Use separate title and author parameters to match the current upstream search form and restore cover results. Add regression coverage for title-only searches, whitespace trimming, and query encoding.
Use file identities for root-level imports and renames to match scanner
grouping and prevent unrelated books from sharing metadata.
Cover repeated scans, metadata write-back, and stable reading and file
identities with regression tests.
Fixes#1599
Return matching item counts with create and update responses so the sidebar
can display the saved scope count without requiring a page reload.
Reuse the listing count logic and verify visibility and shared sidebar state.
Carry ISBN-10 and ISBN-13 independently from accepted providers through
Auto-fill previews, saves and background refreshes. Preserve existing
identifiers and field locks, validate provider checksums and avoid
combining different editions.
Classify embedded ISBNs correctly and support ISBN-10 fallback in
search, Book Dock confidence and file naming.
Add account-scoped reminders for the metadata fields users care about.
Treat either ISBN as complete, accept a publication year or date, and
skip page-count reminders for audio-only books.
Place reminders after the genre blocklist and allow customization from
the editor without discarding unsaved changes.
Let users inspect missing fields without launching provider searches.
Keep metadata searches manual by default and expose a remembered
opt-in beside Search.
The walker sorted a book's files by file name, so tracks in disc folders that reuse names, such as
CD 1/01.mp3 and CD 2/01.mp3, interleaved in playback, merged chapters, and written track numbers.
Order them by their whole path instead, everywhere a track order is chosen.
A rescan that only reorders a book's existing tracks now moves every audio bookmark and the
listening progress percentage to the same moment of the same track, and rebuilds merged chapters.
Disc folders are never skipped by incremental scans, so existing libraries are fixed by their next
scan.
Also inventory the notebook and dashboard highlights routes in the authorization matrix, and pin the
app locale in two date tests that depended on the machine's locale.
