# Develop Changelog ## 2026-04-15 (1) - Reader: font size control in reading settings - New "Font size" slider (80–150%, default 105%) in the settings drawer, between "Content width" and "Text colour" - Applies via CSS custom property `--reader-font-size` on `#chapter-content` - Persisted per-device in `localStorage` as `reader-font-size` — iPad and desktop each remember their own preference ## 2026-04-13 (1) - Edit metadata: comma-separated tag input fix - `PillInput._add` in `book.js` now splits the incoming value on commas before adding — each trimmed, non-empty, non-duplicate part is pushed individually - Applies to genres, subgenres and plain tags; pasting e.g. `Fiction, Thriller, Adventure` adds 3 separate pills instead of 1 --- *Released as v0.1.11 on 2026-04-13* ## 2026-04-12 (2) - Series navigation in the reader - New `GET /api/series-nav/{filename}` endpoint: returns `{prev, next}` with `{filename, title, index, suffix}` for adjacent books in the same series, ordered by `series_index ASC, series_suffix ASC`; returns `{prev: null, next: null}` for books without a series - Reader header now shows prev/next series buttons (skip-to-start/skip-to-end icons); hidden for books without a series, visible once `loadSeriesNav()` resolves - Hovering a series button shows a tooltip: `# ` (e.g. `#4 Batman: Year One`) - `markRead()` in the reader redirects to `/library/read/{next.filename}` when a next volume exists, so reading continues without leaving the reader; falls back to the book detail page when the series is complete or the book has no series ## 2026-04-12 (1) - Comics: series_volume support for annual series (issue numbers restart each year) - New `series_volume VARCHAR(20)` column on `library` (migration `migrate_series_volume`); default `''` - Stored in EPUB OPF as `<meta name="novela:series_volume" content="…"/>`; read back by `scan_epub` - `upsert_book` inserts/preserves `series_volume` with the same COALESCE strategy as `series_suffix` - `list_library_json` ORDER BY now: `publisher → author → series → series_volume → series_index → title` - `PATCH /library/book/{filename}` reads `series_volume` from request body; persists to DB and OPF for both file-based and DB-stored books - Book detail page: displays `(year)` after series name when `series_volume` is set (e.g. `Donald Duck (1982) [15]`); edit panel has a new "Year/Volume" input field - `book.js`: "Auto" button next to the Title field generates `Series (Year/Vol) #Number` from the current series fields - Bulk importer: `series_volume` support - New `%series_volume%` placeholder token (orange) for filename pattern parsing - New "Year/Vol." shared metadata field (applies to all files; overridden by per-row value or pattern) - Preview table has a new "Yr/Vol" column - New "Auto-generate titles from series info" checkbox: when enabled, rows without a parsed title get title `Series (Year/Vol) #Number` - Skip checkbox now always visible for every row (previously only shown when duplicates were detected); any file can be manually excluded before import; skipped rows are dimmed; stats bar shows "X skipped" - `POST /api/bulk-check-duplicates` extended: now also checks `(series, series_index, author)` as fallback — detects duplicates even when the title format has changed; items must include `series` field - Library front-end: sorting within a series now respects `series_volume` before `series_index` - `groupBySeries`, `renderAuthorDetail`, `renderPublisherDetail` all sort by `series_volume → series_index → series_suffix` - `getSeriesSlots` refactored: when any book in the series has `series_volume` set, gap-detection runs per volume (year) independently — prevents `#5 (1982)` and `#5 (1983)` from colliding in the same slot - Slot index label shows `(year) #index` for annual series (e.g. `(1982) #5`); unchanged for regular series --- *Released as v0.1.10 on 2026-04-12* ## 2026-04-08 (13) - Library: archive series in one action - "Archive series" / "Unarchive series" button in the series detail view (`#series/{name}`) - New endpoint `POST /library/archive-series` — sets `archived` for all books in the series via a single SQL UPDATE; body: `{"series": "…", "archive": true|false}`; returns `{ok, archived, count}` - Button label reflects current state: "Archive series" when any book is active, "Unarchive series" when all are archived - After the call, `allBooks` is updated in place and sidebar counters are recalculated without a full page reload ## 2026-04-08 (12) - TedLouisScraper: title extraction fix - `<h2 class="story-page-title">` also contains a "Back" button (`<a class="btn">`) and the author byline (`<span class="story-author-by-line">`) - Fix: only direct `NavigableString` children of the h2 are used as the title, so link and span text is skipped ## 2026-04-08 (11) - New scraper: `TedLouisScraper` (`scrapers/tedlouis.py`) for `tedlouis.com` - Matches all `tedlouis.com` URLs; no login required - Entry point is the story index page (e.g. `?t=CWYSqpOryu2rQmT1`); raises an error when a chapter URL is used as entry point - Title from direct text nodes of `<h2 class="story-page-title">` - Author from `<span class="story-author-by-line"> <a>` - Status from `<span class="story-status-text">` (strips "Status: " prefix) - Updated date from `<span class="story-last-updated">` → `YYYY-MM-DD` - Chapters from all `<ul class="story-index-list">` elements (three columns); relative `?t=TOKEN` links resolved to absolute URLs - `fetch_chapter()`: content from `<div id="chapter">`; removes story title, chapter title and copyright blocks ## 2026-04-08 (10) - Settings: break image upload added - New "Break image" card on the settings page: upload a PNG/JPG/WebP as the scene break image - Stored in the imagestore (sha256-addressed) and overwrites `static/break.png` so EPUB export uses the same image - `app_settings` extended with `break_image_sha256` and `break_image_ext` columns (migration `migrate_app_settings_break_image`) - New endpoints: `POST /api/app-settings/break-image`; `GET /api/app-settings` now also returns `break_image_url` - Preview of the current break image visible on the settings page ## 2026-04-08 (9) - Grabber: break image fix for DB-stored books - Break images (`<center><img src="../Images/break.png">`) contain a relative EPUB path that does not exist in the DB context - Fix: `storage_mode` determined earlier in `_run_scrape`; for DB mode `/static/break.png` is passed as `break_img_path` to `element_to_xhtml`, for EPUB mode `../Images/break.png` is kept - Additional fix: when a break image is detected in the image loop, the parent (`<center>`) is replaced with `<hr>` instead of decomposing the `<img>`; this allows `element_to_xhtml` to correctly detect the break after the image loop ## 2026-04-08 (8) - New scraper: `IomfatsScraper` (`scrapers/iomfats.py`) for `iomfats.org` - Matches all `iomfats.org` URLs; no login required - Entry point is a chapter URL (e.g. `.../grasshopper/justhitsend-part1/justhitsend01.html`); automatically navigates to the author page to fetch all metadata and chapters - Author page as entry point: raises a user-visible error message - Detects two structures on the author page: - Single story: outer `<h3>` = book title; chapters directly in `<ul>` - Multi-part series: outer `<h3>` = series name; nested `<li><h3>` = book title per part; chapters in sub-`<ul>` - Series index from folder name: `*-part{N}` or `*-{N}` → `series_index_hint` - Publication status from `<p><small>[...]</small></p>` after book title - `fetch_chapter()`: content via `<div id="content">`; removes `<h2>`/`<h3>` headings, chapternav divs, footer elements ## 2026-04-08 (7) - New scraper: `CodeysWorldScraper` (`scrapers/codeysworld.py`) for `codeysworld.org` - Matches all `codeysworld.org` URLs; no login required - Title from `<h1>`; author from `<h2>` ("by …"); fallback to URL slug (`/{author}/{category}/filename`) - Category from URL path → tag (e.g. "Remembrances") - Single-file stories (no chapter links): the page itself is the only chapter - Multi-chapter: links to `.htm`/`.html` files in the same directory (audio/image links skipped) - `fetch_chapter()`: removes all `<h1>`/`<h2>` headings, navigation links ("Back to …"), audio links (`.mp3`), mailto links - Nifty scraper: category/subcategory moved from `genres`/`subgenres` to `tags` ## 2026-04-08 (6) - NiftyNewScraper: chapter extraction made more robust - `fetch_chapter()` now first tries the standard chapter HTML (`{url}`) and reads `<article><p>` directly - Fallback added for Next payloads with escaped paragraphs (`\u003cp...\u003c/p`) via `_extract_escaped_html_paragraphs()` - Last fallback remains `?_rsc=1`: first `_parse_rsc_paragraphs()`, then escaped-paragraph fallback again - Nifty (classic + new): standard boilerplate no longer visible in reader, but preserved in chapter - Lead/tail detection added for common blocks (e.g. `NOTICE This is a work of fiction…`, `If you enjoy this story…`, donate text) - Detected intro/closing boilerplate removed from visible paragraphs - Removed text stored as invisible HTML comment: - `<!-- NIFTY_HIDDEN_LEAD: ... -->` - `<!-- NIFTY_HIDDEN_TAIL: ... -->` - Detection also works when text contains inline HTML (e.g. `<a>` or `<svg>` in donate links) ## 2026-04-08 (5) - NiftyNewScraper: chapter content fix - `new.nifty.org` uses Next.js RSC — chapter content is not present in the static HTML but in the RSC payload (React component tree) - `fetch_chapter()` now fetches `{url}?_rsc=1` instead of the regular HTML page - RSC parser added: `_parse_rsc_paragraphs()`, `_rsc_find_paragraphs()`, `_rsc_text()` — parse the RSC stream line by line (format: `{hex_id}:{json}`), recursively search for `["$","p",null,{...}]` nodes and extract text from `children` ## 2026-04-08 (4) - NiftyNewScraper added (`scrapers/nifty_new.py`) for `new.nifty.org` - Matches all `new.nifty.org` URLs; no login required - `_to_index_url()`: strips trailing `/N` (chapter number) so both index and chapter URLs can be used as entry point - `fetch_book_info()`: title from `<h1>`, author from `<strong itemprop="name">` in author link, dates from `<time itemprop="datePublished/dateModified">`, tags from all `<ul aria-label="Tags">` containers (category links and generated tags, deduplicated), description from `<meta name="description">`, chapter list via `<a>` links matching `/stories/{slug}/N` (RSC stream regex as fallback) - `fetch_chapter()`: title from JSON-LD `@type: "Chapter"`, content from `<article>`; no email header stripping, no line joining, no boilerplate detection - `NiftyScraper.matches()` updated: excludes `new.nifty.org` (`"nifty.org" in url and "new.nifty.org" not in url`) - `NiftyNewScraper` registered before `NiftyScraper` in `scrapers/__init__.py` ## 2026-04-08 (3) - Settings: develop mode added - New `app_settings` table (single row, `id = 1`) with `develop_mode` boolean; created via `migrate_create_app_settings()` - `shared_templates.py`: shared `Jinja2Templates` instance for all routers; `develop_mode()` registered as Jinja2 global so all templates can access it without explicit context injection - All 11 routers now import `templates` from `shared_templates` instead of each creating their own instance - New endpoints in `routers/settings.py`: `GET /api/app-settings` and `PATCH /api/app-settings` - Diagonal **DEVELOP** banner in the top-left of every page (CSS in `static/sidebar.css`, HTML in `templates/_sidebar.html`); only visible when develop mode is enabled - All 17 HTML templates: `<title>` shows **Novela Develop — …** when develop mode is active - Settings page: new card with checkbox toggle; page reloads after saving so banner and title apply immediately ## 2026-04-08 (2) - Nifty scraper: fix `_strip_email_headers` now tolerates blank lines between header fields - Some Nifty pages place `Subject:` after a blank line (`Date:\nFrom:\n\nSubject:\n`) — the previous implementation stopped at the first blank line causing `Subject:` to appear as a paragraph in chapter text - Fix: on a blank line, look ahead to check whether a header field still follows; if so, skip the blank line(s) and continue stripping ## 2026-04-08 (1) - Nifty scraper added (`scrapers/nifty.py`) - Matches all `nifty.org` URLs; no login required - `fetch_book_info`: accepts index or chapter URL; normalises to index; title from URL slug, author and publication date from email headers of chapter 1, `updated_date` from email headers of the last chapter; genres/subgenres from URL path (`/nifty/{category}/{subcategory}/…`) - Boilerplate detection: compares first paragraphs of chapters 1 and 2 after header stripping; matching paragraphs are skipped in all chapters (`preamble_count` per chapter dict) - `fetch_chapter`: retrieves `<pre>` content (fallback: body); subject header stored as invisible HTML comment `<!-- Subject: … -->` at the top of chapter content; email headers stripped; hard line breaks within paragraphs joined into a single line; scene breaks (`***`, `---`, etc.) → `<hr/>` - Date parsing via `email.utils.parsedate` → `YYYY-MM-DD` - `xhtml.py`: `element_to_xhtml` now handles `bs4.Comment` objects as XML comments (`<!-- … -->`); `--` in the body is sanitised to `- -` (illegal in XML comments) ## 2026-04-06 (3) - Book detail: rating moved from clickable stars to dropdown in the Edit metadata panel - Stars on the detail page are now purely visual (no longer clickable) - New `<select id="ed-rating">` field in the edit panel, directly below Status - `openEdit()` populates the select with the current rating; `saveEdit()` calls `POST /library/rating/…` if the value has changed - `rateBook()` function removed from `book.js` - Overview pages unchanged ## 2026-04-06 (2) - Library: cover upload now also supported for DB-stored books - `POST /library/cover/{filename}` previously returned an error for DB books (`"File not found"`) because no physical file exists - Fix: DB books are now detected via `is_db_filename`; cover is stored directly in `library_cover_cache` and `has_cover = TRUE` set in the `library` table — `add_cover_to_epub` is not called ## 2026-04-06 (1) - Search: filter for unread novels / unread shorts - New `filter` parameter on `GET /api/search?q=…&filter=all|unread_novels|unread_shorts` (default: `all`) - `unread_novels`: restricts to books with no reading sessions/progress and no `Shorts` tag - `unread_shorts`: restricts to books with no reading sessions/progress and with a `Shorts` tag - UI: second toggle row (All / Unread novels / Unread shorts) below the Phrase/All words toggle - Filter persisted in URL (`?filter=…`) and restored on page load ## 2026-04-05 (4) - Backup: large files (> 148 MB) now uploaded via Dropbox upload session in 100 MB chunks - `_dropbox_upload_bytes`: files ≤ 148 MB go via `files_upload` (unchanged); larger files via `upload_session_start` → `upload_session_append_v2` → `upload_session_finish` - Fixes `ApiError: UploadError('payload_too_large')` ## 2026-04-05 (3) - Filenames: spaces now replaced with underscores when saving new files - `clean_segment` (common.py) and `_clean_segment` (reader.py): `\s+` → `_` instead of space - Series separator changed from ` - ` to `_-_` (applies to EPUB, CBR, CBZ and DB filenames) - Existing files are not renamed ## 2026-04-05 (2) - Search: removed result limit; added Phrase / All words mode toggle - `LIMIT 30` removed — all matching chapters are returned - New `mode` parameter on `GET /api/search?q=…&mode=phrase|words`: `phrase` (default) requires words in order (`phraseto_tsquery`); `words` requires all words present in any order (`plainto_tsquery`) - Toggle in the UI (Phrase / All words) above the results; mode is included in the URL ## 2026-04-05 (1) - Export EPUB: double chapter titles fixed — same heading-stripping logic as the reader now applied before passing content to `make_chapter_xhtml` - Library: authors and publishers with only archived books now remain visible in the Authors and Publishers list views - `renderAuthorsView` and `renderPublishersView` switched from `activeBooks()` to `allBooks` — consistent with `renderAuthorDetail` and `renderPublisherDetail` ## 2026-04-04 (2) - Reader: fixed double chapter titles for books where the heading is wrapped in a `<section>` element (pandoc-style) - Previous regex only stripped `<h1>`–`<h4>` at the very start of content; pandoc-converted EPUBs wrap headings as `<section …><h1>…</h1>` — heading was not at position 0 so the regex didn't fire - Added a second `re.sub` pass that removes the first `<h1>`–`<h4>` found directly after an opening `<section>` or `<div>` tag, preserving the wrapper element - Same stripping applied in the DB→EPUB export (`export_epub`) before passing content to `make_chapter_xhtml` - Search: switched from `plainto_tsquery` to `phraseto_tsquery` in the FTS WHERE clause - `plainto_tsquery` ANDs all words but treats them as independent terms (any order, any distance) — multi-word queries like "4 years later" matched chapters where the words appeared far apart - `phraseto_tsquery` requires all words to appear in sequence; `ts_rank` and `ts_headline` still use `plainto_tsquery` for correct scoring and highlighting ## 2026-04-04 (1) - Reader: fixed double chapter titles in DB-stored books - Chapter endpoint (`GET /library/chapter/{index}/{filename}`) now strips all leading `<h1>`–`<h4>` tags from stored content before prepending its own `<h2 class="chapter-title">` — books scraped before front-matter stripping was added to the scraper showed the title (and chapter heading) twice - Library: archived books now visible in author and publisher detail views, with an indicator badge on the cover - `renderAuthorDetail` and `renderPublisherDetail` reverted to use `allBooks` (including archived) so archived books remain accessible from the author/publisher pages - New `.badge-archived` overlay (bottom-left of cover): dark circle with archive icon, consistent with existing `badge-status` and `read-pill` overlays; added to all three card-rendering code paths ## 2026-04-03 (3) - DB chapter editor: Monaco-based editor now supports DB-stored books - `GET /library/editor/{filename}` handles `db/…` filenames; `is_db` flag passed to template - `GET /api/edit/chapter/{index}/{filename}` and `POST …`: DB branches query/update `book_chapters` directly; save calls `upsert_chapter` (updates `content_tsv` too) - `POST /api/edit/chapter/add/{filename}` and `DELETE …`: DB branches insert/delete with `chapter_index` shift via `UPDATE … SET chapter_index = chapter_index ± 1` - Title editing: header chapter-name replaced with a text input for DB books; `pendingTitles` map preserves unsaved titles across chapter switches (parallel to `pendingContent`); title-only dirty chapters correctly saved in Save All - `insertBreak`: scene-break image path is `/static/break.png` for DB books (vs `../Images/break.png` for EPUB) - Fix: `editor.focus()` called after content load so Monaco receives keyboard focus immediately - Fix: `header-chapter` "Loading…" text suppressed for DB books where that element is hidden - `book.html`: "Edit chapters" button shown for `storage_type = 'db'` books - Search: chapter titles now included in FTS - `upsert_chapter` prepends title to the plain-text input for `to_tsvector`: `title + " " + stripped_html` - `GET /api/search`: added `OR LOWER(bc.title) LIKE LOWER('%…%')` fallback for chapters whose title matches but content doesn't - Startup migration `migrate_rebuild_chapter_tsv_with_title()` rebuilds existing `content_tsv` values to include titles - Grabber: added DB/EPUB storage toggle on the Convert page - UI toggle above Convert button ("Save as: DB | EPUB file"); `storageMode` JS variable sent in POST body - `POST /convert`: reads `storage_mode` from body; stored in job as `'db'` or `'epub'` - `_run_scrape`: EPUB path builds chapters via `make_chapter_xhtml`, calls `make_epub`, writes file, calls `upsert_book(storage_type='file')`; DB path unchanged - `done` SSE event includes `storage_type`; `conversion.js` updates the download button label/action accordingly - EPUB → DB conversion: fixed double chapter title - `_epub_body_inner` strips the first `<h1>`/`<h2>`/`<h3>` heading from each chapter body before storing; the editor prepends its own heading, so storing the EPUB heading too caused it to appear twice - Fix for `NavigableString` crash: `getattr(child, "name", None) is None` used instead of `hasattr(child, "name")` — `NavigableString` has `name = None` but no `decompose()` method - Sidebar: Search link styling fixed - Stray `<li>Search</li>` moved inside the Library `<ul class="sidebar-nav">` (was outside, causing incorrect HTML structure) - `sidebar.css`: added `a:visited { color: var(--text-dim) }` and `a.active:visited { color: var(--accent) }` to prevent the browser's default purple visited color ## 2026-04-03 (2) - DB-stored books (Fase 4–6): EPUB→DB conversion, DB→EPUB export, full-text search - **Fase 4** — EPUB-to-DB conversion: `POST /api/library/convert-to-db/{filename}` converts an existing on-disk EPUB to a DB-stored book; extracts chapters via `_epub_body_inner` (rewrites img src to imagestore URLs), migrates all child rows (book_tags, reading_progress, reading_sessions, bookmarks, library_cover_cache) to the new `db/…` filename using INSERT→UPDATE→DELETE to respect FK constraints, then deletes the EPUB file - **Fase 5** — DB→EPUB export: `GET /api/library/export-epub/{filename}` builds and streams an EPUB from DB content; `_rewrite_db_images_for_epub` rewrites `/library/db-images/…` URLs back to `OEBPS/Images/…` paths, deduplicating by sha256; `Content-Disposition: attachment` response - **Fase 6** — Full-text search: new `routers/search.py` with `GET /search` (page) and `GET /api/search?q=…` (FTS over `book_chapters.content_tsv` via `plainto_tsquery('simple', q)`, `ts_headline` for snippets, `ts_rank` for ordering, LIMIT 30, excludes archived); new `templates/search.html` with highlight (`<mark>`), "Read here" link (`?bm_ch=N&bm_scroll=0`), and "Book detail" link; Search entry added to sidebar - `book.html`: DB books show "Export EPUB" instead of "Download"; "Edit EPUB" and "Convert to DB" buttons only shown for `.epub` files; delete modal text differs for DB vs file books - `PATCH /library/book/{filename}`: DB book branch added — skips file move, recomputes synthetic `db/…` filename via `make_rel_path`, applies same FK-safe rename pattern, updates `book_chapters` and `bookmarks` in addition to standard child tables ## 2026-04-03 (1) - DB-stored books (Fase 1–3): grabber now stores scraped books in PostgreSQL instead of EPUB files on disk - New `book_chapters` table: `filename FK, chapter_index, title, content TEXT, content_tsv TSVECTOR`; GIN index on `content_tsv` for future FTS - New `book_images` table: `sha256 PK, ext, media_type, size_bytes`; content-addressed imagestore at `library/images/{sha2}/{sha256}{ext}` - New `storage_type VARCHAR(10) DEFAULT 'file'` column on `library`; DB-stored books use `'db'` - New utilities in `common.py`: `is_db_filename`, `write_image_file`, `store_db_image`, `html_to_plain`, `upsert_chapter`, `ensure_unique_db_filename`; `make_rel_path` now handles `media_type="db"` → synthetic `db/{pub}/{auth}/...` filename - `upsert_book` and `list_library_json` updated to include `storage_type` - Grabber: `_run_scrape` stores chapters in `book_chapters`, chapter images in imagestore (absolute `/library/db-images/` URLs embedded in HTML), cover in `library_cover_cache`; no EPUB file written - New `GET /library/db-images/{path:path}` endpoint serves imagestore files - Reader: `GET /library/chapters/` and `GET /library/chapter/` have DB branches for `storage_type='db'` books (query `book_chapters` directly) - Reader page (`/library/read/`), book detail page, mark-read, and rating endpoints all handle DB filenames (no file existence required) - Cover endpoints (`/library/cover/`, `/library/cover-cached/`) serve DB books from `library_cover_cache` ## 2026-04-02 (1) - Added Restore functionality to the Backup page - New `GET /api/backup/snapshots` endpoint: lists available Dropbox snapshots (name + date parsed from filename, no downloads needed) - New `GET /api/backup/snapshots/{snapshot_name}/files` endpoint: loads a snapshot from Dropbox and returns all files with path, size, sha256, and whether the file currently exists locally - New `POST /api/backup/restore` endpoint: downloads file objects from Dropbox, writes to disk, and re-indexes via `scan_media` + `upsert_book`; returns per-file result with errors - New "Restore" card on the backup page: snapshot dropdown (auto-loaded on page open), file list with filter/search, per-file "Restore" button, multi-select + "Restore selected", on-disk indicator, inline status feedback - After restore, the file list refreshes to reflect updated on-disk state ## 2026-03-29 (10) - Duplicates: fixed `updateCounts` crashing with a TypeError (`g.books.length` → `g.length`); the crash prevented `renderGrid` from running, so the duplicates view never rendered and the counter was stale ## 2026-03-29 (9) - Duplicates: volume-aware duplicate detection — a book is only a duplicate when title + author + volume all match - `_duplicateGroups` in `library.js` (Duplicates view): key now includes `series_index` when > 0, so different volumes of the same series are no longer grouped as duplicates - `preload` in `grabber.py` (Grabber): when the scraper returns a `series_index_hint`, the DB lookup only flags a match when title + author + volume all match; falls back to title + author when no volume is known — same logic as the bulk importer ## 2026-03-29 (8) - Shared code: eliminated all remaining duplication across templates and JS files - CSS custom properties: extracted single `:root { }` block into `static/theme.css`; removed duplicate inline `:root` from all 15 templates and from `library.css`, `book.css` — `editor.css` keeps editor-specific vars (`--danger`, `--header-h`, `--panel-w`), `reader.html` keeps page-specific vars (`--header-h`, `--footer-h`, `--content-w`), `backup.html` keeps (`--ok`, `--warn`, `--err`) - Cover helpers: moved `strHash`, `COVER_PALETTES`, `makePlaceholderCover`, `wrapText`, `truncate` from `library.js` and `book.js` into `books.js`; removed from `home.html` and `following.html` - HTML escape: `esc()` added to `books.js`; removed from `library.js`, `editor.js`, and all 8 templates that defined it inline - SSE/EventSource: extracted shared `connectConversionStream(job_id)` and `addLog()` into new `static/conversion.js`; both `index.html` and `grabber.html` now call the shared function (removed ~70 duplicate lines) ## 2026-03-29 (7) - Search: extracted shared book helpers and search logic into `static/books.js` - `_filenameBase`, `bookTitle`, `bookAuthor`, `tagValuesByType`, `bookGenres`, `bookSubgenres`, `bookPlainTags`, `filterBooks`, `setupSearchInput` moved from `library.js` and `home.html` to a single shared file - Both pages now use identical search behaviour: Enter to search, × to clear - Both pages now search across title, author, publisher, genre, sub-genre, and tag ## 2026-03-29 (6) - Search: changed from search-as-you-type (250 ms debounce) to Enter-to-search on both Library and Home — prevents iPad keyboard from locking up on large collections ## 2026-03-29 (5) - Accent colour updated to match logo orange (`#ffa20e`); secondary accent updated to `#ffb840` - Applied across all CSS files, templates, and inline styles ## 2026-03-29 (4) - Branding: added logo, favicon, and Apple touch icon to all pages - Static assets: `logo.png` (sidebar), `favicon.ico` (16×16), `favicon-32.png` (32×32), `favicon-256.png` (256×256), `apple-touch-icon.png` (180×180 with `#0f0e0c` background) - Favicon `<link>` tags added to all 15 templates - Sidebar: image logo (`logo.png`) placed next to the existing "No**vela**" wordmark using flexbox - `apple-touch-icon.png` uses dark `#0f0e0c` background — renders as a native-looking iOS home screen icon ## 2026-03-29 (3) - Dockerfile: replaced `unrar-free` with proprietary `unrar` (RARLAB v6.2.6) from Debian non-free — fixes "Failed to read enough data" errors on RAR archives using newer compression methods ## 2026-03-29 (2) - CBR reader: detect archive format via magic bytes instead of file extension — `.cbr` files that are actually ZIP or 7-zip archives now open correctly; added `py7zr` dependency for 7-zip support ## 2026-03-29 (1) - Bulk Import: duplicate check now volume-aware — books with the same title+author but a different volume number (e.g. recoloured reprints) are no longer flagged as duplicates; `volume` is included in the API call and matched against `series_index` in the DB ## 2026-03-28 (11) - Bulk Import: duplicate detection against existing library - New `POST /api/bulk-check-duplicates` endpoint: case-insensitive title+author+volume match, single SQL query with OR conditions for all pairs - Duplicate rows highlighted in red in the preview table; a skip checkbox appears per duplicate row - Stats bar shows "X duplicates · Skip all · Import all" action buttons - Duplicate rows are skipped by default; user can toggle individual rows or use bulk actions - `startImport()` filters out skipped rows before batching; skipped files appear in the result summary as "Duplicate – skipped" - If all rows are skipped (nothing to import), result shown immediately without sending any request ## 2026-03-28 (10) - After "Remove from New" succeeds, the library is now reloaded from the server (`loadLibrary()`) so the New list updates immediately without a manual refresh ## 2026-03-28 (9) - Bulk delete is now batched: new `POST /library/bulk-delete` endpoint accepts a JSON list of filenames, deletes files and removes DB rows in one query per batch; JS sends 20 files per batch with a progress bar in the confirmation dialog ## 2026-03-28 (8) - Disk usage warning in sidebar: `GET /api/disk` returns partition usage for the library directory; sidebar polls every 60 s and shows a warning bar (amber ≥ 85% or < 2 GB free, red ≥ 95% or < 500 MB free) above the backup status bar ## 2026-03-28 (7) - Fixed `mark-reviewed` JS: UI (allBooks update + renderGrid) now only runs after confirmed server success; `catch` no longer fires a false error after a successful response where renderGrid throws ## 2026-03-28 (6) - Bulk Import: rewrote pattern editor from token-pills to free-text `%placeholder%` syntax - Pattern input: free-text field; placeholders: `%series%` `%volume%` `%title%` `%year%` `%month%` `%day%` `%author%` `%publisher%` `%ignore%` - Colored chip row: click to insert at cursor position; drag onto input also supported - Colored live preview below the pattern input; regex-based parser replaces delimiter+token logic - Shared metadata now wins over filename-parsed values (previously filename won) - All UI text translated from Dutch to English ## 2026-03-28 (5) - Status badge (top-right cover) and want-to-read star (top-left cover) now use dark fill `rgba(15,14,12,0.82)` + `box-shadow: 0 0 0 2px #0f0e0c` ring — always readable regardless of cover colour ## 2026-03-28 (4) - Added `Temporary Hold` status; renamed `Hiatus` → `Long-Term Hold` - Startup migration `migrate_rename_hiatus()` converts existing DB records automatically - Status colours: Complete=green, Ongoing=blue, Temporary Hold=amber, Long-Term Hold=orange - `statusBadgeHtml()` helper in `library.js` replaces three identical inline badge blocks - Grabber: `Temporary-Hold` (gayauthors.org) now maps to `Temporary Hold`; `Long-Term Hold` passes through unchanged - Status dropdowns updated in Book Detail and Bulk Import ## 2026-03-28 (3) - Added Bulk Import page (`/bulk-import`) for batch importing CBR/CBZ/EPUB/PDF files with filename-based metadata parsing - Configurable token pattern: Serie, Volume, Titel, Jaar, Auteur, Uitgever, Negeer (in any order) - Configurable delimiter (default ` - `); year token right-anchored when last so title absorbs overflow segments - Live test-parse box: type any filename and see how it parses before selecting files - Shared metadata card: author, publisher, status, genres, tags applied to all files (overridden by pattern tokens or manual edits) - Preview table: all parsed fields editable via contenteditable cells; warning indicator for rows with fewer segments than tokens; sorted by filename - Batch upload in groups of 5 with progress bar (N / total files processed) - Result summary with list of skipped files and reasons - New `routers/bulk_import.py`: `GET /bulk-import`, `POST /library/bulk-import` - Sidebar link under Tools between Book Builder and Credentials This file tracks changes on the `develop` line. `changelog.md` can later be used for release summaries. ## 2026-03-28 (2) - Performance: library page now loads instantly for large collections (1000+ books) - `IntersectionObserver` defers both cover image loading and placeholder canvas drawing until cards enter the viewport — eliminates hundreds of upfront canvas ops that blocked the initial render - `ETag` caching on `/library/list`: server returns `304 Not Modified` when nothing changed, client skips JSON parse and re-download - Single DOM pass in `renderBooksGrid`, `renderDuplicatesView`, `renderSeriesDetail`: canvas and img set up via `card.querySelector` immediately after `innerHTML`, removing a second iteration with `document.getElementById` per card - `book_tags` joined via `json_agg` in the main `list_library_json()` query, eliminating a separate `SELECT * FROM book_tags` query and Python merge loop - `loadLibrary` now shows an error message instead of staying stuck on "Loading…" when the fetch or render fails ## 2026-03-28 (1) - Added Following page (`/following`): track external author URLs outside Library and Tools - New `authors` table: `name` (unique), `url`, `created_at`, `updated_at` - New `routers/following.py`: `GET /following` page, `GET /api/following` (all authors + URL + book count + last added), `POST /api/following/{name}` (set/clear URL) - Sidebar: new Following section between Library and Tools; counter shows number of followed authors - Following page: two tabs — Following (authors with URL) and All Authors; inline URL editing with Enter/Escape keyboard support; Visit button opens external URL in a new tab; author name links to library author view - Added Incomplete view to Library (`#incomplete`): shows all non-archived books where `publication_status ≠ Complete`; sidebar counter included; entry placed after New in the Library section ## 2026-03-27 (1) - Convert page: duplicate warning shown after loading metadata when a book with the same title+author already exists in the library; warning includes a link to the existing book; user can still proceed with conversion - Library: added Duplicates section to sidebar (between Rated and Statistics); counter shows total number of books that are part of a duplicate group (same title+author, case-insensitive); Duplicates view groups books by title+author with a subheading per group - Fixed Duplicates view not loading covers: card renderer now uses the same canvas + two-pass img/`makePlaceholderCover` pattern as `renderBooksGrid` ## 2026-03-26 (2) - Fixed Book Builder page showing white background: `library.css` added to `builder.html` to load `:root` CSS variables and dark `body` background; all CSS variable references in `builder.css` aligned with library theme names (`--text`, `--surface`, `--surface2`, `--text-dim`, `--border`, `--accent`, `--sidebar`) ## 2026-03-26 (1) - Added Book Builder: create EPUB books manually from scratch via a WYSIWYG editor - New `builder_drafts` table (`id UUID`, `title`, `author`, `publisher`, `source_url`, `chapters JSONB`) - `build_epub()` in `epub.py`: builds a standards-compliant EPUB 2.0 ZIP from title/author/publisher/chapters; embeds inline CSS and `break.png` if present - `normalize_wysiwyg_html()` in `xhtml.py`: converts contenteditable HTML to EPUB-safe XHTML; handles scene-breaks, `<blockquote class="author-note">`, inline formatting, and `<hr>` → break image - `routers/builder.py`: draft CRUD, chapter CRUD (`GET/POST/PUT/DELETE`), normalize preview endpoint, publish endpoint (normalizes all chapters → builds EPUB → writes to `library/epub/` → upserts to DB → deletes draft → redirects to book detail) - `templates/builder.html` + `static/builder.js` + `static/builder.css`: index page (new draft form + draft list) and editor (chapter panel, contenteditable pane, toolbar with bold/italic/underline/blockquote/author-note/scene-break/normalize, autosave every 30 s, Ctrl+S, publish button) - Book Builder link added to sidebar Tools section (between Convert and Credentials) - `.author-note` blockquote style added to `static/epub-style.css` ## 2026-03-25 (20) - Added Rated section to library sidebar: shows all non-archived books with `rating > 0`, sorted by rating descending then title alphabetically; badge displays total count; navigable via `#rated` URL hash ## 2026-03-25 (19) - Fixed series index 0 not displaying in series slot view, grid cards, list volume column, and book detail: - Series slot labels now show `#0` for all slots when the series has at least one positively-indexed sibling (consistent label height across all cards) - Grid card and list volume column use the same cross-book heuristic (`indexedSeriesSet`) to show `[0]` where appropriate - Book detail page queries whether any sibling in the same series has `series_index > 0` (`series_is_indexed`) and shows `[0]` accordingly ## 2026-03-25 (18) - Added autocomplete for Author, Publisher, and Series in the book edit panel: typing shows a filtered dropdown of existing values from the library; selecting a value fills the field (same dropdown styling as genres/tags) - Status field now defaults to "Complete" when opening the edit panel for a book that has no status set yet ## 2026-03-25 (17) - Fixed CBR reader showing only first page: `cbr_page_count` was missing from the `cbr` import in `reader.py`; `/api/cbr/info/` was returning an error, causing `page_count` to fall back to 1 and the Next button to remain disabled ## 2026-03-25 (16) - Fixed CBR/CBZ reader stuck on loading: added `/api/cbr/info/{filename}` endpoint returning `{page_count}`, and added a CBR/CBZ branch in `reader.html` that mirrors the PDF paged reader (page images served via `/library/cbr/{filename}/{page}`) ## 2026-03-25 (15) - Added series volume 0 and letter suffix support (e.g. "21a", "21b"): - New `series_suffix VARCHAR(10)` column added to `library` table via `migrate_series_suffix` - `series_index` lower bound changed from 1 to 0 throughout (index 0 = special/prequel edition) - Volume field in the book editor changed from `type="number"` to `type="text"` — accepts "0", "1", "21a", etc. - Server parses the combined volume string into `series_index` (INTEGER) + `series_suffix` (VARCHAR) via `parse_volume_str` - File naming includes suffix: `021a - Title.epub` - `novela:series_suffix` meta tag written to/read from EPUB OPF for persistence across rescans - Series detail view: books sorted by `(series_index, series_suffix)`; slot labels show "21a"; index 0 shown as slot when any sibling has index > 0 - Grid cards, list view Volume column, author/publisher sort all include suffix ## 2026-03-25 (14) - Added multi-select and bulk delete to `All books` List view: - Checkbox column added to the list table (List mode only; Grid mode unchanged) - Select all / Clear all / Clear selection controls in the controls bar - `Shift+click` range selection on checkboxes - `Delete selected` button (red, disabled when nothing is selected) triggers a confirmation dialog; confirmed deletions remove files from disk and database, then reload the library ## 2026-03-25 (13) - Fixed EPUB cover replacement reverting to original after upload: - `GET /library/cover/{filename}` for EPUBs now checks the DB cover cache first (populated on upload) before falling back to extracting from the EPUB file; the cache is also warmed on cache-miss so subsequent requests are fast. - `add_cover_to_epub` fully rewritten: locates the OPF via `META-INF/container.xml`, finds the existing cover image in the OPF manifest, removes it from the ZIP, and writes the new cover in the same directory — works for any EPUB directory structure (`OEBPS/`, `EPUB/`, etc.). ## 2026-03-25 (12) - Fixed chapter images not loading in EPUBs that use a non-standard root directory (e.g. `EPUB/` instead of `OEBPS/`): image paths are now passed as full ZIP paths instead of stripping the root segment, and the image endpoint no longer hardcodes an `OEBPS/` prefix. Case-insensitive fallback retained for EPUBs with mismatched image folder casing. ## 2026-03-25 (11) - Fixed reader progress bar jumping to 100% immediately when navigating to the second chapter in short EPUBs (2 chapters): changed progress formula denominator from `total - 1` to `total` so 100% is only reached after fully scrolling through the last chapter. Same fix applied to PDF page progress. ## 2026-03-25 (10) - Added bookmark feature: - `bookmarks` table in DB (`migrate_create_bookmarks`): `filename`, `chapter_index`, `scroll_frac`, `chapter_title`, `note`, `created_at` - New API endpoints: `GET/POST /library/bookmarks/{filename}`, `PATCH/DELETE /library/bookmarks/{id}`, `GET /api/bookmarks` - Bookmark button in reader header (orange, bookmark icon): opens modal with optional note field - Bookmark modal closes on Escape, backdrop click, or Cancel - Reader supports `?bm_ch=N&bm_scroll=F` URL params to jump directly to bookmarked position (overrides saved progress) - Library sidebar: Bookmarks section in Library nav with live count badge - Library `#bookmarks` view: card list showing cover, book title, author, chapter, note, date, Go-to and Delete buttons ## 2026-03-22 - Added blueprint/technical documentation structure in `docs/`. - Completed router split and bootstrap structure (`main.py`, routers, migrations, DB pool). - Expanded media support to EPUB/PDF/CBR/CBZ in import and scan flows. - Expanded Home UI with: - import dropzone for EPUB/PDF/CBR/CBZ - search functionality - alignment matching Library (search top-right, dropzone below) - Updated Library import texts and drag/drop filtering for multi-format support. - Expanded Library `New` view with: - `Grid`/`List` toggle - column visibility filter in `List` - multi-select + bulk `Remove from New` - selection only in `List` mode - `Shift+click` range selection on checkboxes - Added route: `POST /library/new/mark-reviewed` (bulk set `needs_review=false`). - Improved library performance: - `/api/library` fast-path (no full rescan on every page load) - optional `rescan=true` / `include_file_info=true` - SQL optimizations in `list_library_json()` - additional DB indexes for scale - Restored `/api/home` full dataset output: - `continue_reading` - `shorts_unread` - `novels_unread` - `shorts_read` - `novels_read` - Explicitly filtered series books out of Home sections. - Corrected Home read ordering: `shorts_read` and `novels_read` now show oldest first (`ORDER BY MAX(read_at) ASC`). - Restored Statistics page by returning the full `/api/stats` payload required for charts, favorites, top books, and reading history. - Improved backup implementation: - Dropbox token stored encrypted in DB - Dropbox backup root configurable via web UI and stored encrypted in DB - versioned snapshots + object-store deduplication in Dropbox (`library_snapshots` / `library_objects`) - configurable snapshot retention (`snapshots to keep`) via backup settings - object pruning based on retained snapshots - scheduled backup (enable + interval in hours) - backup runs as a background process, so page navigation does not block execution - stale running state recovery after restart/crash (old running logs marked interrupted/error) - dry-run support in the new flow - Updated Docker image with `postgresql-client` for `pg_dump`. - Multiple test builds pushed to `gitea.oskamp.info/ivooskamp/novela:dev`. ## 2026-03-25 (9) - Fixed backup progress not visible immediately after clicking Run Live Backup: sidebar `loadBackupProgress()` is now called directly from the backup page after a successful start - Fixed backup status timestamp showing wrong relative time (e.g. "1h ago" for a recent backup): server UTC timestamps without timezone suffix are now correctly interpreted as UTC in the browser - Fixed backup status bar using browser-default purple link color: now uses `var(--accent)` orange consistent with the rest of the UI - Added password manager ignore attributes to App Key and App Secret fields: `data-1p-ignore` (1Password), `data-lpignore="true"` (LastPass), `data-form-type="other"` (1Password v8) ## 2026-03-25 (8) - Added Dropbox OAuth2 refresh token support (no redirect URI needed): - New endpoints: `POST /api/backup/oauth/prepare` (generates auth URL) and `POST /api/backup/oauth/exchange` (exchanges code for refresh token) - `_dbx()` now prefers refresh token mode (app key + secret + refresh token) with automatic renewal; falls back to legacy access token for backwards compatibility - App key and secret stored encrypted in `credentials` table (`dropbox_app_key`, `dropbox_app_secret`) - `DELETE /api/backup/credentials` now also cleans up `dropbox_app_key` and `dropbox_app_secret` - Backup page updated with two-step OAuth flow UI (app key/secret → auth URL → paste code) - Settings status shows `• refresh token` or `• legacy token` indicator ## 2026-03-25 (7) - Added backup progress tracking: `GET /api/backup/progress` returns `{running, done, total, phase}`; sidebar shows live file count (e.g. `312 / 652 · uploading`) polling every 3 s while running ## 2026-03-25 (6) - Fixed `GET /api/backup/health` missing `schedule_enabled` and `schedule_interval_hours` in response (values were read but not returned; Health card showed "disabled" even when schedule was on) - Added backup status indicator in sidebar above Rescan library button: coloured dot + status text (OK/running/failed/never), links to `/backup`, auto-refreshes every 8 s while running, shows time-ago for last successful backup ## 2026-03-25 (5) - One-time path migration: all 571 existing library files moved to correct format-prefixed structure (`epub/`, `pdf/`, `comics/`) and all DB references updated (`migrate_paths.py --execute`) - Empty old publisher root directories pruned after migration - Recovery script (`recover_decock049.py`) written; confirmed file was added after last Dropbox backup so not recoverable — to be re-imported manually ## 2026-03-25 (4) - Added {publisher} directory to PDF and CBR/CBZ paths: `pdf/{publisher}/{author}/{title}.pdf`, `comics/{publisher}/{author}/{title}.cbr/cbz` — consistent with EPUB structure ## 2026-03-25 (3) - Fixed CBZ extension in import: `common.make_rel_path` always generated `.cbr` for CBZ files; now accepts `ext` parameter; `library.py` passes actual suffix so CBZ files land at `comics/{author}/{title}.cbz` - Added missing `GET /download/{filename}` endpoint (referenced in book.html but was 404) - TECHNICAL.md fully rewritten: added File Storage Paths section, complete endpoint lists for all routers including settings.py, corrected path documentation ## 2026-03-25 (2) - Fixed PDF metadata editing (PATCH /library/book): - `_sync_epub_metadata` is now only called for `.epub` files; PDFs update DB only - `_make_rel_path` now includes the format prefix matching import: EPUB → `epub/{publisher}/{author}/…`, PDF → `pdf/{author}/{title}.pdf`, CBR/CBZ → `comics/{author}/{title}{ext}`; previously files were moved outside their format directory on metadata save - Fixed PDF reader (infinite loading screen): - `reader_page` now passes `format` (epub/pdf/cbr/cbz) to `reader.html` - Added `GET /api/pdf/info/{filename}` endpoint returning `{"page_count": N}` - `reader.html` branches on `FORMAT`: PDFs render page images from `/library/pdf/{filename}?page=N`, EPUB flow unchanged - PDF progress tracked per page; keyboard and button navigation work identically to EPUB - `Edit EPUB` button in Book Detail hidden for non-EPUB files ## 2026-03-23 - Added `All books` Grid/List toggle in Library: - same columns as `New` view (Publisher, Author, Series, Volume, Title, Has cover, Updated, Genres, Sub-genres, Tags, Status) - column visibility filter in `List` mode - no selection checkboxes or bulk actions - view mode and column visibility persisted separately in `localStorage` (`novela.all.viewMode`, `novela.all.visibleColumns`) - Added 1–5 star rating for books: - stored in the database (`rating SMALLINT DEFAULT 0`) - written to EPUB OPF as `<meta name="novela:rating" content="N"/>` on rating change - written to CBZ `ComicInfo.xml` as `<NovelaRating>N</NovelaRating>` on rating change - CBR and PDF are DB-only (file format constraints) - rating is recovered from file metadata during rescan/DB rebuild (`upsert_book` preserves file rating over default 0) - stars displayed under the cover (outside `.book-info`) in all grid views (Library, Home) - stars in grid cards are display-only (no click) to prevent accidental taps while scrolling - stars in Book Detail are interactive (larger, 1.1rem), clicking same star removes rating - star color: amber (`#c8a03a`) for filled, `rgba(200, 160, 58, 0.25)` for unfilled — consistent across Library, Home, and Book Detail - Added text colour setting to reader hamburger menu: - 5 warm-tone presets from bright (`#e8e2d9`) to dim (`#938d86`) - active preset shown with accent-coloured ring - choice persisted in `localStorage` (`reader-text-colour`) and restored on next open - Increased spacing between hamburger button and back link in reader header (`margin-left: 1rem`) to prevent accidental taps - Removed `Cover Missing` auto-tag: - tag is no longer added on import, rescan, or grabber download - `ensure_cover_missing_tag()` removed from `common.py`, `library.py`, and `grabber.py` - startup migration removes all existing `Cover Missing` tags from the database - Fixed Tags/Genres/Sub-Genres not saving in book edit panel on desktop: - `,` (comma) now acts as a confirmation key alongside Enter in `PillInput` - `flush()` added to `PillInput`: any text still in the input field is auto-confirmed when Save is clicked - Fixed tag/genre search and tag-pill navigation being broken: - `renderGenreView` was filtering on `b.genres` (non-existent field); now uses `bookGenres()`, `bookSubgenres()`, `bookPlainTags()` - `renderSearchResults` had the same bug; search now covers title, author, genres, sub-genres, and tags
