# Changelog
|
||
|
||
## v0.1.1 — 2026-03-31
|
||
|
||
Bug fixes, volume-aware duplicate detection, shared code cleanup, and a new Changelog page.
|
||
|
||
### Bug fixes
|
||
|
||
- Duplicates view crashed on load due to a TypeError (`g.books.length` was undefined); counter was stale and the view never rendered
|
||
- Duplicate detection was too aggressive: different volumes of the same series (same title + author, different volume) were incorrectly grouped as duplicates — now keyed on title + author + volume
|
||
- Grabber preload: same volume-aware fix — only flags a duplicate when title, author, and volume all match; falls back to title + author when no volume is known
|
||
- Bulk Import duplicate check: different volumes of the same series are no longer flagged as duplicates
|
||
|
||
### Improvements
|
||
|
||
- Search changed from search-as-you-type (250 ms debounce) to Enter-to-search — prevents the iPad keyboard from locking up on large collections
|
||
- CBR reader: archive format now detected via magic bytes instead of file extension — `.cbr` files that are actually ZIP or 7-zip archives open correctly; added 7-zip support via `py7zr`
|
||
- Docker: replaced `unrar-free` with proprietary unrar (RARLAB v6.2.6) — fixes failures on RAR archives using newer compression methods
|
||
|
||
### New feature
|
||
|
||
- Changelog page (`/changelog`): structured release history with version, date, and categorised change lists
|
||
|
||
### Code quality
|
||
|
||
- Shared CSS (`theme.css`): single `:root` block with all global CSS custom properties; loaded on every page — no more duplicate inline `:root` blocks across templates
|
||
- Shared JS (`books.js`): book helpers (`bookTitle`, `bookAuthor`, `bookGenres`, `bookSubgenres`, `bookPlainTags`, `filterBooks`) and search input wiring extracted into one shared file
|
||
- Shared JS (`conversion.js`): SSE/EventSource logic (`connectConversionStream`, `addLog`) extracted from Convert and Grabber pages into one shared file
|
||

## v0.1.0 — 2026-03-29
|
||
|
||
First release of Novela: a self-hosted personal library for EPUB, PDF, CBR, and CBZ files.
|
||
|
||
### Library
|
||
|
||
- Grid and List view for all books and New books, with column visibility filter and persistent view mode
|
||
- Sidebar navigation: All books, Want to Read, New, Incomplete, Series, Authors, Publishers, Archived, Bookmarks, Rated, Duplicates, Statistics
|
||
- Sidebar counters for all sections, live-updated without page reload
|
||
- 1–5 star ratings stored in DB and written back to EPUB OPF / CBZ ComicInfo.xml
|
||
- Publication status: Complete, Ongoing, Temporary Hold, Long-Term Hold
|
||
- Status and want-to-read badges on grid covers, always readable regardless of cover colour
|
||
- Duplicate detection: groups books by title+author; counter in sidebar
|
||
- Incomplete view: all non-archived books where publication status is not Complete
|
||
- Rated view: non-archived books with a star rating, sorted by rating
|
||
- Bulk delete in All books List view with multi-select and Shift+click range selection
|
||
- Disk usage warning in sidebar (amber ≥ 85%, red ≥ 95% or low free space)
|
||
- Autocomplete for Author, Publisher, and Series in the book edit panel
|
||
- Series volume suffix support (e.g. "21a", "21b") and volume 0 for prequels/specials
|
||
- Cover upload for EPUB books; cover cache for fast subsequent loads
|
||
|
||
### Reader
|
||
|
||
- EPUB reader with chapter navigation, scroll progress, and bookmarks
|
||
- PDF reader with page-image rendering and page navigation
|
||
- CBR/CBZ reader with page-image rendering; format detection via magic bytes (supports ZIP, RAR, 7-zip archives)
|
||
- Reader text colour: 5 warm-tone presets, persisted per browser
|
||
- Content width slider (30–100 vw), persisted per browser
|
||
- Bookmarks: save position with optional note; navigate back via sidebar or bookmark list
|
||
|
||
### Import & Convert
|
||
|
||
- Single-file import: drag-and-drop or file picker for EPUB, PDF, CBR, CBZ
|
||
- Bulk Import (`/bulk-import`): batch import with `%placeholder%` filename pattern parsing, shared metadata, live preview table, and duplicate detection
|
||
- Convert (`/convert`): scrape web fiction and convert to EPUB; warns if title+author already exists in library
|
||
- Grabber with credentials manager for site-specific login
|
||
|
||
### Book Builder
|
||
|
||
- Create EPUB books from scratch via a WYSIWYG editor (`/builder`)
|
||
- Chapters with contenteditable editing; toolbar: bold, italic, underline, blockquote, author note, scene break, normalize
|
||
- Autosave every 30 s and Ctrl+S; publish produces a standards-compliant EPUB 2.0 added directly to the library
|
||
|
||
### Following
|
||
|
||
- Following page (`/following`): track external author URLs
|
||
- Two tabs: Following (authors with URL set) and All Authors
|
||
- Inline URL editing with Enter/Escape support; Visit opens URL in new tab
|
||
- Sidebar counter shows number of followed authors
|
||
|
||
### Backup
|
||
|
||
- Dropbox backup with versioned snapshots and object-store deduplication
|
||
- OAuth2 refresh token flow (does not expire); legacy access token supported as fallback
|
||
- Configurable backup root, snapshot retention, and scheduled interval
|
||
- Live backup progress in sidebar (file count + phase); backup status dot with time-ago
|
||
- PostgreSQL dump included in each backup run
|
||
|
||
### Performance
|
||
|
||
- Library loads instantly for large collections: ETag `304 Not Modified`, `IntersectionObserver` lazy covers, single DOM pass rendering, `json_agg` SQL tag aggregation
|
||
- Fast-path `/api/library` (DB-only); full rescan only on demand
|
||
|
||
### Branding
|
||
|
||
- Favicon for browser tabs (16×16, 32×32, 256×256)
|
||
- Apple touch icon (180×180) with dark background for iOS home screen
|
||
- Logo in sidebar alongside the Novela wordmark
