• JXL support (closes #306, thanks to @tr7zw)
• You can now configure Mango through environment variables (thanks to @crainte). Overall precedence:
  • config file (if exists)
  • environment variables
  • default values (see README.md)
• An additional "Page fit" option for the paged reader (partially #147, thanks to @Hiers)

Improvements

• Include a manga in the continue reading section on the home page as long as there are unread entries, even if the last entry is marked as read (thanks to @torta)

Bug-Fixes

• Fixed a bug on the paged reader pre-loading (thanks to @Leeingnyo)
• Fixed a bug where the subscribe button is showing for plugins that don't support manga subscriptions
• Fixed a bug where the mango.attribute helper function for plugins does not work for some HTML (fixes #320)

Bug-Fixes

• The OPDS related routes (/opds/*) were accidentally deleted in v0.26.0. It's fixed in this released. Resolves comment #255 (comment)

⚠️ Security Bug Fix

• Sanitize the query parameters on the user edit page (fixes #289). Security advisory GHSA-pg73-2855-jh9f

New Features

Here comes the long-awaited v2 plugin API! Plugins targeting the new API can offer these extra features:

• Search manga with search terms.
• Subscriptions and auto-update. You can subscribe to new chapters on the download page, and Mango will automatically check and download them for you. A new subscription manager page has been added.
• A new helper function mango.settings(key). See https://github.com/hkalexling/mango-plugins/wiki/Development-Guideline-v2 for details.

NOTE: Your existing plugins won't magically work with the new v2 API out of the box, and plugin authors/maintainers must update the plugins for that. The official mangadex plugin has been updated to support the v2 API.

Improvements

• Add error handling on the admin page (closes #274)
• Add manifest.json for a better mobile experience (closes #262)
• Improve logging on corrupted files (closes #281)

API Improvements:

• Add CORS headers
• Allow authentication through bearer tokens
• New endpoints for getting/updating sorting options (GET /api/sort_opt and PUT /api/sort_opt)
• Results from the /api/library and /api/book/:id endpoints are now sorted
• Archive errors are now included in API response
• Optionally include the reading progress percentage in API response
• New endpoints for getting home page items (/api/library/continue_reading, /api/library/start_reading, and /api/library/recently_added)
• Update /api/signin to respond with session ID and admin information

☠️ Breaking Changes

• The config option mangadex -> download_queue_db_path has been moved to the top level instead of under the mangadex key. If you've customized the path, remember to set the new config option as well.
• The metadata cache introduced in v0.24.0 is now enabled by default. You can opt out by setting cache_enabled to false in your config file.

New Features

• You can now set sort titles to your titles and entries. Sort titles will only be used when sorting and won't show up on the web interface (fixes #182, thanks to @Leeingnyo)

New Features

• Mango can now cache the library metadata to improve page load time for large libraries. Note that this feature is experimental and is disabled by default. You can enable it by setting cache_enabled to true in your config file. (closes #186, thanks to @Leeingnyo)

Improvements

• Cache the scanned library to a file (by default at ~/mango/library.yml.gz) to speed up scanning (closes #79, thanks to @Leeingnyo)
• The API endpoints /api/library and /api/book/:title_id now accept a new query parameter depth. When it's set to 1, the endpoints will only return top-level data without querying the nested titles and entries. This can help improve the performance of the Tachiyomi extension.
• Support additional image formats: APNG, AVIF, GIF, and SVG (closes #192, closes #228)
• Improve .dockerignore to remove unnecessary files from the Docker image (thanks to @lincolnthedev)
• Stricter download path sanitization (fixes #212)

Improvements

• You can now adjust the continuous mode page margin on the frontend with a slider. This deprecates the page_margin field in the config file. (resolves #211)
