v1.8.0

Major Changes

• Create new RomanNumeralTitleCard card type based off the Devilman Crybaby style I posted here
  • card_type identifier is roman or roman numeral
  • Utilizes the episode text to create the roman numeral, so episode_text_format should be either {episode_number} (the default) or {abs_number}
    • Technically doesn't go beyond ~3,000, but that seems like a non-issue..
  • Example of the card:
    
  • Similar to LogoTitleCard, aspects of the card can be customized using extras, like so:

    font:
      color: "#000000"
    extras:
      background: white
      roman_numeral_color: "#4489C2"

  • Also supports blurring, for example:
    
• Made separator between season/episode text modifiable in AnimeTitleCard, StandardTitleCard, and LogoTitleCard
  • Use separator extra like so:

    extras:
      separator: "-"

• Starting rewriting some of the Wiki pages to have collapsible menus (for easier navigation) - finished Getting Started Page

Major Fixes

• Fix manual season poster creation failing on non-default font size/kernings

Minor Changes

• Updated multi-part episode title detection

      font:
        file: ./path/to/some/file.ex
        color: "#hex"

  • Looks for base images titled season{number}.jpg, such as season1.jpg in the source directory
  • Example of a created poster:
    
  • Added mini maker arguments
    • --season-poster, --season-text, --season-font, --season-font-color, --season-font-size, --season-font-kerning
• Automatically download logos for all series
  • Independent of archive functionality, logos are downloaded so that they can be used by the LogoTitleCard (and other cards) without having to be run twice

• Removed ability to set global custom logo filename

Major Fixes

N/A
