What's new?

I've been actively working on this update lately, and I'm finally happy to share the 4th version of Mangal! 🐳

The most important feature this major version brings is significantly improved caching mechanism
which makes Mangal extremely fast and responsive.

Now, mangal makes almost no requests to the servers.
This includes Anilist, Scrapers, Update checker and so on!

⚠️ BREAKING!!! ⚠️ Please, read!
  1. mangal sources will no longer list available sources, use mangal sources list instead.
  2. mangal gen and mangal install were removed. Use mangal sources gen and mangal sources install instead.
  3. mangal sources remove command improved and accepts flags instead of args.

Inline JSON output is different now.

  • JSON fields now follow the camelCase style instead of PascalCase
    (actually, using PascalCase was never a goal, I just forgot to properly configure it).
    But since it's a major release I can finally fix this.
  • Structure was changed
  • Additional fields were added

See Inline mode wiki for new output schemas.

Please, consider these changes when migrating your applications that use mangal from 3rd version to 4th.

  • Improved TUI experience
  • Search completions in TUI. mangal config info -k search.show_query_suggestions
  • Anilist caching significantly improved. Now, it will cache all search results (for 2 days)
  • Update metadata of already downloaded manga (ComicInfo.xml, series.json, cover image) after changing Anilist bind. #124
    See mangal inline anilist update for more info
  • New command to generate json schema of inline output. See mangal help inline schema
  • Breaking downloader.default_source was changed to downloader.default_sources and accepts array of strings.
    See mangal config info -k downloader.default_sources for more info
  • New config reset command
  • Add caching for custom (lua) sources
  • Include different cover sizes and color for json output #116
  • Add option to omit dates for ComicInfo.xml #117
  • By default, when reading a chapter, mangal will look for its downloaded copy, instead of downloading it again.
    See mangal config info -k downloader.read_downloaded
  • Overwrite old series.json file each time a chapter is downloaded
  • Detect sources that use headless chrome and show that in the item description when selecting sources
  • Option to use alternative ComicInfo.xml date.
    See mangal config info -k metadata.comic_info_xml_alternative_date for more info
  • Notify about new version in help command
  • Include staff in ComicInfo.xml #119
  • Add --set-only and --unset-only flags for env command. Old --filter flag was removed
  • version command now has --short to just print the version without extra information
  • Breaking! Your old reading history (via mangal --continue) will be reset
  • Improved clear command
  • Option to set threshold for tag relevance to be included in ComicInfo.xml #121
