LANraragi v.0.8.90 - The Hearts Filthy Lesson

[Difegue]

Happy new year! We back on the grind.
I'm still mostly working on non-LRR things at the moment(and playing Pizza Tower, go play pizza tower) but for some reason there's been an insane influx of pull requests recently -- Is this the power of Holopin? Just look at all those contributor avatars down there yooooooooo

As such, this is a plugin-focused release, with a few other nice bonuses. Roll it in!

🛑 Important changes

• If you're running from source, database_config is now officially in use, and all your non-archive configuration keys will be moved to it the next time you start the server. As a reminder, this DB lives in Redis index 2 by default and can be changed in lrr.conf.
  • See the architecture documentation for more info.

🧩 A morbillion new plugins

Plugins are a nice and easy way to contribute since they're isolated from the rest of the app, so I tend to be more lenient with code review on those!

My outmost thanks go out to everyone who added support for their meme format/websites in this release:

• (Is it possible to scrape metadata from internal comicinfo.xml files? #705) ComicInfo.xml support (@Gin-no-kami)

• (Hentag plugin #595) hentag.com metadata fetching + info.json (@siliconfeces)

• (Chaika plugin adds more tags #749) More tags from Chaika(@kagoromo)

• Chaika api.json embedded file support (@siliconfeces)

• (Koromo multiple artists #764) Handle multiple artists in koromo info.json files (@siliconfeces)

(ok I guess comicinfo.xml isn't really a meme format considering how prevalent it is)

I've started drafting out some design concepts for an eventual plugin git repository so I can be even more lenient with plugins in the future -- Maybe that'll be the big feature to land in 0.9.0.

Other changes

• (Filter by pages count #586) Page count search has been added

  🔎 You can now search for galleries with a specific number of pages with pages:20, or with a page range: pages:>20, pages:<=30.
  🤔 This first version isn't indexed so it might run a bit slow - let me know how it runs for you!

• (Sort speed increase #762) Increase search speed when sorting by non-title tags (@djacks6278)

  🏎️ As we keep carving away at the old shit search code, sorting should now be around 20x faster for non-title sorts.

• (Progressing tracking and "set this page as thumbnail" doesn't work in infinite scrolling mode #682) Progress tracking and "Set this page as thumbnail" now works with infinite scrolling

  ♾️ If you open the Reader in infinite scrolling mode, it'll also now automagically scroll to the page you last read.
  ⌛ Although due to the way infinite scrolling currently works, you might have to wait for all the images to be loaded for that scroll to happen...

• (Add category message #780) Category messages will now give you the name of the category/archive instead of the IDs (@siliconfeces)

  🗂️ heh
  

• (Added an option to replace existing archive on duplication. #759) Added an option in settings to overwrite existing archives when uploading a new one (@qhua948)

  ⬆️ This only applies to remote downloads and the 'add archive' page.
  🛑 This will delete metadata for old files when they're replaced! Use with caution.

• (Filter more credit pages & move covers to start #742) Filter more credit pages & move covers to start (@Asinin3)

  🛺 The reader will now move the following pages to the end when reading: end_card_save_file, notes, artist_info, credit, 999nhnl
  🆙 Likewise, images starting by cover will now be moved to the start by default.

• Miscellaneous bugfixes and improvements

  💎 (Create categories only by the top level subfolder #686) Add top level subfolder option for Folder2Cat script
  💎 (Tooltip broken for "randomly picked"/"new" #731) Fix tooltips in the carousel (@pastalian)
  💎 (Ctrl-F5 (no cache refresh) breaks the random/new archives zone #732) Fix full page refreshes occasionally breaking the carousel
  💎 (Resetting DB prevents search from working until restart #755) Fix resetting the database not triggering a search index rebuild
  💎 (Source tag not searchable until server restart #760) Fix source: tags not being indexed for search
  💎 (Perlcritic fixes #752 / Avoid complaining about undefined values #778) Fix some old code that was spewing out warnings (@siliconfeces)
  💎 Perl signatures are now allowed in the codebase 👍👍🆒
  💎 Some documentation fixes (@gogim1 , @ForsakenRei)

Full Changelog: v.0.8.81...v.0.8.90

“Hearts” began as a group improvisation in the Leon sessions (Garson started things off by playing a hook on piano, while Eno’s contribution was to loop a French radio broadcast and blast it every four bars) and it shows in the song’s structure, as “Hearts” can seem like a welded-together collection of pieces.
