v0.5.1 Release

Faster

  • The job history only fetches jobs that changed, polls less often while nothing changes, and pauses in background tabs.
  • Jobs start within a second of being submitted (the background worker could take up to 10 s after a quiet spell).
  • Image OCR runs Tesseract once per page instead of twice, and multi-page TIFFs no longer have to fit in memory. PDF OCR no longer reads the whole result to build its preview.
  • Output formats for the chosen files appear instantly; with several files, only formats that work for all of them are offered.
  • Up to 3 files upload at a time and the rest wait in a queue, so the first ones are processed sooner.
  • Pages, scripts and job lists are compressed, and scripts and styles are cached by the browser until the next update.
  • The TTS voice list no longer stalls the page (offline it could take ~90 s), is cached for all workers, and also lists voices that are already downloaded.
  • "Download Selected as ZIP" streams to disk and skips re-compressing media, PDF and Office files.

More reliable

  • Jobs interrupted by a restart of the container or worker are marked as failed instead of staying "processing" forever.
  • Upload chunks are retried after network errors; files that are too large, not allowed, or not valid for OCR are rejected before uploading. Uploads can be cancelled, and closing the tab mid-upload asks first.
  • Webhook callbacks are retried after connection errors and 5xx responses.
  • ZIP batches skip files the chosen converter does not accept instead of failing them, and big batches no longer push their own entry out of the history.
  • The File Size column shows the output size as soon as a job finishes; cancelling shows immediately; "Clear History" stops running jobs.
  • Leftover temporary files of interrupted uploads and conversions are cleaned up.

What's Changed

  • Merging 0.5: introducing major bug fixes, security and stability improvements by @LoredCast in #28
