Mozzo1000/booklogr v1.8.0 on GitHub

This release features several noticable enchancements and bug fixes. Including a security related fix.

Important

This release of BookLogr removes the previous default secret key and forces you to enter one by yourself. If you are upgrading from a previous version and have misconfigured your server to still use the default secret key, BookLogr will not start.
You will need to change the env variable AUTH_SECRET_KEY to a random string. Changing the secret key will force you to logout and log back in. This will not remove any of your data.

Highlights

Single-user mode

Instead of being forced to have an account to use BookLogr, you can now enable single-user mode which will disable all forms of authentication. Especially useful if you are hosting BookLogr for yourself at home and not having it exposed to the internet.
Read how to set it up in the docs

Setup script

A setup script is now provided to more easily get started running BookLogr. The script downloads all neccessary files and allows you to configure BookLogr interactively.
Read more in the Getting started docs.

Manually add books

You can now add books without them being available in the OpenLibrary database.
