on GitHub

🎉 Release v1.2.9

⚠️ Before you upgrade: this release moves the image to Node.js 24. If a download client, indexer, Plex/Audiobookshelf, notification target or OIDC provider stopped connecting over HTTPS after this upgrade (Issuer.discover() failed., "SSL/TLS certificate error", dh key too small, EE certificate key too weak), that server uses a key under 2048 bits, which Node.js 24 refuses (weak DH parameters even with "Disable SSL verification" on). Upgrade the server's certificate or DH parameters, or set NODE_OPTIONS=--tls-cipher-list=DEFAULT@SECLEVEL=1 on the container as a stopgap: https://github.com/kikootwo/ReadMeABook/blob/main/documentation/deployment/unified.md#tls-errors-after-upgrading-to-node-24

Features:

• ✅ the image now runs Node.js 24 (was 20)
  • #398
  • see the TLS note above. Same volumes, ports, users and settings.

Fixes:

• ✅ BookDate recommendations work with current Claude models

  • #263
  • #395
  • newer Claude models send their thinking before the answer, and BookDate failed with Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'replace'). OpenAI and OpenAI-compatible providers now also handle empty and cut-off replies.

• ✅ imported M4B files carry their Audible ASIN as a tag

  • #404
  • ffmpeg silently dropped it; it's now written after ffmpeg and checked before the file is replaced. Audiobookshelf reads it when it scans.

• ✅ long book summaries scroll inside the details card instead of stretching it

  • #410

• ✅ a Kindle-fixed EPUB is imported only after it reads back as written

  • #402
  • if the check fails, the original EPUB is imported and the request says so.

  Upgrade:

  docker pull ghcr.io/kikootwo/readmeabook:latest
  docker compose down
  docker compose up -d
