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!

mangal sources will no longer list available sources, use mangal sources list instead.
mangal gen and mangal install were removed. Use mangal sources gen and mangal sources install instead.
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.
