docker pull ghcr.io/new-usemame/calibre-web-nextgen:v4.1.8 (or :latest)
Two community features, smoother browsing, and six fixes.
New
- Book pages show when you started reading and when it last synced — if you read with a Kobo or KOReader, both dates now appear on the book page, so you can tell how long a book has been in progress and whether its saved position is current. Thanks @Kyraminol (#763).
- The table view has a Tags column — genres and subjects at a glance while skimming or editing metadata; toggle it with the Columns button. Thanks @mrdynamo and the reporter (#725).
Improved
- Book lists load as you scroll — the Library grid, table view, shelves, smart shelves, and search results fetch the next page automatically instead of waiting behind a "Load more" button. Thanks @kurtlieber (#735).
- Sidebar reordering feels smooth — dragging a section in the Customize panel now lifts and glides instead of snapping and jittering, on mouse, touch, and pen, with keyboard reordering animated the same way (#742).
- Automatic Hardcover matching finds the right edition more often — the matcher now scores every search result instead of only the first ten. Thanks @Schmavery (#729).
Fixes
- The "duplicates found" notice no longer nags about books you've archived — the badge count now agrees with the duplicates page. Thanks @auspex (#737).
- OPDS feeds each show their own name — no more wall of identical entries in your OPDS reader; every feed is titled, shelves by their shelf name, searches by the query. Thanks @chloeroform (#750).
- Downloads work for apps and scripts that don't send a browser identifier — some OPDS readers, download managers, and
curl-style tools hit a server error instead of the book. Thanks @AshayK003, who fixed the same crash upstream (janeczku/calibre-web#3668) (#762). - The new interface translates more completely — many menus and whole screens (admin settings, cover picker, advanced search, book editor) stayed English in translated languages because their strings were never collected; they are now. Thanks @standhaftsohnsergius (#719), plus a round of Russian corrections (#740).
- Author names with a comma display correctly — "William H. Keith, Jr." no longer shows a raw
|in the new interface. Reported on Discord by neontapir (#730).
