vavallee/bindery v0.2.0

v0.2.0 — Full Readarr feature parity

on GitHub

🎉 Major feature release — full Readarr feature parity

This release brings Bindery to functional parity with Readarr, adding every meaningful feature from the archived upstream project plus modern conveniences.

New features

Core automation

• Auto-grab wired up — scheduler now submits NZBs to SABnzbd automatically every 12h
• Quality profile enforcement in search result ranking
• History event tracking (grab / import / failure) with inline error details
• Library scan DB reconciliation — existing files on disk matched to wanted books

Protocol & client expansion

• Torznab indexer support for torrents (alongside Usenet)
• qBittorrent download client (WebUI API with cookie auth)
• Webhook notifications — configurable per-event triggers
• Blocklist — prevents re-grabbing failed releases

Library management

• Series API + UI page with position-in-series display
• Calendar page for upcoming book releases
• Blocklist management page with bulk delete
• Metadata profiles (filter by language, popularity, pages, ISBN)
• Delay profiles (wait for higher-quality releases)
• Custom formats (regex-based release scoring)
• Import lists + exclusions
• Tag system for scoping indexers/profiles to authors
• Backup/restore (SQLite snapshots)

Metadata

• Hardcover.app metadata provider (GraphQL API)
• Improved OpenLibrary integration — uses /authors/{key}/works.json for accurate book fetching (was noisy name-based search)
• Author search shows top work, book count, and ratings for disambiguation

UX improvements

• Pagination on all list pages (Books, Authors, Wanted, History, Blocklist) with configurable page size
• 'Downloaded' status filter + cyan badge on Books page
• Error visibility in Queue (active) and History (permanent)
• Search, filter, and sort on Authors and Books pages
• Logo in header with home link
• Enhanced Settings UI (Notifications, Quality, Metadata, General tabs)
• High-res favicon

Operations

• API key authentication middleware (X-Api-Key header)
• Settings API (CRUD for key-value config)
• Faster CI — collapsed from 7 sequential jobs to a single ~2min job
• Version/commit baked into Docker image via build-time ldflags

What's NOT included (intentional)

• GoodReads integration (dead API — this is what killed Readarr)
• Built-in updater (Helm/ArgoCD handles this)
• Multi-user auth (reverse proxy auth is better)
