Releases · lncrawl/lightnovel-crawler

Admin API: soft restart endpoint for controlled application restarts.
Docker: Compose configuration for running the lncrawl service.
Output formats: JSON export enabled for basic tier users (aligned with tier-based format rules).
Docs / PyPI: README.rst trimmed for the PyPI project page (install-focused) with a link to the full GitHub README; main README updates including web UI screenshots, supported-formats section refresh, DeepWiki and lint badges.

Changed

Enabled formats: get_enabled_formats now returns formats sorted by user tier for stable, predictable ordering in the UI.
Source index generation: timezone-aware “last update” timestamps and clearer handling when language codes are missing from the known set.
Docker: Dockerfile layout refactored and base image setup improved.
Dependencies: pyproject.toml / uv.lock refined (including removal of nodriver and related entries).
Application context / config: refactored for clearer configuration management.
CI: GitHub Actions updated to current Docker actions; submodule update steps removed from workflows where no longer needed.
Linting: extra rules in lint.yml and related formatting cleanups.

Submodules and supported-sources index regenerated multiple times to match current sources and metadata.

v4.0.0

Desktop: Running lncrawl with no subcommand starts the GUI (webview) and local server by default.
Libraries: Library management: create, edit, search, and browse libraries with improved UI and API support.
Accounts & security: User model and verification flow simplified; API tokens for automation; stricter user listing and inactive-user handling.
Jobs & downloads: Artifact file sizes tracked; job cleanup and feedback tooling; content-disposition fixes for downloads.
Crawling: Login support on the crawl command; list sources output format options; site availability checks; cloudscraper integration refactored and updated to track upstream via a git dependency.
Sources: Many sources updated, new indexes, and fixes across languages and templates.

Python: Project and CI target newer Python (3.12+; tooling also tracks 3.14 where applicable).
Dependencies: uv is the supported way to install and sync the project (uv.lock).
Docker & CI: Smaller images, workflow updates (e.g. Astral uv setup), improved release and PyPI publish flows; PyInstaller builds refined (including Windows no-console option).
License: GPLv3 (see repository license and terms/privacy docs where applicable).

License changed from MIT to GPLv3 — review if you redistribute or embed the app.
CLI default: No subcommand no longer “does nothing”; it opens the GUI — use explicit subcommands (crawl, server, config, etc.) for scripting.
Tooling: Expect uv and updated Makefile/pyproject workflows instead of legacy pip install -r requirements.txt flows.
Scraper: Built-in proxy management was removed; adjust any custom proxy setup accordingly.

Linting uses black, isort, and flake8; make lint and CI align with the new layout.
Alembic migrations and artifact schema changes (e.g. file size column) — run migrations when upgrading existing databases.
