HappyPanda X Momo (v1.0.0-alpha.2)

Changes

• Filters will now update properly (still not editable though)
• Added a new profile page
• Note management on the profile page (these are creatable and editable!)
• Fix: similar items now show properly
• Added dedicated pages for metadata and download queues
• Moved plugins from settings to a dedicated page
• Fix: don't reverse reading queue list
• Improved search input
• Implemented some gallery menu items

---

The webclient has been in the process of being rewritten and is therefore incomplete!

These things do not work:

• Editing/adding/downloading items
• other things I probably haven't noticed.... but reading should be working 😎

You will likely get this error: Failed to configure built-in ESearch server, process exit code: 1 also see /data/logs/esearch_stdout.log
This is because the built-in Elasticsearch has been updated. You need to delete the folder bin/<your platform>/elasticsearch, and then re-apply the install.

It's alpha, but don't panic:

• A backup is taken automatically after every upgrade before the application is initialized!
• If you see an empty library page DON'T PANIC! Go to management and click the "Rebuild index" button, then wait up to a minute before you start seeing items again!

Report issues and talk about momo releases here: #270
If you're able to, please help complete the webclient rewrite: https://github.com/happypandax/happypandax/tree/dev/packages/client

HappyPanda X v0.13.3

Changes in this patch release:

Important: If you're upgrading from v0.13.0 or v0.13.1 you might still be getting an error about not being able to start esearch. In that case please delete the bin/[PLATFORM]/elasticsearch folder found where you installed HPX and reinstall this update.

• fixed bottom drawer button in webclient not working
• fixed error occurring when adding galleries (note that galleries were still being added successfully, if they don't show up, please reindex your library)

Hello 😊 it's been a while. I hope you're doing well.

I think you will appreciate this release.

You might also notice that the releases has more than doubled in size. This is because a whole ElasticSearch installation is now also included. This is the cost of wanting everything to be plug and play, please don't mind it.

Highlights

• improved performance across the board 🚀
• Webclient improvements
• Working regex search
• Send galleries to the metadata queue after download 😍 no more manually fetching

HappyPanda X v0.12.4

---

Changes in this patch release:

• fix #175 and #174
• some small tweaks

---

I'm going to be very busy the next couple of months. The next few releases will be bugfixes only.

Because of a change made internally, v0.12 will reset item logs, item configurations, similar gallery suggestions, plugin installation status and whether an item has already fetched metadata successfully.

Because the plugin installation status has been reset, please disable the plugins prior to installing, or it'll result in an error (which is fixable by disabling, then enabling).

Highlights

• The long-awaited downloader has now been added 🎉
• Ratings, read count, favorites, read-later and follow status are all now on a per-user basis 🎉
• Filters are also now on a per-user basis
• Improved webclient UI
• Improved the metadata and import processes
• Something I've wanted for a long time, a browser extension to ease downloading new galleries
• A way to talk to a HPX server over HTTP has been added
• Several new plugins has been created
