# Added
- Added support for PDFs within Kavita. PDFs will open in the Manga reader and you can read through them as images. PDFs are heavier than archives, so they may take longer to open for reading. (Fixes#187)
# Changed
- Changed: Major change in how Kavita libraries work. Kavita libraries will now allow for mixed media types, that means you can have raw images, archives, epubs, and pdfs all within your Manga library. In the case that the same Series exists between 2 different types of medias, they will be separated and an icon will show to help you identify the types. The correct reader will open regardless of what library you are on. Note: Nightly users need to delete their Raw Images libraries before updating.
# Fixed
- Fixed: Fixed an issue where checking if a file was modified since last scan always returned true, meaning we would do more I/O than was needed (Fixes#415)
- Fixed: There wasn't enough spacing on the top menu bar on the Manga reader
- Fixed: Fixed a bug where user preferences dark mode control always showed true, even if you were not using dark mode
# Dev stuff
- For image extraction, if there is only 1 image we will extract just that, else we will extract only images
- Refactored all the Parser code out of the ScannerService into a self contained class. The class should be created for any scans, allowing multiple tasks to run without any chance of cross over.
* Fixed indentation for cs files
* Fixed an issue where the logic for if a file had been modified or not was not working and always saying modified, meaning we were doing more file I/O than needed.
* Implemented the ability to have PDF books. No reader functionality.
* Implemented a basic form of scanning for PDF files. Reworked Image based libraries to remove the need to separate in a special library and instead just work within the Manga/Comic library.
* Removed the old library types.
* Removed some extra code around old raw library types
* Fully implemented PDF support into Kavita by using docnet. Removed old libraries we tried that did not work. PDFs take about 200ms to save the file to disk, so they are much slower than reading archives.
* Refactored Libraries so that they can have any file extension and the UI will decide which reader to use.
* Reworked the Series Parsing code.
We now use a separate instance for each task call, so there should be no cross over if 2 tasks are running at the same time.
Second, we now store Format with the Series, so we can have duplicate Series with the same name, but a different type of files underneath.
* Fixed PDF transparency issues
- Used this code to fix an issue when a PDF page doesn't have a background. https://github.com/GowenGit/docnet/issues/8#issuecomment-538985672
- This also fixes the same issue for cover images
* Fixed an issue where if a raw image was in a directory with non-image files, those would get moved to cache when trying to open the file.
* For image extraction, if there is only 1 image, just copy that to cache instead of everything else in the directory that is an image.
* Add some spacing to the top menu bar
* Added an icon to the card to showcase the type of file
* Added a tag badge to the series detail page
* Fixed a bug in user preferences where dark mode control would default to true, even if you weren't on it
* Fixed some tests up
* Some code smells

* Code cleanup, refactored FileRepository into Unit of Work.
* Added AutoCloseMenu and ReaderMode user perferences to match UI
* Added extra information to ChapterInfo
* Build changes
* Updated the readme to have open collective information and thanks to sponsors
* Fixed an issue with UnitOfWork refactor and how stats was bootsrapped. Replaced stats.kavitareader with a temp url to test out redirection bug.
* Readme refactored to be more clean and clear, taking inspiration from wiki.js's readme.
* Initial backend for Collections and basic metadata implemented.
* More build flavors for Raspberry Pi users and updated Install since we don't need users to set their own JWT Token Key. Update a typo in appsettings.json file for prod.
* Fixed#224. Sort before getting a First?Last() chatper
* The rough ability to add and get series metadata and tags.
* Fix a bug on getting metadata for when it doesn't exist.
* Fixed a bug where flattening directories with some unique filenames could cause reading order of images to be out of order.
* Added a seed code to ensure all series have SeriesMetdata
* Ensure all instances of opening an epub is using "using" so we don't lock the file. When we have a malformed html file, log the issues and inform the user we can't open the file.
* Book reader now handles @Import "" statements in CSS and inlines the css into css file that references them. This allows for them to be scoped. In addition, if the html or body tag had classes, we now send back a single div with those classes.
* Fixed GetSeriesDtoForCollectionAsync which was not properly returning series
* Implemented cover image for collection tag. Fixed an issue in metadata update call.
* Add check for user access when resolving series for a collection tag. When asking for all tags, if the user is not an admin, only give promotoed tags back.
* Implemented updateTag api
* Implemented the ability to update series the tags have access to.
* Cleanup, sorting, and null check
* More sorting changes
* Ensure we can delete tags when editing a series tags
* Fix order of update to make sure a tag is properly deleted
* Code smells
* Added book filetype detection and reorganized tests due to size of file
* Added ability to get basic Parse Info from Book and Pages.
* We can now scan books and get them in a library with cover images.
* Take the first image in the epub if the cover isn't set.
* Implemented the ability to unzip the ebup to cache. Implemented a test api to load html files.
* Just some test code to figure out how to approach this.
* Fixed some merge conflicts
* Removed some dead code from merge
* Snapshot: I can now load everything properly into the UI by rewriting the urls before I send them back. I don't notice any lag from this method. It can be optimized further.
* Implemented a way to load the content in the browser not via an iframe.
* Added a note
* Anchor mappings is complete. New anchors are updated so references now resolve to javascript:void() for UI to take care of internally loading and the appropriate page is mapped to it. Anchors that are external have target="_blank" added so they don't force you out of the app and styles are of course inlined.
* Oops i need this
* Table of contents api implemented (rough) and some small enhancements to codebase for books.
* GetBookPageResources now only loads files from within the book. Nested chapter list support and images now use html parsing instead of string parsing.
* Fonts now are remapped to load from endpoint.
* book-resources now uses a key, ensuring the file is in proper format for lookup. Changed chapter list based on structure with one HEADER and nested chapters.
* Properly handle svg resource requests and when there are part anchors that are clickable, make sure we handle them in the UI by adding a kavita-page handler.
* Add Chapter group page even if one isn't set by using first page (without part) from nestedChildren.
* Added extra debug code for issue #163.
* Added new user preferences for books and updated the css so we scope it to our reading section.
* Cleaned up style code
* Implemented ability to save book preferences and some cleanup on existing apis.
* Added an api for checking if a user has read something in a library type before.
* Forgot to make sure the has reading progress is against a user lol.
* Remove cacheservice code for books, sine we use an in-memory method
* Handle svg images as well
* Enhanced cover image extraction to check for a "cover" image if the cover image wasn't set in OPF before falling back to the first image.
* Fixed an issue with special books not properly generating metadata due to not having filename set.
* Cleanup, removed warmup task code from statup/program and changed taskscheduler to schedule tasks on startup only (or if tasks are changed from UI).
* Code cleanup
* Code cleanup
* So much code. Lots of refactors to try to test scanner service. Moved a lot of the queries into Extensions to allow to easier test, even though it's hacky. Support @font-face src:url swaps with ' and ". Source summary information from epubs.
* Well...baseURL needs to come from BE and not from UI lol.
* Adjusted migrations so default values match Entity
* Removed comment
* I think I finally fixed#163! The issue was that when i checked if it had a parserInfo, i wasn't considering that the chapter range might have a - in it (0-6) and so when the code to check if range could parse out a number failed, it treated it like a special and checked range against info's filename.
* Some bugfixes
* Lots of testing, extracting code to make it easier to test. This code is buggy, but fixed a bug where 1) If we changed the normalization code, we would remove the whole db during a scan and 2) We weren't actually removing series properly.
Other than that, code is being extracted to remove duplication and centralize logic.
* More code cleanup and test cleanup to ensure scan loop is working as expected and matches expectaions from tests.
* Cleaned up the code and made it so if I change normalization, which I do in this branch, it wont break existing DBs.
* Some comic parser changes for partial chapter support.
* Added some code for directory service and scanner service along with python code to generate test files (not used yet). Fixed up all the tests.
* Code smells
