* Navigate users to library page instead of home to prevent history block. * Cleaned up the Contributing to describe new code structure * Fixed a critical bug for how we find files for a chapter download (use ChapterId for lookup, not MangaFile.Id). Refactored how downloading works on the UI side to use the backend's filename whenever possible, else provide a custom name (and use backend's extension) for bundled downloads. * Fixed a bug where scroll intersection wasn't working on books without a table of content, even though it should have. * If user is using a direct url and hits an authentication guard, cache the url, allow authentication, then redirect them to said url * Added a transaction for bookmarking due to a rare case (in dev machines) where bookmark progress can duplicate * Re-enabled webtoon preference in reader settings. Refactored gotopage into it's own, dedicated handler to simplify logic. * Moved the prefetching code to occur whenever the page number within infinite scroller changes. This results in an easier to understand functioning. * Fixed isElementVisible() which was not properly calculating element visibility * GoToPage going forwards is working as expected, going backwards is completly broken * After performing a gotopage, make sure we update the scrolling direction based on the delta. * Removed some stuff thats not used, split the prefetching code up into separate functions to prepare for a rewrite. * Reworked prefetching to ensure we have a buffer of pages around ourselves. It is not fully tested, but working much better than previous implementation. Will be enhanced with DOM Pruning. * Cleaned up some old cruft from the backend code * Cleaned up the webtoon page change handler to use setPageNum, which will handle the correct prefetching of next/prev chapter * More cleanup around the codebase * Refactored the code to use a map to keep track of what is loaded or not, which works better than max/min in cases where you jump to a page that doesn't have anything preloaded and loads images out of order * Fixed a bad placement of code for when you are unauthenticated, the code will now redirect to the original location you requested before you had to login. * Some cleanup. Fixed the scrolling issue with prev page, spec seems to not work on intersection observer. using 0.01 instead of 0.0.

Demo
If you want to try out Kavita, we have a demo up: https://demo.kavitareader.com/
Username: demouser
Password: Demouser64
Setup
Non-Docker
- Unzip the archive for your target OS
- Place in a directory that is writable. If on windows, do not place in Program Files
- Linux users must ensure the directory & kavita.db is writable by Kavita (might require starting server once)
- Run Kavita
- If you are updating, do not copy appsettings.json from the new version over. It will override your TokenKey and you will have to reauthenticate on your devices.
Docker
Running your Kavita server in docker is super easy! Barely an inconvenience. You can run it with this command:
docker run --name kavita -p 5000:5000 \
-v /your/manga/directory:/manga \
-v /kavita/data/directory:/kavita/data \
--restart unless-stopped \
-d kizaing/kavita:latest
You can also run it via the docker-compose file:
version: '3.9'
services:
kavita:
image: kizaing/kavita:latest
volumes:
- ./manga:/manga
- ./data:/kavita/data
ports:
- "5000:5000"
restart: unless-stopped
Note: Kavita is under heavy development and is being updated all the time, so the tag for current builds is :nightly. The :latest tag will be the latest stable release. There is also the :alpine tag if you want a smaller image, but it is only available for x64 systems.
