v63 changelog (Patreon)

Since there have been no new major bug reports, it's time to start work on v63! 🔨 ✍

🚨 As usual I remember to Premium members that you can find here on Patreon the nightly builds posts where you'll can download the nightly versions which will already include the new features/bugfixes listed below 👍

Nightly build (2024-01-29):

The function for saving preferences has been completely rewritten again, this should fix the bug where preferences were not restored correctly in case of an error in checking the Patreon license.

Added a preliminary support for lezhinus.com.  Please note that there are still some limitations:1) You can download only free chapters (I don't have any premium account to test with purchased content).2) For hentai contents you need a valid account to access them. You can import your cookies (after you logged in with your web browser) using the MD Assistant extension and the specific function you can find in the Edit menu of the program.3) For each page present in a chapter the program will have to make one additional request to the server API to obtain the keys necessary to obtain permissions to access the files on the server, so if a chapter contains hundreds of pages this will take a long time (and the program will stay on "Getting pages list..." for a long time) and this could lead the server to block/ban your IP because of a misinterpreted DDoS attack: please be careful and always remember that I take no responsibility for any ban of your accounts, forewarned is forearmed.4) Some chapters have their pages saved as scrambled images on their servers and the program currently will download them as they are. I still have to understand what function they use to decrypt the images, so for now the program is not able to rebuild them sorry.

Nightly build (2024-02-04):

Fixed the support for Batoto v2x (#818)

Fixed the support for Manhuascan (#817)

Fixed the support for Mangapill (#819)

Nightly build (2024-03-04):

Changed the domains of Mangaworld and Mangaworldadult (#820)

Fixed the support for ComicWalker (#821)

Nightly build (2024-03-14):

Fixed a bug in the bookmarks system with the timer at fixed rate which was broken. Now you can set again checks/downloads of new chapters with schedules at fixed rate.

Nightly build (2024-03-28):

Changed the domain for manga18fx

Fixed the support for Lezhin: now the program can identify if an image of a page is scrambled and it uses the original JavaScript function to decrypt and recreate it correctly!

Fixed a bug with the Bookmarks mode where the user-agent header wasn't correctly applied to web requests, leading some websites (such as Manga18.club) to give 403 errors while downloading new chapters available for a manga.

Note: since I finally managed to complete the support for Lezhin with the function to decrypt images after weeks of study and attempts, in the first week of April I plan to make the public release of v63 for everyone 👍 This means that, barring any new issues, this should be the last nightly build for v63.

Also, I take this opportunity to wish Happy Easter to all people who celebrate it 🕊
