NOTICE! For everyone but macOS, Version 527 had special update instructions. If you are updating from 526 or earlier, please consult the post here: https://github.com/hydrusnetwork/hydrus/releases/tag/v527

I had a good week working on simple fixes and cleanup before my break.

Full changelog: https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/changelog.html

I also made another future build for v531 here: https://github.com/hydrusnetwork/hydrus/releases/tag/v531-future-1

all misc this week

I fixed editing favourite searches, which I accidentally broke last week!

If you right-click a tag or a file and it has a billion siblings/parents/children/known URLs, the menus now truncate the giga list. Previously, child-heavy tags like pokemon would make a menu that would laggily take up your entire screen. Now it lists about ten items and says '438 more...'.

I fixed the Pixiv parser for guest logins, but it no longer gets the 'original' quality. It seems like they hide this for non-logged-in users now. If you do a lot of Pixiv downloading, figure out a login solution with Hydrus Companion or cookies.txt imports.

If you have some downloaders that were inexplicably halted on 'waiting for a work slot', even after client restart, check them again this week--I cleaned up some bad status reporting.

The Client API gets an overhaul to service info this week. '/get_services' and '/get_files/file_metadata' are affected. If you do Client API work, please check the changelog and the updated help here https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/developer_api.html#services_object . The old method of giving service names and types still works, so nothing breaks today, but it is now deprecated and will be deleted in early 2024. Please plan to move over!

next week

I am now on vacation! I'm off for a week to shitpost not-E3. I'll be back at it in a week, and I want to start pushing on my larger projects again. v532 should be out on the 21st. Thanks for the support everyone!
