Velocity5.0

Self-hosted media server for comics, manga and ebooks

Komga's fourth NextUI beta adds bulk editing and remembers your filters.

◆Current state
Komga ships every one to two weeks, and nearly all feature work lands in NextUI, the rewritten web interface at /next. 1.30.0 brings its fourth beta: editing several series or books at once, reordering read lists and collections, and persisted filters, sort and library sub-views. HTTP sessions now default to database storage. The patches in between fixed page counts, KOReader hashes and NextUI navigation.
◆Where it's heading
Each NextUI beta closes a gap with the old interface: metadata editing in the second, contextual navigation in the third, bulk editing and list organization in the fourth. Notable Entities metadata in 1.29 already exists only in NextUI, so the new interface is becoming the place where features appear first.
◆Prediction
The remaining gaps look small enough that a later 1.3x release may make NextUI the default interface. Until then, expect more betas every few weeks with patch releases between them.

    Fourth NextUI beta adds bulk editing and saved filters

    The fourth NextUI beta adds the library-maintenance tools the rewrite lacked: bulk edits for series and books, reordering inside read lists and collections, and filters and sort that survive a reload. It is the biggest step yet toward NextUI matching the old interface.

    Third NextUI beta adds contextual navigation

    The third NextUI beta adds contextual navigation: moving to the previous or next book in a series or read list, filters that follow context, and showing which collections a book belongs to. It makes the new interface usable for reading sessions, not just browsing.
