Ubooquity not affected by Log4shell
13 december 2021 General
You might have heard about Log4shell, a critical vulnerability in the widely used Log4j logging library.
Ubooquity does not use this library (logging is done with Logback), so it is not affected by this vulnerability.
Ubooquity 2.1.2
11 october 2018 Release
Ubooquity 2.1.2 is available.
To upgrade, just stop Ubooquity and replace the Ubooquity.jar file.

Ubooquity 2.1.1, minor release
22 september 2017 Release
Ubooquity 2.1.1 is available.
This is a minor release: a few bug fixes and a few very specific features.
To upgrade, just stop Ubooquity and replace the Ubooquity.jar file.
Change log
Bug fixes:
- fixed a bug preventing bookmark saving on Ubooquity server for PDF files shared in the "books" section
- fixed log display issue on administration page
- fixed wrong MIME type for some "folder info" resources
New features:
- prevent Ubooquity from responding to HTTP CONNECT requests
- add FictionBook (FB2) ebook format support
- add Comic Book Info metadata support for CBZ files (with a small variation compared to the specs: Ubooquity expects boolean instead of "YES/NO" in the credits.primary field)
Ubooquity 2.1.0
08 july 2017 Release
Ubooquity 2.1.0 is available.
This is the first 2.x stable version. If you were still using version 1.x, you should now be able to upgrade without taking too big a risk. And in any case, should you need them, previous versions are still available for download.
Change log
(since 2.0.2)
- Fixed PDF wrong MIME type
- Added link to the library on the admin page
- Added public preferences access through user API ( /public-api/preferences )
- Added option to prevent database removal of unavailable root folders
- Added limited support for AZW and AZW3 files
- Added page up/down keyboard shortcut in comics reader
- Modified the bookmark API to include update date in bookmark
If you upgrade from Ubooquity 1.x, read the 2.0.0 release notes, as they contain important information about database and preferences format changes (in a nutshell, you'll have to reconfigure Ubooquity and rescan your collection).
The documentation has also been updated to reflect 2.x modifications.
Ubooquity 2.0.2 BETA
24 april 2017 Release
Ubooquity 2.0.2 is available.
This version fixes bugs found in 2.0.0 thanks to your messages in the forum.
This version is still considered BETA. Wait for 2.1.0 if you want a stable version.
Change log

- Fixed crash at startup on platform where JavaFX library is not available
- Fixed empty, unnecessary page in OPDS feed when total number of items is a multiple of pagination number
- Fixed unreachable folder info resources
- Make web server more resilient to invalid keystore

Improvements:
