Ubooquity 3.1.0
18 august 2025 Release
Ubooquity 3.1.0 is available, this is the first stable version of Ubooquity v3 !
The most important features (Java 17 requirement, theme system, database changes, reading progress...) have been part of version 3.0.0, so you can find related information in the version 3.0.0 BETA announcement post.
Here is what changed since version 3.0.0.
Features
- made duplicate logging optional (as it is very CPU intensive)
- added optional auto database backup upon collection scan
preferences-2.json), after having stopped your Ubooquity instance.Example:
"databaseBackupFolder" : "D:/Tom/ub-backup-folder"Each time a scan is launched, Ubooquity will backup the database file, creating the file
ubooquity-db-backup-1.zip. If the backup file already exists when the scan is launched, it is first renamed to ubooquity-db-backup-2.zip, so you have the last two version of your database backed up.Bug fixes and improvements
- fixed sorting issue
- fixed OPDS issue
- fixed page reader bug that prevented closing when reading book from the 'latest' section
- fixed JBig2 issue and upgraded PDFBox to version 3
- improved session cookie security
- fixed wrong parent URL in library
- fixed a bug preventing the sharing of folder having similar partial names
- fixed wrong publication date field taken from ComicInfo.xml (needs a database rebuild for the data to be fixed)
- fixed cbz files downloaded as cbz.zip files on Android
