Ubooquity 3.1.0

18 august 2025    Release


Ubooquity 3.1.0 is available, this is the first stable version of Ubooquity v3 !

Download Ubooquity

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 
To activate this automatic backup, add the "databaseBackupFolder" parameter in your preference file (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.
