The best way for reading your comics

New version of the iOS app. It includes a new panel by panel reading mode and lots of improvements that enhance the reading experience:

This is what's new:

• Read comics are open from the beginning instead of the last page.
• Continuous horizontal scroll mode.
• Double tap for zooming, there is a setting to toggle it.
• Share/save current page.
• Panel by panel reading, it can be enabled from the crop settings or when zooming into a page, it includes some options to control its behaviour. Only available for iOS14+. I will iterate over this feature in future releases, so please, get in touch if it doesn't work as you expect.
• Make \"Go to page\" view work with continuous scroll mode.
• Setting for enabling the use of metadata as comics title.
• Slider to control the horizontal margins while reading in vertical continuous scroll mode. Adjusting this value will make super tall webtoons look better.
• Tweaked some animations in the reader.
• Increased max page resolution in some situations.
• Layout tweaks for larger screens.
• Fixed current page tracking in continuous scroll modes.
• Fixed library layout when super tall comics are found.
• Fixed small jump when the options are shown while reading (only happened when the page was zoomed in).
• Fixed reading order in imported reading lists.
• Fixed some light/dark themes colors.
• Fixes and stability improvements.

NOTE: if you have experienced problems with webtoons, please make sure to update to YACReaderLibrary 9.9.1 and regenerate your libraries, you could also need to re-import your files.

I am glad to announce a new release, check the new features:
YACReader

• Adds support for full manga mode, it means that controls get inverted to match the navigation.
• Fix UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT shortcuts for moving a zoomed in page around.

YACReaderLibrary

• New fuzzy search engine. Type to search into any field of the database, or target specific content. Check how it works below.
• New `manga` field added to comics and folders to tag content as manga, any content added to a manga folder will become manga automatically.
• Support for HTML in comic synopsis, this fixes the synopsis when it comes from Comic Vine with HTML tags.
• Improve keyboard navigation in Comic Vine dialog. Enter will trigger next or search and Backspace will go back to the previous section.

Server

• New `manga` field is sent to YACReader for iOS, so comics tagged as manga will be recognized as such when reading remotely or importing comics. A new iOS build is needed though, it will be ready once 9.8.0 is released.

New search engine

The new search engine is much powerful than before. It can search into the following data base fields:

comics
numbers -> "numpages", "number", "count", "arcnumber", "arccount"
text -> "title", "volume", "storyarc", "genere", "writer", "penciller", "inker", "colorist", "letterer", "coverartist", "publisher", "format", "agerating", "synopsis", "characters", "notes"
boolean (true/false) -> "isbis", "color", "read", "manga"
text -> "filename"

folders
text -> "folder"
boolean -> "completed", "finished"

If you start typing, YACReaderLibrary will search all the fields for any match. If you want to specify some fields you can do it writing the field name followed by ":" and the value.

By default words separated by a space are joined by an "and", e.g. this that -> this and that.

Some examples:

I hope you enjoy the new update. Please, if you like YACReader consider to become a patron in Patreon or donate some money using Pay-Pal and help keeping the project alive. Remember that there is an iOS version available in the Apple App Store and it has been updated to support the new features coming from the server.

I want to thank all the contributions to the project, there has been some nice activity on Github and all the new stuff wouldn't be possible without the people that have decided to get involved in the project. THANKS!!

New features are:

• Image enlargement/stretching can now be disabled for fit to width and height
• New option to show covers as single pages in double page mode (enabled by default)
• fix object leaks in database code
• add bidirectional sync support between the iOS app and the server (YACReader for iOS 3.10.0 or higher needed, it will be released next)
• add support for port setting from the command line
• other minor fixes and improved stability and performance.

Any feedback is always welcome.
