Hi to any new subscribers :)

!

Kaizoku is a nice self-hosted application that runs mangal in the backend to download Mangas from multiple sources. It can set up reoccurring tasks to check for running mangas and download new episodes automatically.

It has a Kavita integration where it can tell kavita that there is a new manga in the library and it should rescan and get it's metadata.

It works really fast and works with the most common Manga sources online.

A reader bug slipped through release testing, so here's a hotfix for everyone.

The full release can be found here.
