Implements configurable Audible region selection in setup and admin settings, affecting all Audible API calls and triggering data refresh on change. Adds a user-facing 'Change Password' modal in the header for local users, moving password change from admin-only to all local users via a new /api/auth/change-password endpoint. Updates documentation, API routes, and context to support these features, and removes the old admin-only password change flow.
Replaces scattered console statements with a unified RMABLogger across backend API routes and services. Adds LOG_LEVEL-based filtering, job-aware database persistence, and context-based logging. Updates documentation to describe the new logging system and usage patterns. Also documents qBittorrent CSRF header fix
Implements optional filesystem scan triggering for Plex and Audiobookshelf after file organization, with new settings in the admin UI, setup wizard, and API. Updates documentation to reflect scan trigger options and improved file organization/cleanup logic. Refactors dropdown menus to use smart positioning and portals for better UX. Adds a version API route and a VersionBadge component to display build info in the header. Updates Docker build to inject version metadata.
Added automatic chapter merging to M4B with admin/config toggles, UI controls, and backend logic. Updated documentation to reflect implementation. Refactored ranking algorithm: increased Title/Author match points, removed size scoring, and improved Usenet/torrent handling. Enhanced Prowlarr integration for protocol detection and filtering. Improved file organizer to support chapter merging. Various bug fixes and logging improvements.
Introduces optional e-book sidecar downloads from Anna's Archive, including admin UI, settings API, FlareSolverr integration, and documentation. Enhances request creation logic to prevent duplicate downloads by checking for 'downloaded' and 'available' statuses, updates UI to reflect processing state, and adds SABnzbd support to download and cleanup flows. Also updates ranking algorithm documentation and improves cache invalidation for recent requests.
Introduces SABnzbd as a supported download client for Usenet/NZB alongside qBittorrent, including service implementation, setup wizard and admin settings UI updates, and protocol-specific job processor logic. Updates documentation, PRD, and database schema to support NZB downloads, adds comprehensive technical details and testing strategies, and fixes Audible integration issues related to search and ASIN extraction.
Implements configurable indexer flag bonuses/penalties for torrent ranking, including UI for admin settings and support in ranking-algorithm. Adds an option to disable SSL certificate verification for qBittorrent connections (for self-signed certs), with UI in both setup and admin settings, and persists the setting. Updates documentation, API routes, and ranking logic to support these features. Also includes minor UI improvements and bug fixes.
Implements remote-to-local path mapping for qBittorrent downloads, allowing the app to handle differing filesystem paths between qBittorrent and the local environment (e.g., remote seedboxes, Docker). Adds UI controls in admin settings and setup wizard, validates mapping configuration, and applies path transformation in download and import processors. Updates documentation, API routes, and data models to support the new feature. Also improves library scan logic to remove stale records and reset orphaned audiobooks and requests. Increases minimum torrent score threshold from 30 to 50 in search and ranking logic, and exposes torrent source URLs in the admin UI.
Adds soft-delete support for local users, including backend, API, and UI changes to allow admins to delete local users while preserving their requests. Updates user queries to exclude deleted users and allows username reuse for deleted accounts. Refines search and ranking logic for torrents: uses title-only queries for broader results, increases max results to 100, applies a minimum score threshold (30/100), and logs detailed ranking breakdowns. Updates the ranking algorithm to prioritize title/author match, adjusts scoring weights, and improves BookDate compatibility with Audiobookshelf by disabling rating-based features when unsupported. Enhances file copy operations for large files, improves metadata tagging, and updates documentation to reflect new search and ranking strategies.
Adds detection of local users for authentication validation and login, prevents role changes for OIDC users, and clarifies user management UI. Enhances active downloads API to include speed and ETA from qBittorrent, and improves file path handling in download monitoring. Also updates torrent tagging and user info returned by APIs.
Implements admin ability to delete requests with soft delete, media file cleanup, and seeding-aware torrent management. Adds new API endpoint, frontend confirmation dialog, and request actions dropdown. Updates database schema with deletedAt and deletedBy fields, and ensures all queries filter out deleted requests. Documentation added for feature and user flow.
Root cause: Singleton caching issue
The qBittorrent service uses a singleton pattern with a configLoaded flag.
Once initialized, it NEVER re-reads the database config, even when the
user changes settings via the admin settings page.
Flow showing the bug:
1. Wizard saves download_dir to database ✓
2. First torrent: service reads config, creates singleton, sets configLoaded=true ✓
3. User changes download_dir in settings page ✓ (database updated)
4. Next torrent: getQBittorrentService() returns CACHED singleton ✗
5. Cached singleton has OLD download_dir value in this.defaultSavePath ✗
6. Category check shows "already has correct save path: /old/path" ✗
7. Download goes to wrong location ✗
The singleton check (line 745):
if (!qbittorrentService || !configLoaded) {
// Only runs if service doesn't exist or config failed
}
Once both exist, this block is SKIPPED forever!
Fix:
1. Added invalidateQBittorrentService() function
- Resets qbittorrentService = null
- Resets configLoaded = false
- Forces reload from database on next use
2. Call invalidation from settings APIs:
- After updating paths (download_dir, media_dir)
- After updating download client (URL, credentials)
3. Next torrent addition:
- getQBittorrentService() sees null singleton
- Re-reads config from database
- Creates new service with current download_dir
- Category updated with correct path
Benefits:
- Settings changes take effect immediately
- No app restart needed
- Category save path always matches current config
- Download client credentials always current
Updated documentation to explain singleton invalidation pattern.
Added /cache, /redis, and /pgdata to .gitignore to prevent committing local data directories. Updated the admin settings API to also mask values for keys containing 'secret' in addition to other sensitive keys.
