Contributor Credit

Thanks to @HrBingR for contributing rTorrent digest authentication support in #30.

Full Changes

• 62661e4 Added option to enable digest authentication for rtorrent users (#30)
• 079f20b document RTORRENT_DIGEST_AUTH in README and .env.example
• d0c1b02 better QB logging

v0.9.6

Highlights

• Added result sorting options in the UI.
• Transmission client improvements for compatibility, category
  behavior, and add-flow reliability.
• Refreshed with a new logo (and some fun animations).
• Polished multiple UI details.

Issues/Requests Addressed

• #19 Feature Request: Add torrent with Forced Resume in qBittorrent
  • Added QB_FORCE_START support to force-start newly added torrents in
    qBittorrent (this bypasses any queue restrictions that might apply to the new torrent).
• #18 Categories in Transmission
  • Improved Transmission category handling, including category-based download
    directory behavior and related path mapping. Transmission does not handle subfolders for its labels/categories, so MouseSearch now does this by default, putting torrents into a subfolder in the Transmission download folder matching the label/category name.
• #21 Sort search results options now available.

Changed

• Transmission integration overhaul
  • Better support for both legacy RPC and JSON-RPC style responses/method
    formats.
  • Automatic RPC mode fallback handling.
  • Improved torrent add flow (including binary/metainfo adds), returning hash
    when available.
  • Better category handling for Transmission by computing per-category
    download directories.
  • Better remote-to-local path mapping when showing torrent save paths.
• Download/add flow updates
  • Add responses now include hash more consistently, improving immediate
    status polling.
  • MID resolution can now fall back to local metadata when needed.
• UI polish
  • New logo (static + animated states).
  • Destination path row behavior adjusted (remove button behavior
    simplified).

Fixed

• Improved search jump/scroll positioning
• Improved Transmission tracker error visibility:
  • Tracker errors surfaced in UI status display.
  • Warning toasts triggered when tracker errors change.
• Added additional logging around auto-organize success/details for easier
  troubleshooting.

v0.9.5

v0.9.5

This update introduces improved organization features, including multiple destination support and automated Freeleech wedge management. I've also added haptic feedback for a more native-feeling web experience, and improved background task reliability.

New Features

Multi-Destination Auto-Organization

You can now define multiple root destination paths in Settings.

• Media-Type Mapping: Assign specific paths as defaults for Audiobooks, E-Books, Musicology, or Radio (the basic MAM categories).
• Resolves: #15

Automated Freeleech Management

• Auto-Wedge Purchase: New option to automatically attempt to spend a personal Freeleech wedge when a download is added.
• Resolves: #20

Enhanced Search & Filtering

• Hide Downloaded: A new toggle in the Advanced Search offcanvas allows you to filter out results that are already snatched or present in your torrent client.
• Series Number Token: Use {SeriesNumber} in your path templates to support folder structures like Author/Series/Series #1 - Title.
• Resolves: #16

Haptic Feedback

• Added haptics to provide tactile feedback for UI interactions.

---

Improvements & Fixes

• Scheduler Reliability: Added a misfire_grace_time to all background jobs (VIP checks, Bonus purchases, IP updates). This prevents "Job Missed" warnings when the server is under heavy load or momentarily suspended.
  • Resolves: #17
• Metadata Inspector: Added a Series entry to the book details layout for better visibility.

New Environment Variables

# Attempt to purchase a personal FL wedge before each download
AUTO_BUY_PERSONAL_FL_ON_DOWNLOAD=false

# Enable/Disable frontend haptic feedback
HAPTICS_ENABLED=true

v0.9.4

MouseSearch v0.9.4

Release scope: changes from v0.9.1 to v0.9.4.

Highlights

• Advanced Search was overhauled into a dedicated off-canvas workflow with
  clearer grouping and better filter visibility.
• You can now save current advanced filters as defaults and persist them in
  config.
• qBittorrent add flow is more reliable: MouseSearch now downloads .torrent
  files itself and uploads raw torrent data to qB. This avoids authentication issues if QBittorrent is hosted elsewhere than MouseSearch.
• Category handling was improved, including better main-category/subcategory
  synchronization.
• You can now increase max number of results returned per page (check README.md)

What Changed

Advanced Search and Filters

• Refactored Advanced Search UI into modular off-canvas components.
• Added richer filter controls and better organization (fields, language,
  status/scope, categories, flags, ranges).
• Added filter counters/badges for overall and per-section visibility.
• Added support for additional search fields:
  • search_in_description
  • search_in_tags
  • search_in_filenames
• Added server route to persist defaults: POST /update_default_search_filters.
• Added normalization/validation for saved search filter defaults in config
  loading.

Category Management

• Introduced updated category definition handling (new + legacy sources).
• Improved mapping logic between subcategories and main categories.
• Selecting subcategories now better enforces/aligns corresponding main
  categories.
• Improved subcategory labels and placeholder behavior in the advanced filter
  UI.

Torrent Add / qBittorrent Reliability

• MouseSearch now fetches torrent bytes from MAM and uploads multipart torrent
  data directly to qBittorrent.
• Added torrent hash calculation from raw torrent bytes as part of the qB
  upload path.
• Reduced inappropriate coupling to AUTO_ORGANIZE gates in add/monitor flow
  (progress handling is less blocked by auto-organize settings).

⚡ Improved Download Workflow & Freeleech Access

• Example: DEFAULT_RELATIVE_PATH_TEMPLATE={Author}/{Series}/{Title}

New Features

File Operation Mode: Copy vs. Hardlink

Added the ability to choose how files are organized. While hardlinking remains the default (saving space), you can now choose to Copy files instead.

• Why? helpful for users organizing files across different file systems or drives where hardlinks are not supported.
• How? Toggle in Settings > File Operation Mode or set AUTO_ORGANIZE_USE_COPY=true in your .env.
• Credit: Huge thanks to @Serotonin7 for contributing this feature! (Commit 7289019)

Media Info Inspector

• Added a new Media Info dropdown in the Book Details modal.
• Displays all of the information that MAM makes available via API from MediaInfo in a structured, collapsible JSON tree.
  • NOTE: MAM does not make all MediaInfo available via API; MouseSearch will display all that is available via the API.
• Helpful for inspecting audio tracks, codecs, chapter structure, and other file properties directly in the UI.
• Solves #10

Version Awareness

• The current app version is now displayed in the page footer for easier tracking.
• closes #4

Bug Fixes & Improvements

  • fixes #8
• UI Navigation: Fixed settings closing bug on Firefox browsers.
  • fixes #7
• Visual Tweaks: made some minor visual improvements.

Configuration Changes

New optional setting in .env:

# Enable this to have MouseSearch copy files instead of hardlinking them
