## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.9 — 2026-09-03

Books imported without ISBNs can finally be repaired.

If you imported your library from a file and your books arrived without ISBNs, the app can now complete them. 
Hand it the same file again: it finds each book by its title, author and year, and gives back its ISBN, publisher and publication year. 
No book is created, nothing you already have is replaced, and the whole thing can be undone in one gesture. 
Rows it cannot identify with certainty are listed, never guessed.

Once the ISBNs are back, covers and summaries return on their own.

The import also recognises more files: columns named EAN, semicolon-separated files, ISBNs turned into scientific notation by a spreadsheet, titles spanning
several lines. And when no ISBN column is recognised, you can now point at it yourself instead of silently losing your ISBNs.

Also fixed: long recipient names overflowed the list when lending a book.

### 1.1.8 — 2026-09-02

- Book details, reworked

The page now leads with one clear primary action for where you are with a book: start reading, lend it, or return it. Admin actions moved into the toolbar menu, long summaries are collapsed instead of pushing your notes off screen, and the dates are grouped under the title.

- Borrowing and buying in one place

The three cards that stayed silent when they had nothing to show are replaced by a single sheet that always answers, including "nobody in your network has this one". A book on your wishlist leads with that.

- Rename your collections

A collection can now be renamed, from its own page or from the collections list. 

- Recently finished on the home screen

Books you have finished now appear above your recent additions, ordered by finish date.

- Targeted metadata filling

Filter your library by what is missing (cover, summary, page count and more) and run the gap fill on just those books.

### 1.1.7 — 2026-08-30

Bug fixes and optimizations.
Cleaner shelves and steadier connections.

- Duplicate books: a new screen in Settings finds duplicates in your library and lets you merge them.
- Backups: the passphrase screen now shows how strong your passphrase is and enforces a minimum length.
- Imports: shared reading lists with accented characters are read correctly, and import labels are translated.
- Sharing: connections to nearby libraries recover reliably after the app comes back from sleep.

### 1.1.6 — 2026-08-29

A book on your wishlist can now point to your public library catalogue and to bookshops.

Connect your library in three steps, pick your shops from the list or add your own.
These are plain links out to their own sites: nothing about you or your books is sent anywhere.

When a book you want sits in a peer's library, a Contact button now sits next to Borrow, so you can reach its owner even when borrowing is not open.

Loan requests are listed newest first.

A book you put down for good can finally be marked as abandoned.

Cover searches say in one line when they come up short, and stop re-asking the same sources at every launch.

Sharing a list from iPhone and iPad works again, page titles no longer hide behind the logo.

### 1.1.5 — 2026-08-27

Improved cover art search by title and author on the book details page.

Bug fixes:
- More reliable publication year
- Added missing accents
- Reading date can now be reset
- Fixed overlap between star ratings and page count on small screens (book details page)
