  • Now the program will add a 3 digits 0-padding to the pages filenames, so now they should be shown ordered properly with any reader app.
  • Recoded the updater system: now it's an external JAR that will check and download new versions directly, so that the user will not have to download the new versions manually from the website in future!
  • Fixed a bug with the GUI.
  • Fixed some bugs in the Italian translation.
  • Added the Credits section.
  • Possibility to download any chapter for any manga existing on the MangaDex website.
