At its first release this application supported the following 3 manga sources: MangaDex.org, Bato.to and MangaEden.com.
In other words you can see this application as a replacement for the other manga downloader tools I made in the past years: MangaDex Downloader, Batoto Downloader and Eden Batch Downloader.

Mantaining one single application will be easier for me and will allow more frequent and efficient updates. Furthermore, it is not excluded that support will also be added to new manga sources websites in the future.

From v2.0 onwards has been introduced the support for several new websites and so to date this program supports over 50 websites! This is the full list (in alphabetical order): 1stkissmanga.io, 4uview.com, ac.qq.com, agcscanlation.it, aineteam.it, arenascan.com, asuracomic.net, bato.to/series, bato.to/title, batotoo.com/series, batotoo.com/title, batotwo.com/series, batotwo.com/title, battwo.com/series, battwo.com/title, bentomanga.com, bilibili.com, bilibilicomics.com, chapmanganato.to, coffeemanga.io, coloredmanga.net, comic-days.com, comic-meteor.jp, comic-ryu.jp, comic-walker.com, comic.naver.com, comic.pixiv.net, comic.webnewtype.com, comicborder.com, comicbushi-web.com, comicextra.net, comick.io, comiconlinefree.net, comiko.net/series, comiko.net/title, coolmic.me, daonovel.com, delitoon.com, dynasty-scans.com, fanfox.net, fascans.com, flamecomics.com, flamescans.org, ganma.jp, genkan.io, godamanga.art, hentai2read.com, hiperdex.top, hto.to/series, hto.to/title, juinjutsureader.ovh, jundo.it, kaliscan.com, klmag.net, komikindo.co, komiku.com, kuragebunch.com, leviatanscans.com, lezhinus.com, lhtranslation.net, likemanga.io, lilymanga.net, lupiteam.net, manga-park.com, manga1000.top, manga18.club, manga18fx.com, manga18sx.com, manga4life.com, mangabat.com, mangabox.me, mangaclash.com, mangadex.org, mangaeden.com, mangafoxfull.com, mangahere.cc, mangajar.com, mangakakalot.com, mangakatana.com, mangakik.net, mangalib.me, manganato.com, manganelo.com, manganelos.com, mangapark.net, mangapark.org, mangapill.com, mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp, mangareader.to, mangasee123.com, mangasy.com, mangatoon.mobi, mangatoread.com, mangatoto.com/series, mangatoto.com/title, mangatx.com, mangaworld.ac, mangaworldadult.net, mangax1.com, manhua.dmzj.com, manhuaplus.com, manhuascan.com, manhuascan.io, manhwa18.cc, manhwa18.com, manhwatop.com, merakiscans.com, mreader.co, mto.to/series, mto.to/title, mymangarelease.com, nightcomic.com, nightscans.net, novelleleggere.com, onepiecepower.info, page.kakao.com, pianmanga.com, powermanga.org, ramaorientalfansub.tv, ramareader.it, rawdevart.com, read-nifteam.info, readcomiconline.li, readmanganato.com, readtoto.com/series, readtoto.com/title, readtoto.net/series, readtoto.net/title, readtoto.org/series, readtoto.org/title, reaperscans.com, scyllascans.org, sensescans.com, shingekinoshoujo.it, shonenjumpplus.com, shonenmagazine.com, summanga.com, tappytoon.com, templescan.net, tonarinoyj.jp, toonily.com, tumanga.net, tuttoanimemanga.net, unionleitor.top, visortmo.com, wdscans.com, webtoon.xyz, webtoons.com, xbato.com/series, xbato.com/title, xbato.net/series, xbato.net/title, xbato.org/series, xbato.org/title, yaoiefujoshiclubscan.it, zbato.com/series, zbato.com/title, zbato.net/series, zbato.net/title, zbato.org/series, zbato.org/title, zinmanga.com.

The program also supports some generic and famous frameworks, which means that all the websites created using these frameworks can be used with this program even if they are not between the officially supported ones! This is the list of supported generic frameworks: Foolslide, My Manga Reader CMS, Wordpress (Basic), Wordpress Manga (Madara), Coreview, Genkan, Flat Manga, Cruzers, Pizza Reader, Madara clone (No wordpress), Manga Stream

1. Install (or update) JDK and reboot your PC (very important to set the environment variables correctly!).
   
   
2. Download the ZIP package from the button above in this page and extract it with your favorite archive manager (usually there is always one pre-installed in any operating system).
   
   
3. Run the JAR executable:
   
   
   • On Windows: usually just double-clicking on it should be enough but if this does not work then right-click on the JAR file, choose the “Open with” option and select “JAVA(TM) Platform SE binary”.
     Note: you can launch the JAR executable also from a cmd window with the same command of Unix/Mac below!
     
     
   • On Unix distros or Mac: open a terminal window in the same folder where is the JAR file and type the following command:

     java -jar MangaDownloader.jar

Starting from v50 you can set custom options/parameters for the JVM when launching the program. To do it you have to open the vmoptions.txt file (that should be created automatically at first startup in the same folder where is the main executable of the program) and add the custom options/parameters in the file (only one for line).

You can report any bugs or issues, as well as suggestions for enhancements and proposals, using the project's official page on GitHub.

• Fixed a bug with the “Download new chapters” function in the Bookmarks view.

• Fixed (again…) support for Webtoons

• Improved concurrency management when creating the output folder for chapters: in the past, it could happen that two or more chapters would attempt to create the output folder at the same time, causing one of them to fail and return an error. This should no longer occur.
• Improved the assignment management of different frameworks at the code level in the program.
• Fixed a bug in the quality settings of pages downloaded from Webtoons: with the new framework used in v64.4, it was no longer possible to select a quality other than “web”. Now it is possible again.
• Fixed support for ComicWalker.
• Fixed a bug in the user-agent setting during GET requests: this caused incompatibility with imported cookies on various sites, such as Hiperdex or ComicWalker.
• Added a new method to bypass the 500 http error on Lezhin.
• Added a couple of missing Italian translations.

• Fixed a compatibility issue with the new version of the Jsoup lib and Batoto.
• Fixed support for webtoons.com
• Improved support for webtoons.com: the program now supports reading the complete chapter list, fetching from all available pages on the site.
• Added a new option in the Extra menu for Webtoons for those who want to load only the first page of a manga’s chapter list (perhaps because they are only interested in the latest released chapters and want to speed up the process of acquiring the chapter list).
• Fixed a couple of minor generic bugs

• Added support for templescan.net
• Updated the Jsoup library to the latest available version; this should resolve issues and compatibility with websites that have poorly written or erroneous HTML code, such as Coffeemanga.io

• Added support for manhuaplus.org
• Added a check with a corresponding alert for all those sites that require JDK v22 to work (such as Batoto, Mangapark, etc…).

• Fixed (again) support for asuracomics.net

• The preferences system has been completely rewritten:
  • All program settings are now saved to (and loaded from) a local file (settings.dat).
  • This prevents preferences from being reset or erased due to updates to new versions of the JVM or JRE/JDK.
  • Bypasses Windows-imposed limitations for saving data in the system registry (e.g., maximum string length limits).
  • Simplifies moving the program from one PC to another while retaining all saved settings by copying the settings.dat file.
• An automatic function has been created at program startup to perform the migration between the old and new preferences systems in the background, aiming to preserve previously saved settings.
• The functions (and menu entries) for backing up preferences to a file have been removed, as settings are now saved to an external file by default.
  • Note: The function for restoring preferences from a file has been retained for compatibility with preferences backed up using the old system.
• Fixed support for the Comik website and updated the domain to the new one.
• Fixed support for Mangaplus and its new API system.
• Updated the protobuf library to support the new Mangaplus APIs.
• Updated the FlatLaf library to the latest version, resulting in improved, more modern, and visually appealing JVM themes.
• Added support for 48 extra new JVM themes.
• Added a white variant for the program icons and an option in the Edit menu to switch between black and white icons.
• Added a new function in the bookmarks view to download all chapters of the manga currently in bookmarks and never downloaded before.
• Updated the domain for hiperdex.top
• Added support for visortmo.com
• Added support for ramaorientalfansub.tv
• Added support for kaliscan.com.
• Completely rewritten support for coloredmanga.net.
• Added support for tappytoon.com.
• Added the ability to download purchased content from Lezhinus.com
• Added a system to display a warning message when trying to load manga from websites with restrictions or specific configurations (currently Lezhin and Tappytoon).
• Fixed support for Mangapark v5x (now it should download only the chapters' pages without extra garbage images)
• Fixed a compatibility bug between GraalVM and JDK 22 that caused the program to hang on the “Getting pages list…” function
• Fixed a bug with the new function in the bookmarks view to download all missing chapters that did not flag them as already downloaded for the classical function to download only new chapters (and they got downloaded again)
• Updated some libraries to their latest available version
• Fixed a couple of minor bugs

• Fixed the support for shingekinoshoujo.it
• Fixed a bug in the support for Lezhin with the JSON parsing function

• Added the support for lezhinus.com but please note that there are still some limitations:
  • You can download only free chapters (sorry I don't have any premium account to test with purchased content).
  • For some chapters and all the hentai contents you need a valid logged account to access them. You can import your cookies (after you logged in with your web browser) using the MD Assistant extension and the specific function you can find in the Edit menu of the program.
  • For each page present in a chapter, the program will need to make an additional request to the server's API to obtain the necessary keys for accessing the files on the server. Therefore, if a chapter contains hundreds of pages, this will take a long time (and the program will stay on “Getting page list…” for a long time), and this could even lead the server to block/ban your IP due to a misinterpreted DDoS attack. Be careful and always remember that I do not assume any responsibility for any bans on your accounts.
• Fixed the support for Batoto
• Fixed the support for Manhuascan
• Fixed the support for Jundo
• Fixed the support for Mangapill
• Changed the domains of Mangaworld and Mangaworldadult
• Fixed the support for ComicWalker
• Changed the domain for manga18fx
• Fixed a bug with the Bookmarks mode where the user-agent header wasn't correctly applied to web requests, leading some websites (such as Manga18.club) to give 403 errors while downloading new chapters available for a manga.
• Fixed a bug in the bookmarks system with the timer at fixed rate which was broken. Now you can set again checks/downloads of new chapters with schedules at fixed rate.
• The function for saving preferences has been completely rewritten again, this should fix the bug where preferences were not restored correctly in case of an error in checking the Patreon license.

• Fixed a bug that did not start the download of all new chapters of a manga if a destination folder was not set in the program's settings
• Fixed again the support for MangaPark v5x and v3x

Important note about MangaPark v5x: since the v5x version of the website now uses the qwik framework to provide the list of images to load into the webpage, all the images used by the webpage are located within the same JSON collection and there is no way at the moment to distinguish between the images of the pages of the chapter and third-party images (such as covers, thumbnails, etc…). For this reason the program, until I can figure out a way to distinguish only the pages of the chapter, will download all the images it finds (including garbage ones). I apologize for the inconvenience but it's better than nothing for now.

• Added a new option in the “Format” section of the Settings window for users who want to skip the images download while keeping the creation of folders (https://github.com/RedSquirrel87/manga-downloader/issues/801).
• Added a new option in the “Extra” menu to set the images quality for manga downloaded from Webtoons (https://github.com/RedSquirrel87/manga-downloader/issues/806).
• Added the support for nightscans.net
• Added the support for chapmanganato.to domain
• Added the support for gd.godamanga.art
• Added the support for dynasty-scans.com
• Added the support for another widely used generic framework: Manga Stream (examples of websites using this framework are asuratoons, manjanoon, kaiscans, flamescans, etc…)
• Restored the support for reaperscans.com
• Changed the domain of asuracomics.com into the new asuratoon.com
• Fixed a bug in Madara generic framework which downloaded pages twice (https://github.com/RedSquirrel87/manga-downloader/issues/807)
• Fixed the support for likemanga.io
• Fixed a bug with Batoto mirror websites
• Fixed the support for Batoto clone websites
• Fixed the support for MangaPark (v5.2)
• Fixed a bug with custom names of bookmarks (https://github.com/RedSquirrel87/manga-downloader/issues/811)
• Fixed a bug that didn't properly restore Patreon supporters-exclusive settings after they reset (for example due to membership removal or a bad license check)
• Some other minor bugfixes

• Fixed the “report a bug” button that still linked to the old bitbucket page.
• Improved the internal function to bypass Cloudflare antibot protections: thanks to the suggestions in issue #591 I slightly improved the functions to bypass some of the Cloudflare anti-bot protections out there. Thanks to this many websites that weren't bypassable are now usable again (such as manga18.club, manhuaplus.com or manhwatop.com). Please note that there are STILL websites that use such high levels of protection that they can't be bypassed even now (such as mangalib.me or webtoon.xyz) but fortunately they are less and less than in the past!
• Added a new function to bypass the DNS obfuscation that some countries impose on the domains of some websites. This function will allow the program to connect to a website directly via its IP if public.
• Added a new option (disabled by default) in the Extra menu for Mangadex to enable the above function to bypass the DNS obfuscation. This will allow users from some countries (like Italy) to connect to Mangadex without the need to use custom DNS services such as OpenDNS, Google or Cloudflare
• Optimized the use of the API for searching for new manga chapters from Mangadex: now the program will use a specific API call to get only new chapters from the last check data, this way the process of searching for new chapters should be more efficient and faster, especially if you have many manga from Mangadex among your bookmarks!
• Added a new option (enabled by default) in the Extra Menu for Mangadex to disable the check for manga title changes: this required an extra API call which slowed down the process, especially when there were many manga to check. Since the title of a manga changes very rarely, disabling this control practically doubles the speed of the entire process.
• Fixed a bug with the “Download all the new chapters” button: if you had the “delay” parameter set to a value other than zero in the program's settings then this erroneously created a long wait before the actual start of the downloads queue.
• Improved the function to remove manga from the bookmarks: now the program will not freeze anymore when you select a big number of manga and it will show the classical progress bar (stoppable too!)
• Fixed a major bug with the new function to skip the check for changes in manga title from Mangadex: if the user enabled this option then the title of the manga did not appear at all for any manga from Mangadex. Now this has been fixed and it should work as intended.
• Added the title of the manga currently loaded into the first header of the chapters table (it will replace the “Title” header). Having the currently loaded manga title on screen was one of the things you've asked me the most in the last few months. I really have no idea why it's so crucial for you (I would to emphasize that it was already possible to see it from the “Manga” menu…) but, well, now you finally have it at screen xD
• Added the ability to set a delay between the manga while checking for new chapters.
• Added a new function which rearranges the list of manga in bookmarks while searching for new chapters so that, whenever possible, two manga from the same source will not be checked consecutively.
• Added a new button in the toolbar of the bookmarks view to manage the above new features.
• Added the ability to sort the chapters when the user select the single file download mode: this way you can rearrange the order of the chapters in the final file as you wish.
• Added support for the following Batoto mirrors (including the v3x version): comiko.net, batotoo.com, battwo.com, batotwo.com, mangatoto.com, mto.to, hto.to, zbato.org, zbato.net, zbato.com, xbato.net, xbato.org, xbato.com, readtoto.com, readtoto.org, readtoto.net
• Added support for https://likemanga.io/
• Added support for https://daonovel.com/
• Added support for https://lilymanga.net/
• Added support for https://mangafoxfull.com/
• Added support for https://komikindo.co/
• Added support for https://komiku.com/
• Added support for https://comick.app/
• Added support for https://comiconlinefree.net/
• Added support for https://comicextra.net
• Added support for https://comic-meteor.jp
• Added support for https://comic.webnewtype.com
• Added support for https://comic.naver.com
• Added support for https://manhuaplus.com
• Updated the domain for https://www.mangaworld.bz
• Updated the domain for https://manga18sx.com
• Fixed the MangaStream framework
• Fixed the support for https://manga18.club
• Fixed the support for https://manhwatop.com
• Fixed the support for shingekinoshoujo.it

• Fixed a new bug with the support for reaperscans.com that gave an error 403 while downloading the pages.

• Improved again the reaperscans.com support for manga with many chapters
• Now the program will close after restoring the preferences from the database (this will avoid weird GUI behaviors)
• Fixed a couple of missing Italian translations

• Added support for the v3x version of Bato.to
• Added support for mangaworldadult.com
• Added support for aineteam.it as requested by a patron (please note: you need to import the cookies after a valid login to the website otherwise the program can not access the chapters! To do that use the Manga Downloader Assistant web extension and import cookie data using the specific function in the Edit → Cookie Management menu).
• Added support for mymangarelease.com as requested by a patron.
• Fixed the support for coffeemanga.io (the domain has changed from .com to .io)
• Fixed support for manga1000
• Fixed a bug in the support for reaperscans.com that caused an error when the manga had too much chapters
• Added a check to avoid folders names that end with a dot (since Windows does not allow to use them).
• Fixed a major bug that froze the program at very first startup (after the download of all the missing libriaries). This problem was caused by the new function of cleaning up unused libraries, as it used functions imported from libraries that are not present at the very first startup of the program. It has now been completely rewritten using only standard JAVA functions.
• Added an option in the “Import from URLs” dialog to avoid to load the chapters of the manga you import into your bookmarks. This way at the first check all the already existing chapters of the manga will be considered as “new” by the program. Useful for those who want to download whole manga from the bookmarks. Requested by a patron.
• Added the ability to set the own login data for Jundo (you can find the specific function in the Extra menu). Requested by a patron.
• Added new options (in the File menu) to backup and restore program's preferences inside the local database (mangadownloader.db). This will come in handy in cases where a JVM upgrade or maybe a registry cleaner tool cause the removal of the preferences saved in the system registry.
• Migrated all the links to Bitbucket inside the program to the new ones linking to Github. I had to move everything (libraries, files and issues tracker) to Github as Bitbucket has now a bug with write permissions (caused by its merging with Jira) and it was impossible for users to create new issues, even anonymously.
• New version for the launcher of the program (now it will download files and libraries from Github)
• Fixed a couple of minor bugs

• Added support for agcscanlation.it
• Added support for coloredmanga.com
• Added support for coffeemanga.com
• Added support for the new domain of mangaworld.so
• Added support for scyllascans.org
• Added support for mangareader.to
• Added support MangaKatana.com
• Added support for mreader.co
• Fixed the support for Toonily
• Fixed and improved the support for shingekinoshoujo.to
• Fixed support for comic.pixiv.net
• Totally rewritten the support for ReaperScans: now the program supports their new website
• The support for Mangapark.net has beed rewritten from scratch: now it uses their Graph API to get a complete list of their chapters data and it should therefore better withstand future updates (hopefully). For this reason now the program supports only the v5x of the website.
• Fixed a major bug with the regex patterns for custom replacing rules that did not work in previous versions
• Fixed a bug with the manga name (folder name) that did not use the custom name set in the bookmarks by the user even if the corresponding option in program's settings was enabled
• Fixed a bug with the notification of a new nightly build available
• Added a new option in the Extra menu for MangaPlus which will allow the user to disable the two pages splitting request from their API
• Added a new output format exclusively for Patreon supporters: now the user can save any downloaded chapter as EPUB book! The program will create all the necessary parts (cover, table of contents, etc…) to create a 100% valid file with the EPUB v3 standard
• The features exclusive for Patreon users will now have a different color/background in the program's settings window for better and faster identification
• Improved the function to guess MIME types of the downloaded images, now it recognizes also the Lavc header for JPEG format
• Now if the content type header of the web request results in the “application/octet-stream” MIME type then the program will automatically use the above function to try to acquire the correct format for the downloaded image
• Added a new check for the name of the pages to make sure that it correctly contains the progressive number and therefore avoid errors or overwriting cases when the file name is truncated because it is too long.
• Fixed a bug with the delay option for chapters download
• Fixed a bug that gave an error creating output files when the cutted manga title ended with a space
• Migrated from xsPDF to Apache PDFBox library for a better PDF documents management (this should fix many errors and incompatibilities with images formats)
• Added a new function to delete the no more used libraries at startup to save disk space.
• Added a new sub-menu to the “Check all…” function of the bookmarks view: this will allow the users to select different ways to check the bookmarks for new chapters that will involve all the manga, only manga without a previous check or only manga already checked but with no new chapter found.
• Added a new button to apply a custom parsing procedure to the manga list in the bookmarks: it will allow the user to “create” a custom parsing function for his bookmarks (he will can choose what to do with manga in any status, if checked or not, if new chapters found or not, etc…)
• Added a settings dialog to setup the above custom parsing procedure
• Added a context menu to the bookmarks list (right-click on the list to show it)
• Now the user can select and run check/download function only with selected manga thanks to the context menu
• Added a function in the above new context menu to enable/disable the concatenation flag for all the selected manga
• Now while checking for new chapters for bookmarked manga the program will disable the list sorting by clicking on the columns headers to avoid a bug that brought to use the wrong selected manga
• Now the program will show again the number of new chapters found for each manga when you exit and come back to the bookmarks window. This way it will be easier for the user to identify manga with new chapters especially with very large bookmarks lists
• Added a new confirmation message when the user try to check again the bookmarks for new chapters, in order to prevent unwanted overwritings of the new chapters already found in previous checks. The confirmation message will appear ONLY if there was a previous check for a manga in the bookmarks.

• Fixed a couple of wrong default values for some settings in the new renaming system.
• Fixed the “Clear all the stored preferences” button the did not work anymore

• Fixed the support for Mangapark.net by adding support for the new v5x of mangapark.net
• Fixed the support for comic.pixiv.net
• Fixed the support for mangatoon.mobi
• Added support for shingekinoshoujo.to as requested by a Patron.
• Added support for asurascans.com
• Added support for pianmanga.com
• Added support for mangaclash.com
• Added support for mangax1.com
• Fixed a bug with Mangadex and the new chapters check function: now it should no longer misreport old chapters as new ones.
• Reintegrated the support for zinmanga.com since now it works again with data from the MD Assistant web extension.
• The naming system of the output files has been completely rewritten from scratch: now the user can choose the final name of any part of the output file (manga main folder, chapters filenames and subfolders and even the pages filenames). Furthermore, even the preview is now shown in a much clearer treemap so as to have an actual preview of how the final output path/directory will be structured after the choices.
• Added a new tab in the new renaming system dedicated to the concatenated output files.
• Added a new option in the program's settings screen to save the images to file before to convert them in JPEG/PDF. This should fix the poor support for WEBP images that in previous versions gave a black image as a result of conversion
• Fixed a bug that removed the wrong manga from the bookmarks if you reordered the list by any column
• Fixed the same bug above also for the “Open Manga” button in the bookmarks full view
• Fixed a bug that selected the wrong manga when the list of bookmarks was reordered: this involved both the concatenation flag and the custom name value
• Fixed a bug with the database backup function that led to the creation of more copies than the maximum value set by the user
• Fixed a bug that if the user deleted the destination folder set in the program settings, then the program would not recreate it and gave error: now if the output folder does not exist the program will try to create it before to ask the user to set a new one
• Added a new menu item (in the Edit menu) about the cookies management: now the user can clean them all or add manually new data from the MD Assistant web extension. This could be useful to set login cookies for websites where you want to download with your account.
  Warning: Manga Downloader does not in any way want you to be able to download and share paid content and for this reason no support will be given to this feature if it does not work with a website.
• Changed the dialog for “new nightly version available”: it is now less invasive, in fact now when a new version is available a simple button will be added to the menu bar instead of opening a dialog box at startup

• Fixed support for Bato.to and its mirror websites (comiko.net and batotoo.com)
• Fixed support for readcomiconline.li
• Fixed support for manhuascan.me (now .io)
• Added support for jundo.it
• Added support for mangabat.com
• Added support for nightcomic.com
• Added support for reaperscan.com
• Added support for summanga.com
• Added support for unionleitor.top
• Added support for yaoiefujoshiclubscan.it
• Added a button to set a language filter for the “Download all the new chapters” function in the bookmarks full view! Now you'll can download only the chapters in a specific language for any manga in the bookmarks.
• Added a function to check at startup the latest nightly build available: now the nightly builds will notify you if there is a new nightly build available on Patreon, so you no longer have to check manually the Patreon pages to know if there is a new nightly build available.
• Removed a debug message printed in the log for mistake
• Fixed an incompatibility bug between the onepiecepower.info framework and Java 1.8. Since this is not the first time a similar incompatibility happens, for the future I highly suggest you all to install JDK (you can download it for free from https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/ )
• Fixed a bug with table sorting in bookmarks full view which loaded the wrong row after sorting by column.
• Enabled keyboard selection events for the table in bookmarks full view.
• Added an automatic backup function for the database (where downloaded and bookmarks are stored)
• Added a function to save all the URLs of the bookmarked manga to a file. This way you'll can use it to import them at once if you need in future.
• Added a new submenu inside the Edit menu where you can set some settings about the new database backup feature
• Added the “concatenate” column inside the bookmarks full view: now you can enable this option for any of your bookmarked manga and the program will concatenate automatically the pages of its chapters.
• Optimized the function to check for Patreon benefits by reducing the API requests
• Improved the function to check for Patreon benefits by adding the support for connection and read timeouts values set in the program's Settings
• Added support for WEBP images manipulation thanks to TwelveMonkeys library: now the program can convert to JPEG and PDF even the WEBP images!
• Added the new libraries to the startup download function
• Added a function to upgrade the SQLite database at startup (for upcoming changes)
• Added a“Cleaning” menu for the database file. Now you can clear the database by removing “already downloaded” flags and chapters for bookmarked manga with many other options available.
• Added missing Italian translation strings

• Fixed another bug with the bookmarks quick view
• Fixed a bug with the toolbar that was mistakenly become draggable (and not resettable).
• Fixed an incompatibility bug between Mangadex and JAVA 8 with the new TLS 1.3 protocol
• Added a couple of missing strings for the Italian translation
• Fixed a bug with Mangadex and oneshot chapters which did not get any title
• Fixed a bug with novelleleggere which sometimes did not load any title for the manga
• Fixed a bug with novelleleggere which gave error while getting pages for some chapters
• Added a function to save the new chapters found for manga in bookmarks for the whole session: this mean that now you can leave the bookmarks full view after checking for new chapters and when you come back you'll find the new chapters still linked to the manga (in other words the list of new chapters available for every manga in bookmarks will remain viewable until the next check!).
• Fixed another bug with novelleleggere which gave error while getting pages for some chapters
• Updated the launcher: now it passes the working directory to the main executable (so as to fix the issues when you launch it by double-clicking on the JAR file) and if it finds the nightly.jar file it will launch that instead of the main executable.
• Improved the support for Mangadex: now the program can load chapters list longer than 5k entries.
• Changed the credits dialog: now the links in the text will be clickable.
• Restored the language filter function also for new chapters list in the bookmarks full view.
• Added support for delitoon.com
• Added support for onepiecepower.info (requested by a Patreon supporter)
• Fixed the support for readcomiconline.li

• Fixed an issue with the bookmarks quick view which did not work properly.

Preliminary note: although graphically this new v55 may look not too different from the previous ones, it actually has undergone a deep rewrite of the source code to adapt it to the new features and to introduce all the new functions. For this reason, new bugs or problems, that were not present before, may now inevitably appear. I therefore ask you to be patient in case you find them and plaese always report them so that they can be fixed as quickly as possible. I apologize for them and thank you for your understanding and patience.

Changelog:

• A totally new bookmarks system:
  • Now you can add a custom cover image to the manga stored in bookmarks
  • Now you can check the availability of new chapters of manga stored in bookmarks
  • Now you can download only the new chapters available for manga stored in bookmarks (manually or all of them at once)
  • Now you can import manga there were in the old bookmarks inside the new bookmarks system
  • Now you can import manga from a URLs list (without the need to open the manga and add them to bookmarks one by one!)
  • Now you can schedule checks for new chapters for manga stored in bookmarks (at startup, at specific time of the day, every x minutes, etc…)
  • Please note: only Patreon suscribers can use the extra features of the new bookmarks system and have unlimited manga stored in them. Free users can have only a maximum of 5 manga stored in bookmarks now.
• Added a new tool, exclusive for Patreon supporters, to concatenate images in a single PDF or PNG file: this can be useful for those manga/comics stored in vertical scrolling truncated images.
• Added a management panel for URLs in the input history: now you can move the URLs up/down, edit them or remove them individually.
• Added an option in the settings dialog to select what action to do at program startup (useful to start it minimized for example in combination with the schedule function in bookmarks)
• Added an option in the settings dialog to choose to concatenate the pages after the download (function exclusive for Patron supporters)
• Added a backward compatibility function for the database to fix an issue with users who have an its old version (with less columns in Manga table). This should fix the bug where bookmarks do not appear in the full view (but they do in quick view).
• Added a new status type for supported manga list (to distinguish websites not working due to bugs/changes from those ones not working due to Cloudflare's antibot protection).
• Added an option in the filename scheme dialog to create a subfolder for every chapter (requested by a Patron).
• Added a Patreon splashscreen (obviously skippable if you are already a subscriber)

• Fixed a GUI issue with the Settings screen on Unix systems
• Fixed the missing strings for Italian translation
• Changed the behaviour of the button of the menu of the manga: now the title of the manga will no longer overwrite the name of the menu but will instead be reported inside it. In this way you will avoid the issue of non-usability of the menu in case the program fails to correctly acquire the title of the manga.

• Checked all the supported websites and removed those ones that no longer exist: 1stkissmanga.online, blockmanga.com, catmanga.org, ciayo.com, jaiminisbox.com, kissaway.net, kissmanga.link, lelscan-vf.me, lhscan.me, manamoa.net, mangageez.com, mangakawaii.com, manganine.com, mangapan.com, mangareader.net, mangaseeonline.us, mangazuki.me, readmanga.me, scantrad.net, tohomh123.com, u17.com, welovemanga.net.

Note about Patreon: as I think you may have noticed from the changelog, starting with this new version there are some limitations for free users. Why this? It has been over a year now that I opened the Patreon account for the program and until last November I didn't even reach 10 supporters. From November to today, as soon as some websites have been fixed and were temporarily only available in nightly builds, I have exceeded 30 subscribers, an increase of over 200% practically. This gave me a clear proof that unfortunately without giving something actually better to Patreon subscribers, people are unfortunately not inclined to subscribe. For this reason I have decided from this version to limit some program options to subscribers only. But do not be angry: I have not removed any features to make them available only to subscribers, but only limited the use of some features to a minimum value still perfectly enjoyable even for free (such as bookmarks, pauses between downloads, simultaneous downloads, etc…) and added completely “extra” functions (such as a function to concatenate images) exclusively for Patreon subscribers. In my opinion, this is the best strategy to conciliate the two worlds (free and subscribers users) without being too restrictive and yet be able to offer to subscribers some extras that are appropriate for the price paid every month.

• Fixed the support for Welovemanga: please be careful and use a large pause between pages downloads (you can set this in settings) and do not download too much chapters at once, because for example during my tests my IP got banned and I can not access the website anymore now. Also if you get an error please visit their website and overcome the ddos protection screen so as to whitelist your IP temporarily.

• Included the FlatLaf themes (Light, Dark, IntelliJ and Darcula). Please note that to use them you'll need Java 8 or newer installed.

• Removed the loading GIF image and replaced with a classic one

• The main program now checks and updates the updater executable automatically in background
• Added a mini splash screen to avoid dead time while initializing GUI components at startup
• Changed the tray icon behaviour: now it will show/hide the main window of the program with just one click.

• Fixed again the support for Bato.to: now their website uses Javascript functions to obfuscate and crypt the image files path, so the program needs to use the built-in Javascript engine to deobfuscate and decrypt them but I don't know if it will work with every OS. Please report any errors.

• Ricompiled with the old JDK: this should fix the crash at startup if JDK v15 is not installed in your OS.

• Fixed Batoto support.
• Fixed a bug with Mangaeden and the “download as single file” function: now the pages of the chapters will be sorted correctly.

• Added an option in the Extra menu for Manganelo: now the user can change the download server (useful with some manga that did not work with the default server).

• Reverted a change in the user-agent used by the app: in my attempts to bypass Kissmanga protections I changed the fake user-agent used by the app but this seems to have the side effect of breaking the support for some websites (for example MangaDex), so I changed it back to the old good value.

• Added an option in the Extra menu to set the number of pages to skip for Kissmanga manga (by default set to 5): this because they started adding disgusting images to the chapters' pages list, probably as a (sick) form of defense against downloaders like this program.

• Fixed a bug in the Wordpress (Madara) generic framework which could prevent the loading of the chapter list in case it was not loaded dynamically with JS.

• Fixed a bug in the Cruzers generic framework which loaded the chapters list in reverse order

• Added an option in the program's Settings to enable the detection of the image format from its file header instead of using the “content-type” header of the server.

• Now if the program can not detect the extension for the downloaded image it will notify an error in the log.
• Fixed support for Comic.pixiv.net

• Added support for hentai contents for mangapark.net #297

• Fixed support for LoveHeaven: now the program will use the Flat Manga framework automatically for it

• Added an option into the filename scheme settings to prefer the custom name set in the bookmarks for a manga instead of the original one
• Fixed a bug with the enumaration of pages for Coreview generic framework

• Removed the duktape JS engine dependency: now the program uses pure JAVA code to decode the Mangaplus responses, this means that it does not need anymore a Javascript engine and also that Mangaplus is now compatible with all the OS compatible with JVM (and not only with 64-bit or > Win 8 systems as it was with duktape!).
• Fixed a bug that did not save the new custom title for bookmarks from a generic framework
• Fixed a bug with Mangaplus bookmarks that could create duplicates
• Moved all the external libraries from the main package to an external folder: this way the main executable of the program is far less heavy (about only 4 MB instead of over 25 MB) and so it will require far less time to download any new upgrade in future.

• Added a new Cloudflare anti-bot protection bypass method: now thanks to the use of the HTMLUnit library the program can load any webpage in background and get the necessary cookies to bypass the Cloudflare anti-bot protection used by many website. This way more websites will be compatible with the program (for example the much requested Japscan) and hopefully it should survive better to future updates by Cloudflare to its protection
• Removed the JavaFX dependency since it's not required anymore.
• Now the program will use the STORED flag instead of the DEFLATE one for the 0 level compression in ZIP/CBZ formats. This should bring to a better compatibility with some reader apps.

Since this is the biggest update this program got in its history, I consider this first release of v30 a “beta”, so please expect many bugs and not working things. I'm sorry for that but a deeper work of testing and fixing all the supported websites would increase even more the release date and since it's already been about six months from the last release I thought that it would be a better idea to release it with the new core and major fixes and to work to minor bugs/fixes for every supported website day by day.

New major features:

• Bookmarks support: you can now save and load manga in your bookmarks.
• Last download date: the program will now save the date of last download for every chapter you download, so you can now know if you have already downloaded a chapter of what was the last downloaded one for any manga.

• Added partial support for their website as requested (#33). For “partial” I mean that since the images downloaded from Mangarock.com are in WEBP format and since JAVA has no support to load/convert the WEBP images yet, you can NOT use the PDF or JPEG conversion functions as output format.

  Please note that KissManga has the Cloudflare anti-bot protection always active, so you need to bypass it with the new specific function in the Extra menu.
