Release Notes ​

All LibrisLog releases, newest first — what's new, what was fixed, and anything you need to know before upgrading.

Upgrading: releases are backwards compatible. Database migrations run automatically when the container starts (alembic upgrade head), so upgrading is a drop-in replacement. We always recommend taking a backup before an upgrade.

v1.7.0 — Reading Streaks & Goals ​

Feature release 2026-08-26

Summary: Adds a gamification section to the dashboard with reading streaks and reading goals, a richer book model with multiple authors, a new field-specific search syntax, and a more flexible file import.

Features

  • 👥 Multiple authors per book — a book can have any number of authors (normalized per-user author model). The legacy API author field is deprecated in favor of the authors list
  • 🏆 Reading streaks & goals — a gamification section on the dashboard shows your current and all-time longest reading streak (with date range) plus playful progress cards for reading goals. Goals (pages/day, pages/month, books/month, books/year) are configured on the profile page and disabled by default; the whole section can be switched off
  • 🎲 Random "Next to Read" suggestions — the dashboard's suggestion shelf now picks a random selection from your want-to-read list on every visit
  • 🔍 Enhanced search — field-specific prefixes (author:, title:, publisher:, tag:, language:, possession:, notes:, description:), quoted phrases, and - negation
  • 📚 "All books" library tab — browse every book regardless of reading status, with the usual search and sort controls
  • 📈 Author statistics card — total book count and distinct author count on the statistics page
  • 📥 Improved file import
    • New authors target field (accepts a plain string or an array; legacy author mappings keep working)
    • CSV delimiter is now user-configurable (default ,)
    • date_added can be imported — preserves original library dates when migrating from other tools
    • Transforms may return lists for the authors/tags targets (e.g. value.split(';'))
    • Preview renders authors and tags as JSON arrays
  • 📤 Data export — authors and tags export as lists in JSON, round-tripping through the adaptive import
  • 🏷️ Possession naming — the acquisition/possession field and its search prefix are now consistently called possession

Bug fixes

  • 📊 Fixed the inverted Top Rated / Worst Rated ordering on the statistics page

Breaking changes

  • ⚠️ Creating a book now requires at least one author (via authors or the legacy author field) — API requests without any author are rejected
  • ⚠️ The availability: search prefix is renamed to possession:
