NOTE: THIS RELEASE HAS BREAKING CHANGES

Added

  • New OCR engine: “Manga OCR” Online (via a Hugging Face Space by Gryan Galario) (ocr.engine = mangaocr_online).
  • Auto Block OCR Instant mode: the Auto Block OCR command now takes a parameter that determines whether to ask the user to click a point or to immediately take the current mouse position. keybindings.global.ocr.autoBlock now binds to the instant variant, while .autoBlockSelect binds to the variant mediated by a mouse click.
  • Translation-only mode: Option that treats incoming chunks as translations and creates a new chunk for each translation. Useful when watching media with just the translation subtitles (chunk.translationOnlyMode = true).
  • Clipboard Inserter (Firefox, Chrome) browser extension integration—when active, clipboard text will be automatically grabbed as a new Kamite chunk.

Changed

  • mpv integration rework: The mpv script has been removed, the IPC connection with mpv is now used for extracting subtitles. BREAKING CHANGE: please remove the old mpv script (~/.config/mpv/scripts/kamite.lua) and make sure that mpv is launched with the parameter --input-ipc-server="/tmp/kamite-mpvsocket".
  • “Manga OCR” integration rework: The mangaocr.sh wrapper script is no longer used and in its absence the Python executable used is no longer the PATH python, but the default pipx manga-ocr installation path. BREAKING CHANGE: please either provide a path to a Python launcher that can access the manga_ocr module under the config key ocr.mangaocr.pythonPath or simply reinstall “Manga OCR” using pipx (pipx install manga-ocr).
  • Text transform action has gained additional visually similar character pairs.
  • Tesseract executable can now be customized (ocr.tesseract.path; default is tesseract).
  • Tesseract error reporting has been improved.
  • Linux launcher bash script has been replaced with a launcher program.
  • The client UI now uses scalable icons.

Fixed

  • Successfully loading a profile config file is no longer falsely reported when the file is not readable.
  • A rare failure in manga text block detector.
  • Command palette button tooltip is now correctly hidden when the browser loses focus to a point/area selection program.
