v0.8.9 - New Stats pages, Journal Style reading, 50x Faster Scanner, and so much more!
Published on January 14, 2026 by Joseph Milazzo
Happy New Year! Every year, I hope to have a release at the end of December or the Start of January, but it never seems to happen; the scope of Kavita releases have just become too large. This release of Kavita is quite expansive and comple...

v0.8.5.3 - Hotfix
Published on March 9, 2025 by Joseph Milazzo

Published on March 7, 2025 by Joseph Milazzo
