Release v2.0.0

🌟 What's New in v2.0.0

This is the biggest Booklore release yet, with nearly 200 commits touching every part of the application:

• Multi-Format Book Support & Audiobooks: Books can now have multiple file formats (EPUB, PDF, CBZ, etc.) attached to a single entry. Full audiobook support is here with a dedicated player, streaming playback, narrator filtering, and session tracking.
• Duplicate Book Detection & Merge: Booklore can now detect duplicate books across your library. A new merge tool lets you combine duplicates, choose which formats to keep, and optionally move files, all without losing metadata.
• Author Metadata via Audnexus: Author pages now pull rich metadata (bios, images) from the Audnexus API, with a dedicated author browser, detail page, and editor.
• Series Browser: A brand new series browser page with search, filtering, sorting, and resizable cards for browsing your series collection at a glance.
• Annotation Notebook: All your highlights, notes, and bookmarks are now collected in a searchable, paginated notebook view.
• Audit Log System: Admins can now see a full audit trail of significant actions (user management, library changes, metadata operations) with geo flags, relative timestamps, and filterable logs.
• Bidirectional Kobo Sync: Full two-way reading progress sync with Kobo devices, plus shelves and magic shelves now sync as Kobo tags.
• Cascading Sidebar Filters: Filters now cascade, so selecting an author narrows available series, genres, etc. You can also customize which filters are visible.
• 10+ New Statistics Charts: A massive expansion of the stats page with reading heatmaps, distribution charts, completion races, and more.
• PDF Annotations & Reader Upgrades: The PDF reader now supports annotations, dark/light mode toggle, and Range streaming. The ebook reader gains fullscreen, keyboard shortcuts, and go-to-percentage. The CBX reader adds fullscreen, slideshow, RTL, and long strip mode.
• Sidecar Metadata Files: Booklore can now read and write .metadata.json sidecar files alongside your books for portable metadata storage.
• Extended Comic Metadata: Full ComicInfo.xml support with a dedicated comic metadata picker and write-back to CBZ/PDF files.
• Internationalization via Weblate: Booklore is now fully translatable with Transloco and Weblate integration. Ships with 15+ languages including Hungarian, Slovenian, Croatian, Swedish, Chinese, and Japanese.
• Java 25, Spring Boot 4, Gradle 9: The entire backend has been upgraded to the latest stack. Nginx has been removed; Angular is now served directly from Spring Boot.
• Login Rate Limiting: Brute-force protection on the login endpoint. Plus new age and content rating support for restricted libraries.
• Performance: Book list API optimized with ETag caching, delta sync, and IndexedDB. Project Lilliput compact object headers reduce heap usage.

This release introduces some of the largest and most impactful features Booklore has seen so far:

• Enhanced Charts: All charts have been redesigned for clarity and visual appeal. Three new chart types have been added: Taste Ratings, Reading Backlog, and Series Progress.
• Komga-Compatible API: Connect your Komga apps, such as Mihon or Komelia, directly to Booklore for unified library management.
• Progressive Web App Support: Booklore can now be installed as a PWA, allowing access without browser UI limitations for a cleaner reading experience.
