Release Notes

v1.6.0 - New Login Page & Auth Updates

September 2026

Dedicated Login Experience: We've replaced the direct Google login popup with a beautiful new dedicated `/login` page featuring a sleek, glassmorphic UI.
Expanded OAuth Preparation: We have laid the groundwork and built the UI for GitHub, Discord, Twitter, Apple, and Facebook sign-ins (currently greyed out while we await API tokens).
List View Columns: You can now toggle and sort by Date Started and Date Finished directly from the Columns dropdown menu.
Timeline Enhancement: The Timeline view now displays both your start and finish dates combined into a single visual pill.

Hardcover API Integration: The Auto-Sync engine now utilizes the Hardcover GraphQL API to fetch pristine, high-resolution community covers and highly accurate series positioning metadata using exact ISBN matching.
Desktop App Installability: MyBookTierList can now be installed natively on Desktop (Windows/Mac) directly from your browser (Chrome/Edge). It runs in its own window and docks to your taskbar!
UI Refinements: Cleaned up clutter by removing legacy maximize/minimize toggle buttons in the List and Series views.
