Shokofin 4.2.0 Released

Last release of the plugin before starting on adding the TMDB support (in code). Next major release after this minor release will be waiting for Shoko Server 5.0 and Jellyfin 10.10 to be released.

Not really much else to say, except maybe read on if you care what changed in this release, otherwise have a nice day. 🍃

Highlights

Here are some of the key features and improvements since the last stable release (4.1.1):

New Additions

• The settings page have been visually overhauled. The whole page has been rewritten to support a tab based view. Some settings have been marked as advanced and hidden until the new advanced mode is enabled. And the ground work for future utilities has been laid down. Refer to the newly updated documentation for more information about the new settings and the advanced mode.
