MAL Library 3.0 Alpha 2

This is a prerelease version and it may have bugs. This version will run independently from the stable version.

This is the second prerelease version of MAL Library, which fixes several bugs from the first alpha release discovered in the past few days. Mostly everything is implemented, except list syncing. May contain bugs.

For Mac App Store users, you can unlock Pro features during the testing phase for free by going to MAL Library Next > Unlock Pro Features.

Requires macOS Yosemite 10.10 or later.

Bug Fixes and Enhancements

• Improve loading of lists to use sparse fields for Anime metadata to only retrieve the necessary fields and improve loading times.
• Fix crash when there is no Kitsu username, user id and/or rating system saved to Preferences. They will be retrieved using the stored oAuth token at launch. If the user's information can't be found, then automatically log out of Kitsu account.
• Fix crash when a title id couldn't be found on the target list service.
• Fix crash when a user attempts to view a reaction, which a user doesn't have an avatar. It will show a placeholder image instead.
• Don't perform title id lookup if there is one in progress.
• Disable service menu when a list is being synchronized/refreshed.
• Show progress wheel indicating that a list is being synchronized/refreshed.
• Fix the displaying of the total episodes for Anime in Title Information View.
• Updated AFNetworking framework to 3.2.0
• Various code improvements.

Known Issues

• AniList importing is still using the 1.0 version of the AniList API and needs to use the latest.
• Character browser still using MyAnimeList data when Kitsu service is used. This is because the Character and Staff APIs are incomplete on Kitsu.
• This release may use a lot of memory (up to 100mb). I am working on memory optimization in the next few release;
• MAL Library Safari Extension does not fully work yet.
• Other undiscovered bugs.
