Stay up to date with the latest features, improvements, and bug fixes on Ashenara.
Download Quota Enforcement: Fixed a bug where direct CDN downloads bypassed the server API, properly enforcing daily role-based download limits and accurate history logging.
Download Button Feedback: The download button now instantly visually disables with a 'Limit Reached' state when your daily quota is exhausted, preventing frustrating API error screens.
Platform Consistency & Spacing: Realigned and normalized the gap between the navigation bar and headers across the Admin and Updates pages for pixel-perfect consistency.
Updates Page Overhaul: Renamed the News page to Updates for clarity and added a lazy-loading 'Show More' system to keep the changelog performant and easy to read.
Action Button Alignment: Redesigned the Book Details action buttons (Download, Edit, Upload) to prevent text squishing and clipping on smaller screens.
Admin User Management: Added a comprehensive user management tab to the Admin dashboard, featuring search, sorting, pagination, and ban/unban capabilities.
Role-Based Limits: Implemented a robust role system enforcing specific daily download and upload storage quotas across the platform.
Profile Storage Visualizer: Added dynamic storage progress bars to user profiles, accurately tracking space usage against role limits.
Chat Usability Update: Changed default chat zoom level to 70% to improve readability and pinned message layout.
Real-time Global Chat: Added a brand new synchronized global chat powered by Pusher. Engage with other readers instantly!
Advanced Chat Windows: Support for resizable Pop-Out windows and experimental 'Always on Top' Document Picture-in-Picture mode for seamless reading and chatting.
Chat UI Zoom Controls: Built-in dynamic zoom scaling for the chat interface to customize reading size without breaking layout.
