# Kotatsu Next v9.7.7.1 — Release Notes: #📖 Reader Zoom: - **Standard (manga) mode:** Double-tap now cycles through two zoom levels anchored to the tap point — first tap zooms to 50% of max zoom, second tap zooms to full max zoom. Another double-tap resets back to fit-to-screen. Zoom pivots naturally at wherever you tapped, just like pinch zoom. - **Webtoon mode:** Same two-tap zoom cycle applied for consistency — fit → 50% of max zoom → full max zoom → reset. - **Double-page mode:** Same two-tap zoom cycle. #🖼️ Reader Image Filters: - Fixed an intermittent bug where image filters (contrast, vibrance, brightness, sharpening, grayscale, book effect, invert) would appear to reset on their own, especially after switching chapters, rotating the screen, or returning to the reader after using another app. - Sharpening filter no longer silently stops working after the app is backgrounded on low-memory devices. - Fixed book-effect tint persisting after resetting filters globally. - Filter settings are now preserved more reliably across app restarts and crashes. #🌐 Network: - Added a global **"Disable automatic CAPTCHA solving"** toggle in **Settings → Network**. - When enabled, CloudFlare challenges will never be solved automatically in the background for any source — you will always be prompted manually instead. - The per-source "Disable automatic CAPTCHA solving" toggle is automatically grayed out with an explanatory note when the global setting is turned on, and becomes available again when it is turned off. ### 🐛 Bug Fixes: - **Webtoon pinch zoom:** Fixed images appearing pixelated/blurry while actively pinching to zoom. Images now stay sharp throughout the gesture. - **Donate screen:** Fixed crypto wallet addresses requiring three taps to copy. A single tap on the address card now copies it to the clipboard immediately. Updated to Kotatsu Redo upstream v9.7.7 # Note: Don't enable "Ignore SSL errors" setting, it will crash the app.
