Shukofukurou for macOS 3.5.8 is now released, which is the legacy release that supports macOS 10.13 to 10.15. We will only be releasing bugfixes. However, there won’t be any new features added to this release. The 3.5.x series will be supported until next year. The legacy release has a different app name, but it will use the same settings and stored lists until you are ready to upgrade to 3.6.x or later release, which requires Big Sur or later.

To unlock donor features and you have the App Store release, do not uninstall or overwrite the App Store version. When you launch the Legacy version, it will unlock these features automatically.

Shukofukurou for iOS/iPadOS 2.2 is now released after being released for testing for the last few months. This release drops iOS 12 support and adds iOS 13 or later features. Also, there is now a new scrobble extension for Safari, which will eventually replace the share extension. This allows user to update their list based on what you are watching. It’s not automatic and you need to tap the extesnion icon and then Hachidori Lite to use it. Make sure you enable the extension first.

Also, the icon for the iOS version now matches the Mac version.

Change log is below

New Features​

• Add What’s New onboarding to show what is new in the release.
• Hachidori Lite Safari Extension is now added, allowing users to update their list based on what you are watching. Simply tap the Extensions icon, Hahidori Lite and follow the instructions to update your list based on the title and episode you are watching.
• iOS/iPadOS 15 Support
• Password Autofill support for Kitsu login

Bug Fixes and Enhancements​

• Remove OnePassword icon on the Kitsu login.
• Removed support for iOS 12
• Adopted iOS/iPadOS 13 UI additions (e.g. icons, table views)
• Added deprecation notice for Shukofukurou Scrobble extension, will be removed in a future release.

You can discuss this release on our forums.

Yep, there has been a couple of oppsies, but that allowed us to also squash another bug involving Kitsu. Apparently, some titles do not have start/end publishing/air dates, causing the app to crash. This bug is noticeable on the iOS version, but nobody filed a bug report. Updates for the Mac and iOS version will be coming out shortly.

In addition, to make life easier in dealing with bugs and providing customer support, I will eventually create a support forum that will support all our apps based on Xenforo as it has a suggestions and bug reports module built in. The discussion and issues tabs will eventually be disabled on the Github repos in the future once the new forums are open. Also, I will be removing email customer support as all support related questions will be done on the forums. The support links will be updated once the support forums are set up this fall.

Shukofukurou for macOS 3.5.3 is now released. Hopefully, this is the last 3.5.x build. This fixes a recently discovered bug where the add popover doesn’t appear for MyAnimeList users in the Season view. This bug is also fixed in the 3.6 release as well. The public beta is available here.

The change log is below.

This release has minor bugfixes

Requires macOS 10.13 or later

Bug Fixes and Enhancements

• Fix adding of titles from the Season view when user is using MyAnimeList as the current service

A public beta of Shukofukurou for macOS 3.6 is now out. This release finally takes advantage of macOS Big Sur’s new design language. It also adds new columns, which allows users to customize what information to show in the list view. This release is expected to also support macOS 12 Monterey when it release this fall.

Why we are dropping support for macOS 10.15 Catalina or earlier?

It’s been a bit difficult to keep maintaining the app for older versions of macOS. It’s mostly because I have moved on to more recent version of macOS. Not to mention, since Apple will be leaving Intel behind in the next few years and Apple Silicon being the future, I want to take advantage of the newest APIs.

The 3.5.x branch will be maintained for some time for only bug fixes. For App Store users who need to use the older version, you can request a serial number. You need to send in proof that you have purchased the Shukofukurou app for macOS on the App Store by screenshooting the purchased list with the app listed. Send this email to chikorita157 at ateliershiori dot com with the name you want to use for the registration. Note that the App Store version will only have the version only compatible with macOS Big Sur or later.

The beta is available for download on Github.
