🔧 General Improvements

• Config files now include clearer descriptions and inline docs
• Docker and CI/CD flows more stable and flexible
• Simplified CLI/Docker workflows
• Better installation experience with richer documentation

v1.4

• Updated 'Settings' menu to be more comprehensive
• Fix for Docker deployment
• Special case fix for Synology deployment
• Increased accuracy of scanners
• Increased accuracy of Anime matching
• Full implementation of 'Monitor Scan'.
• Fix to neverending log file

v1.3

• Added the ability to create custom regex patterns via the 'Settings' menu
• Implemented several fixes for matching
• Introduction of scanners: New folder, Scanners, exists with a file for each content type. Adding a show or movie to one of these lists is a hard override for content type (i.e. If you add Star Trek The Next Generation to the tv_series.txt file, this show will be detected as a TV Series). This is useful for users who do not wish to work with regex patterns for identification

• Adds content type extraction based on MDBlist
• General bug fixes
• Improved Anime detection

v1.1

• Adjusted log file to only include latest session
• Added additional logic for auto-processing seasons and episodes
• Added logic that attempts to extract content type based on directory (i.e. /mnt/rclone/shows would set all files inside to 'TV Series' by default)
• Restructured menu combining Directory and Individual scan features into one scan type
• Applied fix for ASCII art display issues in PowerShell
• Introduced fallback art if ASCII art fails to display
• Added option in .env to switch between symlinks and hard links
• Updated docker-compose.yml to properly pull all environment variables from .env
