Monthly Statistics

During July the Metron Project added the following to its database:

  • Users: 47
  • Issues: 1,940
  • Creators: 71
  • Characters: 329

Thanks to everyone that contributed!

More Database Series Type Changes

Made a couple of changes to some Series Type names on Metron based on some suggestions from Buried-In-Code over on Matrix. They include:

  • Change Digital Chapters to Digital Chapter
  • Change Hard Cover to Hardcover

If you wish to update your existing ComicInfo.xml metadata, I've released a new version of Karkas that addresses these changes. You can download this version from this link, and just install it by running:

pipx install /path/to/karkas-1.2.0-py3-none-any.whl

Then just run:

karkas /path/to/comics

Server OS Upgrade

I'm tentatively planning to upgrade Metron's operating system later this month, so there might be some downtime (most likely a few hours) when I do that. Once I have a better idea what changes this version has (PostgreSQL-16.2, Python-3.12, etc.) I'll have a better idea the work involved. Regardless, I'll post a notification on the site for the week leading to the upgrade, which most likely will occur on a Saturday.

Anyway, that's all I've got for this month. Take care!
