0.21.0 Latest

11 Oct 2026

Consider supporting the development on Patreon or OpenCollective to keep Mihon improving!

Check out the past release notes if you're upgrading from an earlier version.

INFO

This is the last major version to support Tachiyomi's backup format (.tachibk) and extensions made for it.

After this version, Mihon won't be able to restore backups in Tachiyomi's backup format (.tachibk). The next version will also drop compatibility with extensions made for Tachiyomi (1.4 extensions). This is being done to reduce maintenance burden and simplify things for upcoming features.

From the next update, the only way to restore a .tachibk backup file will be to restore on this version first, then update to the latest Mihon version.

DANGER

Ensure you have a up to date backup before updating to this version, @AntsyLich

🚀 Improvements

Mihon is a lot faster, especially with big libraries: the library, history, updates, browse, statistics and entry details screens all open quicker, startup is faster, and the app stutters and freezes less (@AntsyLich)
The reader loads pages faster and gets the next pages and chapter ready ahead of time (@AntsyLich)
Downloads start faster, and queueing lots of chapters at once is much quicker (@AntsyLich)
Smarter "next update" times for your library that follow each series' release schedule (@AntsyLich)
Better chapter number detection (@AntsyLich)
Extension setting changes now apply without restarting the app, and extension updates show up right after launch (@AntsyLich)
Extensions that fail to load now tell you why, and can still be updated (@AntsyLich)
Sources behind Cloudflare now fail sooner when you need to solve a challenge (@tigeryu8900)
The extensions list now shows which repo each extension comes from (@AntsyLich)
Tracker search improvements: MangaUpdates shows scores, searching again cancels the last search, and a clearer message when your AniList login has expired (@MajorTanya, @AntsyLich)
Restoring a backup now uses the system file picker (@MajorTanya)
Settings search can now find settings by their section name (@kaosjammo, @AntsyLich)
The filter icon in Updates and Upcoming now shows when a filter is on (@Secozzi)
