Excellent, have been watching this.
Warning from the release:
Beware of any new fake versions of Mihon or Tachiyomi.
That’s fast, I just looked at the GitHub repo this morning and didn’t see anything there
Anyone know why the change? I’m aware that they were being targeted but I thought removing the extensions had appeased the kcorp.
Kakao (or whatever they’re called) were going after everyone involved, so Tachiyomi has been deprecated, one of the devs forked it and will continue development.
Mihon is from the tachiyomiSY devs, ick I don’t know if they are the same but from a glance they are different.
A long time Tachiyomi developer made the commits making branding changes to Mihon, so they might work together. But as they didn’t fork TachiyomiSY, its dev might continue work on it too.
When is tachiyomi expected to not function anymore?
For now it should work but it will have an increasing likelihood of breaking with every future Android Update.
Migrating to Mihon now is recommended, one of the devs worked on Tachiyomi and for now the code is almost identical which allows easy migration via a Tachiyomi Backup.
Migrating in the future might be more difficult because incompatibility between Tachiyomi and future versions of Mihon could mean Backups from Tachiyomi cannot be restored by Mihon.
Thanks OP, an FYI you can restore a Tachiyomi backup from Mihon to migrate straight across 👍
During setup there will be a page that asks if you want to create or restore from backups. If you hit “restore”, it’ll ask you to point it to the backups folder inside the Tachiyomi folder. Tachiyomi has backups set up by default, but if it’s disabled you can go to the settings to create a backup
