Introduces creation of a dedicated desktop file for Flatpak packaging in the build-linux workflow. Ensures the Exec and Icon fields conform to Flatpak requirements and updates the install step to use the new desktop file.
Changed the Flatpak runtime and SDK version from 6.6 to 6.10 in the build-linux GitHub Actions workflow to ensure compatibility with the latest KDE platform.
Introduces a Flatpak packaging step to the Linux CI workflow and updates ytsage_constants.py to support overriding the yt-dlp binary path via the YTDLP_APP_BIN_PATH environment variable, which is critical for Flatpak compatibility. Also ensures the custom yt-dlp directory is created if the environment variable is set.
Revamps the CI/CD documentation to reflect the new manual workflow dispatch system, replacing tag-based triggers. Adds detailed instructions for running full or platform-specific builds, clarifies artifact naming, and updates configuration and process notes to match the current GitHub Actions setup.
Refactored build workflows for Linux, macOS, and Windows to use workflow_dispatch and workflow_call with explicit version input, replacing tag-based triggers. Updated release steps to use the provided version input for tagging and naming. Added a new release-all workflow to trigger all platform builds with a single version input.
Removed the matrix strategy for multiple macOS runners and set the workflow to use only macos-latest. Simplifies the build process and reduces resource usage.
Introduces 'update in progress' messages to all supported languages and updates the GUI to prevent analysis or downloads while yt-dlp is updating. Adds flags to track update and analysis states, ensuring user actions are blocked with appropriate warnings during updates.
Enhances the verify_deno_sha256 function to support both standard Unix and verbose checksum file formats. Adds debug logging for cases where the hash cannot be found.
Eliminates logic for locating and including Qt6 plugins in the build-linux workflow. This simplifies the build process and removes conditional inclusion of Qt6 plugin files.
Updated the build-linux.yml workflow to use absolute paths for the desktop file and icon during RPM packaging, ensuring correct file installation regardless of the build directory structure.
Updates the build-linux.yml workflow to use absolute paths for build directory and asset installation during RPM packaging. This ensures files are correctly located and copied, improving reliability of the build process.
Refactors the cx_Freeze setup to dynamically include Qt6 plugins if available, ensuring proper QPA support. Replaces the previous RPM build step with a manual process using a custom spec file to bundle all dependencies and avoid auto-detected system requirements. Cleans up packaging metadata and improves file inclusion logic for more reliable Linux builds.
Improved the appearance and spacing of the URL input, paste, and analyze buttons in the main GUI, including updated padding, border, and color styles. Adjusted font sizes and colors for video info labels for a more consistent and polished look.
Updated the 'views', 'likes', 'upload_date', and 'duration' fields in the video_info section across all language files to include relevant icons for improved visual clarity and consistency in the UI.
Replaces capture_output with stdout and stderr redirected to DEVNULL in subprocess.run for taskkill, preventing codec issues and suppressing command output.
Updated the 'analyzing_extracting_ytdlp' translation string in all language files to remove the explicit mention of 'yt-dlp', making the message more generic and consistent across supported languages.
Enhanced cross-platform process tree termination for downloads, using process groups on Unix and taskkill on Windows. Improved file deletion reliability by increasing retries, adding garbage collection, and adjusting backoff logic. Refactored process startup to support process group management and ensured proper resource cleanup after cancellation.
Added logic to disable the analyze button until a non-empty URL is entered. Updated button styling for the disabled state and ensured consistent enabling/disabling of the analyze button based on input and control state.
Updated the build-windows.yml workflow to exclude ffplay.exe from verification and distribution steps, as only ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe are required by the application.
Update logic in updater dialog and main app to fetch latest version info from PyPI instead of GitHub API, avoiding rate limiting issues. Changelog is now fetched from GitHub only as a fallback, improving reliability of update checks.
Refactored cookie settings initialization and application to use ConfigManager for persistence. Cookie source, browser, profile, file path, and active status are now saved and loaded from config, ensuring consistent behavior across sessions. Cookies remain inactive on app launch until explicitly applied by the user.
Added new localized status messages for thumbnail saving in all supported languages. Refactored the thumbnail saving logic in ytsage_gui_video_info.py to use cached images from analysis instead of extracting via yt-dlp subprocess, improving reliability and performance.
Bump actions/checkout to v6 and softprops/action-gh-release to v2 in all build workflows. Remove yt-dlp from pip install steps for Linux, macOS, and Windows workflows to streamline dependency installation.
Updated the bug report issue template to include step-by-step instructions for users to collect and attach log files from the appropriate directory on Windows, macOS, and Linux. This will help streamline the debugging process by ensuring relevant logs are provided.
Added references to new screenshots (Custom-Option.png, Download-Settings.png) and adjusted the order of listed files in the documentation assets section for clarity.
Added new screenshots for Custom Option and Download Settings. Updated audio_format, main, and playlist screenshots. Removed obsolete subtitle_options screenshot.
Added details about audio format conversion and video format settings. Clarified UI options for saving download path and output format. Updated feature table to reflect new and improved functionalities.
Audio format settings (force and preferred) are now updated from the preferences dialog. Tooltip update logic is extended to reflect changes in audio format settings.
Introduces settings and UI for forcing audio format conversion on audio-only downloads, including support for selecting preferred audio formats. Updates language files for all supported languages, adds config options, and passes new settings through the downloader and main app logic.
Introduced explicit type annotations for variables, function arguments, and return types in ytsage_downloader.py, ytsage_utils.py, and ytsage_config_manager.py. This improves code clarity, maintainability, and static analysis support.
