Introduces UI elements and logic for selecting between stable and nightly yt-dlp release channels in the updater tab, with support for switching channels and displaying status. Updates all language files with new strings for channel selection and status messages, and adds a default 'ytdlp_channel' config key.
Refactored auto-update settings for yt-dlp from DownloadSettingsDialog to the UpdaterTabWidget in the Custom Options dialog. Updated logic to use ConfigManager for settings management and ensured settings are saved when the dialog is accepted. This improves separation of concerns and centralizes update-related options.
Introduces a new FFmpeg updater module for checking and updating FFmpeg to the latest essentials build, with progress reporting and version comparison. Updates language files with new translation keys for the updater in multiple languages. Refactors Windows FFmpeg installation to use the new updater logic. Adds UpdaterTabWidget to the GUI dialogs for integration of the updater into the application's interface.
Introduces new settings for forcing output format when merging videos, allowing users to select a preferred format (mp4, webm, mkv). Updates all language files with relevant translations, adds UI controls in the settings dialog, persists settings via ConfigManager, and passes options through the download workflow to yt-dlp.
Replaces manual update check logic in DownloadSettingsDialog with a dedicated YTDLPUpdateDialog for progress tracking. Removes the 'Update yt-dlp' button and related logic from the main window. Updates translation strings in all supported languages to reflect the new update dialog flow and button labeling.
Introduces a download history dialog with thumbnail previews, redownload, and remove options. Updates all language files to support history-related UI strings. Adds HistoryManager utility and integrates history dialog into the main GUI. Enhances downloader to better track final downloaded files and merged outputs.
Replaces hardcoded version strings with the APP_VERSION constant in both the main window and About dialog. This ensures version consistency across the application and simplifies future version updates.
Improves the cookies tab in CustomOptionsDialog by making browser extraction the recommended default, updating the status indicator to show active cookies, and adding an Apply button to confirm cookie settings. Refactors radio button logic, status updates, and integrates user feedback via QMessageBox.
Refactored all modules to remove dependency on the yt-dlp Python package, switching to subprocess calls to the yt-dlp binary for all extraction and update operations. Update logic now exclusively manages the app's own yt-dlp binary and no longer supports pip-based updates. Simplified format/audio detection and thumbnail extraction to use CLI heuristics and subprocess output. This improves reliability and avoids Python package conflicts.
Replaces hardcoded update and error strings in ytsage_dialogs_update.py with internationalized messages. Adds new translation keys for update success, already latest, network error, general error, pip update errors, and pip update failed in all supported languages.
Replaced hardcoded status and fallback messages with localized strings across downloader, update, and main UI modules. Updated language files for all supported languages to include new keys for fallback download status, pip timeout, invalid URL, zero selected, and playlist selection dialog title. This improves internationalization and consistency of user-facing messages.
Introduces new translation keys for file exists and auto-update dialogs in all supported languages. Updates the settings and main GUI to use these i18n strings instead of hardcoded English text, improving localization and user experience.
Replaced hardcoded status and error messages with localized strings throughout the downloader, main GUI, update dialog, and video info components. Updated English and Spanish language files with new keys for download statuses, errors, playlist info, and UI labels to improve internationalization and maintainability.
Introduces English and Spanish translation files, integrates localization throughout dialogs, and adds a language selection tab to the custom options dialog. UI strings are now loaded via the localization manager, enabling dynamic language switching and improved internationalization.
Proxy settings (main and geo-verification) are now loaded from and saved to the ConfigManager. The dialogs and main app have been updated to initialize and persist proxy values, and user feedback is improved for proxy changes and clearing.
Introduces proxy and geo-verification proxy options to the downloader and GUI dialogs, allowing users to specify network proxies for downloads and geo-restricted content. Updates the DownloadThread and main app logic to pass and apply these proxy settings, and adds validation and status indicators in the custom options dialog.

* refactor: remove unused imports and streamline code formatting across multiple files
* - **refactor: drop `pygame` in favor of built-in `PySide6` sound**
- Removed `pygame` dependency (too heavy just for notifications).
- Replaced with `QSoundEffect`, which is lightweight and built into `PySide6`.
- Dropped `pygame.mixer` + threading → Qt handles async playback.
- Implemented sound playback with `QUrl.fromLocalFile()` and `.play()`.

- Removed unnecessary import checks (logger is always available)
- Replaced `raise` statements with error logging to prevent crashes
- Use `logger.exception()` in `except` blocks to capture traceback (logged as error)
**style: remove redundant str() in f-strings**
- Dropped explicit `str()` calls inside f-strings
- f-strings already call `str()` under the hood
**chore: add type hints for GUI mixins**
- Added type hints for `FormatTableMixin` (`src.gui.ytsage_gui_format_table`)
- Added type hints for `VideoInfoMixin` (`src.gui.ytsage_gui_video_info`)

- Provides safe error handling with logging instead of raising exceptions.
- Persists updates back to disk automatically.
- **Usage**
```python
from src.utils.ytsage_config_manager import ConfigManager
download_path = ConfigManager.get("download_path")
ConfigManager.set("download_path", "D:/Downloads")
last_check = ConfigManager.get("cached_versions.ytdlp.last_check")
ConfigManager.delete("cached_versions.ffmpeg.path")
```

* **refactore: notification sound**
- `QSoundEffect` is chnaged back to `pyglet` as per mainter `@oop7` choise.
- simplify the logic.
* remove: import check, it should always work.
* **fix: runtime error**
- yt_dlp moved from `--excludes` to `--packages` in `build-windows.yml`
- In frozen build, logger will not log to consol. insted will log to file.
- In frozen build, `app_dir` is next to `.exe` file.
* chang back to checking import for ytdlp
* Bump version to 4.8.1
Update version references from 4.8.0b to 4.8.1 in __init__.py, main app, and About dialog to reflect the new release.
* Update asset paths in build workflows
Changed asset inclusion and screenshot removal paths from 'assets' to 'lib/assets' in Linux, macOS, and Windows build workflows to reflect new directory structure and ensure screenshots are excluded from packaged builds.
* Bump version to 4.8.2
Update version references from 4.8.1 to 4.8.2 in source files and documentation to prepare for a new patch release.
* Fix asset include path in Windows build workflow
Corrects the syntax for including asset files in the build-windows.yml workflow by changing 'assets,lib/assets' to 'assets=lib/assets'. This ensures assets are properly mapped during the build process.
* Update release tag examples in CI/CD README
Changed the example git tag commands from v4.8.0 and v4.8.2 to v4.8.1 for consistency in the CI/CD documentation.
* Fix include-files mapping in Windows build workflow
Changed the cx_Freeze --include-files argument from '=' to ':' for source:destination mapping in build-windows.yml. This resolves an issue where '=' was treated as a literal path, ensuring assets are correctly copied to the destination directory.
* Remove redundant comments in build-windows workflow
Deleted comments explaining the colon usage for source:destination mapping in the cx_Freeze CLI, as the mapping is already clear from the context.
* Refactor Windows build to use cx_Freeze setup script
Replaces direct cx_Freeze CLI calls with dynamically generated setup scripts for both standard and FFmpeg builds. This improves maintainability and flexibility of build configuration in the GitHub Actions workflow.
* Bump version to 4.8.3
Updated version references from 4.8.2 to 4.8.3 in __init__.py, main app, and About dialog to reflect the new release.

Refactored version detection to use importlib.metadata when available, with fallback to pkg_resources for older Python versions. Enhanced app-managed binary detection by safely comparing paths and handling missing files, improving robustness in update logic for both core and GUI update threads.
Downgraded PYTHON_VERSION in build-windows.yml from 3.13.6 to 3.13.5. Removed SUBPROCESS_CREATIONFLAGS import and usage from ytsage_dialogs_custom.py as it was no longer needed.
Passes SUBPROCESS_CREATIONFLAGS to subprocess.Popen in CommandWorker for improved process control. Imports SUBPROCESS_CREATIONFLAGS from ytsage_constants.
Refactored custom command execution to use a worker class with signals for better threading and output handling. Improved the CustomOptionsDialog with cookie source selection (file or browser), browser selection UI, and more robust cookie path handling. Enhanced UI styling, help texts, and input validation. Removed command preview from TimeRangeDialog and streamlined dialog layouts for clarity and usability.
Deleted CookieLoginDialog and CustomCommandDialog from imports and __all__ exports in ytsage_gui_dialogs/__init__.py, likely because these dialogs are no longer needed or have been removed from the codebase.
