Switch pip install to use PEP 517 (pyproject.toml) instead of requirements.txt and update cache key accordingly. Refactor cx_Freeze setup to use new asset paths, add entry point script, and adjust include_files for correct packaging structure.
Introduces creation of a Flatpak-specific desktop file with correct Exec and Icon fields. Adds DENO_APP_BIN_PATH environment variable to Flatpak manifest and updates install commands 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Changed the FFmpeg download link in the build-windows.yml workflow to use the official gyan.dev source instead of the GitHub release. This ensures the workflow uses the latest and most reliable FFmpeg builds.
Refined the asset inclusion in Linux, macOS, and Windows build workflows to specify subdirectories for branding icons, Icon, and sound assets. This change ensures only the necessary asset folders are packaged, improving build consistency across platforms.
Added the 'languages' directory to the list of files included in the build artifacts for Linux, macOS, and Windows workflows. This ensures language files are packaged with the application across all platforms.
Bump actions/checkout to v5, actions/setup-python to v6, and actions/cache to v4 in build workflows for Linux, macOS, and Windows. This ensures the workflows use the latest features and security updates from GitHub Actions.

Corrects indentation of the 'Package and prepare release artifacts' step in the build-linux workflow to ensure proper execution of artifact packaging commands.
Replaces DEB creation via alien with a native packaging step using dpkg-deb. Updates desktop file Exec path, improves artifact staging, and adds post-install scripts for desktop integration. This streamlines DEB builds and improves compatibility with Debian-based systems.
The postinst script responsible for placing the desktop icon during DEB package installation has been removed from the build workflow. This simplifies the packaging process and eliminates custom post-installation steps.
Introduces a debian/postinst script in the build workflow to copy the ytsage.desktop file to the user's desktop during DEB package installation, ensuring the desktop icon is available. Also updates the icon cache and handles cases where the desktop directory or SUDO_USER is not set.
Deleted post-processing steps that manually fixed desktop entry and icon placement in DEB packages after conversion from RPM. This streamlines the build process and removes custom extraction and repackaging logic.
Enhanced the workflow to handle multiple data archive compression formats (xz, gz, zst) when extracting and repackaging DEB files. Added checks for the presence of the data archive and updated extraction and repackaging commands to match the detected format, improving robustness and compatibility.
Adds a post-processing step to ensure desktop entry and icon files are correctly placed in DEB packages built via alien, addressing issues where alien may miss proper desktop integration.
Standardizes executable and artifact naming to 'ytsage' and includes architecture in output filenames. Adds desktop entry and RPM install script for better desktop integration. Updates AppImage and RPM metadata, and ensures proper icon and category handling for Linux builds.
Changed the internal executable target name to 'YTSage' instead of including the version. The AppImage filename still includes the version, but the base executable name is now consistent and versionless.
Introduces a GitHub Actions workflow to automate building and packaging Linux releases on tag push. The workflow sets up Python, installs dependencies, builds AppImage, RPM, and DEB packages using cx_Freeze, and uploads artifacts to a draft GitHub release.
The build workflow now runs on both macos-14 and macos-13 using a matrix strategy. Artifact names for .app and .dmg files now include architecture suffixes (arm64/x64), and additional environment variables are set for architecture detection. The release step is updated to append to the draft release and handle unmatched files gracefully.
Enhanced the workflow to robustly locate .app and .dmg files in both dist/ and build/ directories, ensuring screenshots are removed from the .app bundle before packaging. Added directory listings for debugging and improved artifact naming and copying logic for more reliable release preparation.
Introduces a GitHub Actions workflow for building and packaging macOS releases. Automates version extraction, Python environment setup, dependency installation, app and DMG creation, artifact packaging, and draft release publishing for tagged commits.
Updated the build-windows.yml workflow to use pyglet instead of playsound3 in the list of packaged Python dependencies. This change ensures the correct audio library is included during Windows builds.
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.
Updated the build-windows.yml workflow to use Python 3.13.6, improved build steps for both standard and FFmpeg bundle versions, added dependency caching, enhanced artifact packaging, and modernized the release draft with clearer instructions and changelog links.
Simplifies and modernizes the GitHub Actions workflow for building Windows releases. Updates Python version, streamlines steps for dependency installation, build, FFmpeg bundling, artifact packaging, and release creation. Uses more concise PowerShell scripts and updates action versions for improved maintainability.
Removes the screenshots folder from both Standard and FFmpeg build outputs in the Windows workflow. Also updates artifact ZIP naming to include '-portable' for clarity in release notes and file names.
Bumps PYTHON_VERSION to 3.13.6 in the Windows build workflow. Replaces cx_Freeze CLI FFmpeg include logic with a post-build step that copies FFmpeg binaries directly into the dist folder for improved reliability.
Replaces individual asset and source file mappings with broader 'src' and 'assets' directory includes in the cx_Freeze build steps. Also updates FFmpeg file inclusion to use only the source path, removing explicit destination mapping.
Updated CI/CD documentation and workflow to generate only ZIP portable versions for Windows, removing MSI installer support. Deleted setup.py and setup-ffmpeg.py scripts for MSI builds, and refactored workflow to use cx_Freeze CLI for ZIP packaging. Documentation and artifact instructions now reflect ZIP-only distribution.
Deleted the step that removes MSI files from the dist directory in the Windows build workflow. This may be to preserve MSI artifacts for later use or debugging.
Removed problematic summary_data and install_icon from MSI build options in setup.py and setup-ffmpeg.py to address cx_Freeze build issues. Updated target_name and version fields to 4.7.4. Enhanced build-windows.yml with improved artifact cleanup and error handling for MSI creation.
