# Changelog
-All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
+All notable changes to Firelink will be documented in this file.
The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),
and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
-## [Unreleased]
+## [1.0.0] - 2026-07-04
-### Changed
-- Promote the Rust, Tauri, React, and TypeScript application to the repository root.
-- Archive the original SwiftUI implementation under `legacy/swift`.
-- Refresh project documentation, package metadata, CI, and the in-app About section for the current architecture and migration status.
+### Highlights
+- Firelink is now a cross-platform desktop download manager built with Rust, Tauri, React, and TypeScript.
+- macOS, Windows, and Linux release builds are prepared through native GitHub Actions runners.
+- The older macOS-only Swift app has been removed from the active product and replaced by the new desktop app.
-### Removed
-- Delete obsolete template assets, scratch files, duplicate icon exports, and unused backend helpers.
+### New
+- Add full browser-to-desktop integration through Firelink Companion, including signed local requests, desktop identity checks, and automatic-capture protection.
+- Add a complete Add window for links captured from the browser, pasted manually, or extracted from media pages.
+- Add segmented direct downloads, media downloads, queue controls, scheduling, speed limits, and duplicate handling.
+- Add persistent downloads, categories, save-location settings, site logins, and safe redownload behavior.
+- Add native tray controls, notifications, completion sounds, sleep prevention, file reveal/open/trash actions, and OS keychain support where available.
+- Add built-in diagnostics for media engines, app logs, packaged-engine validation, and release smoke checks.
+
+### Improved
+- Rework the main window, settings, logs, Add window, download list, toasts, context menus, and table interactions for the new desktop interface.
+- Improve media extraction with better YouTube metadata loading, format filtering, size estimates, output names, progress, retries, and cleanup.
+- Improve download reliability on rate-limited servers, servers with broken range support, interrupted app sessions, and queue-concurrency changes.
+- Improve extension captures so browser downloads are resumed unless Firelink confirms the handoff.
+- Improve cross-platform packaging by bundling target-specific aria2, yt-dlp, FFmpeg, and Deno payloads.
+- Improve privacy by avoiding startup keychain prompts, redacting secrets from local persistence, and narrowing when browser cookies are forwarded.
+
+### Fixed
+- Fix stuck queued/downloading/completed states, stale aria2 dispatches, queue shrink behavior, retry caps, scheduler actions, and post-queue system actions.
+- Fix many Windows, Linux, and macOS packaging issues, including hidden helper consoles, AppImage engine handling, installer validation, and smoke-test timing.
+- Fix media child-process cleanup so paused, canceled, failed, or removed downloads do not leave stray processes or partial files behind.
+- Fix UI hangs, overflow, sorting, selection, animation, and contrast issues across the main list, Add window, settings, and log viewer.
+- Fix security issues around local server authentication, request signing, replay protection, private IP metadata checks, path ownership, header sanitization, and command execution boundaries.
+
+### Notes
+- This is a major release from `0.7.3`. Older Firelink Companion builds are not compatible with every 1.0 capture path; update the extension together with the desktop app.
+- macOS builds are unsigned and not notarized. Windows builds are unsigned. See [RELEASE.md](RELEASE.md) for distribution details.

+## Why Firelink
-Firelink brings segmented downloads, media extraction, scheduling, and browser integration into one native-feeling desktop application. The application is built with a Rust backend and a React/TypeScript interface, providing excellent cross-platform support.
+Firelink is built for people who want a real desktop download manager again: fast segmented transfers, browser capture, media extraction, scheduling, recovery, and clear control over where files land. Version 1.0.0 completes the move from the earlier macOS-only Swift app to a modern Rust/Tauri application with a React and TypeScript interface.
+
+The app keeps the heavy work native. Downloads are coordinated by a Rust backend, accelerated with aria2, enriched with yt-dlp and FFmpeg for media workflows, and persisted locally with SQLite so queues survive restarts and app updates.
## Features
-- **Fast transfers** with segmented downloading powered by aria2
-- **Media downloads** through yt-dlp, FFmpeg, and Deno
-- **Persistent queues** with configurable concurrency and speed limits
-- **Download scheduling** with optional post-queue system actions
-- **Pause, resume, retry, and duplicate-file handling**
-- **Smart organization** with categories and configurable destinations
-- **Browser integration** through the Firelink Companion extension
-- **Secure local handoff** using authenticated extension pairing
-- **System integration** including tray controls, notifications, and sleep prevention
-- **Built-in update checks** backed by GitHub Releases
+- **Fast segmented downloads** powered by aria2 with configurable connections, retries, and speed limits.
+- **Media extraction** with yt-dlp, FFmpeg, and Deno for video/audio links and richer format selection.
+- **A real Add window** for manual, extension-captured, and media downloads, including metadata, duplicate handling, and save-location choices before downloads start.
+- **Persistent queue management** with safe concurrency limits, pause/resume, retry, redownload, sorting, multi-select, and bulk controls.
+- **Download scheduling** with start/stop windows, speed-limiter tools, and optional post-queue actions.
+- **Smart organization** through categories, default folders, per-download overrides, and open/reveal/trash actions.
+- **Private browser handoff** through authenticated local pairing with replay protection and desktop-server proof checks.
+- **Native desktop integration** including tray controls, notifications, completion sounds, sleep prevention, and OS keychain support where available.
+- **Diagnostics built in** with engine health checks, structured logs, and packaged-engine verification.
## Installation
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> The cross-platform rust implementation is completing release packaging for macOS, Windows, and Linux. The current `v0.7.3` macOS asset on GitHub Releases belongs to the archived SwiftUI implementation.
+Download the latest desktop build from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/nimbold/Firelink/releases).
-For now, run the maintained application from source using the development instructions below. New packaged builds will be published through [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/nimbold/Firelink/releases) once the packaging CI workflow is fully ready.
+| Platform | Package | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| **macOS Apple silicon** | `.dmg` | Unsigned and not notarized. Open through Finder or approve once in **System Settings -> Privacy & Security**. |
+| **Windows x64** | NSIS `.exe` installer | Unsigned. Windows SmartScreen may warn until code signing is added. |
+| **Linux x64** | `.AppImage` | Make executable before launching if your desktop environment does not do that automatically. |
-Production bundles include target-specific media engines, so packaged releases do not require separate aria2, yt-dlp, FFmpeg, Deno, Python, or package-manager installations.
+Production bundles include the required media engines for the target platform. Users do not need to install aria2, yt-dlp, FFmpeg, Deno, Python, Homebrew, or a package manager for normal app usage.
-macOS builds are distributed without Apple code signing or notarization. Users must approve the downloaded app through Finder or **System Settings → Privacy & Security**. Firelink does not claim Gatekeeper trust.
