## [1.1.1] - 2026-07-17
|
||||
|
||||
This patch release focuses on transfer reliability, browser captures, and easier download control.
|
||||
|
||||
### New
|
||||
- Add YouTube playlist downloads with smoother queueing and scrolling for large playlists.
|
||||
- Add live per-download connection controls, clipboard capture for the Add window, and byte-level progress updates.
|
||||
|
||||
### Improved
|
||||
- Recover slow or stalled transfers more reliably and apply connection defaults consistently, addressing [#19](https://github.com/nimbold/Firelink/issues/19) and [#20](https://github.com/nimbold/Firelink/issues/20).
|
||||
- Make pause, resume, retry, cancel, remove, and completion handling more consistent when actions or background events overlap.
|
||||
- Improve playlist state, media size estimates, and large-list performance.
|
||||
- Keep clipboard, browser, and deep-link handoffs behind the startup consent explanation, and make that boundary clearer.
|
||||
- Refresh bundled engines and dependencies while strengthening cross-platform package and diagnostic checks.
|
||||
|
||||
### Fixed
|
||||
- Fix Gmail and other authenticated browser downloads that could lose their filename or save a sign-in page after a redirect, including Chrome Incognito, addressing [#21](https://github.com/nimbold/Firelink/issues/21).
|
||||
- Keep browser-capture metadata, cookies, and destinations tied to the correct download through redirects.
|
||||
- Prevent invalid URLs, late download events, stale progress, and abandoned media work from creating misleading rows or leftover temporary files.
|
||||
- Keep sensitive local paths, credentials, and persisted records protected in errors, diagnostics, and download state.
|
||||
|
||||
## [1.1.0] - 2026-07-15
|
||||
|
||||
This is a stability-focused release with safer downloads, browser handoffs, settings, and cross-platform packages.
