Changelog

All notable changes to Multi-Debrid Downloader are documented in this file.

[2.0.14] - 2026-08-10

Highlights

• Added immediate English/German language switching across the complete interface. New installations now start in English, while existing installations retain their previous language behavior until changed.
• Added RapidGator file-size discovery before downloads start and accelerated large queue checks with bounded parallel requests.
• Added package and file availability states with aligned online counters, clear colors, and automatic migration of existing column layouts.
• Reworked the Downloads workspace for substantially denser queues, smoother interaction, clearer selection, and responsive column sizing.
• Rebuilt the project README with current documentation and a sanitized screenshot of the application.

Downloads workspace

• Reduced package rows to 40 pixels and file rows to 38 pixels so more queue entries fit on screen.
• Removed the previous blue package-card treatment in favor of flat rows and restrained separators.
• Changed progress fills to green and unified package/file value contrast.
• Added stable minimum widths and proportional column distribution so labels and values remain readable at normal window sizes.
• Centered all data columns while preserving left alignment for package and file names.
• Increased the action column width and reserved scrollbar space to prevent clipping.
• Normalized expand buttons to a fixed 30 × 30 pixel footprint.
• Added a 300 ms measured expand/collapse animation for package files.
• Added smooth, pointer-based full-column reordering. The dragged header and every visible cell move together while neighboring columns glide aside.
• Added persistent column-order migration with the new Availability column.
• Added RapidGator and DDownload hoster icons with full-name tooltips and text fallback for unknown hosters.

Availability and metadata

• Added package-level online counters with separate online, partial, offline, and checking states.
• Added file-level Online and Offline indicators.
• Aligned availability symbols, counts, separators, and labels on fixed axes.
• Read RapidGator file names and sizes from the public file page without creating a debrid download.
• Replaced sequential link checks with bounded concurrency and duplicate-request sharing.
• Improved retry behavior for transient RapidGator metadata failures.
• Updated known file and package sizes while the queue is checked.
• Corrected the sidebar Total value to represent the current queue instead of the historical all-time download counter.

Selection and package controls

• Fixed global Select all and Deselect all synchronization for memoized package rows.
• Increased selection checkboxes to 18 × 18 pixels.
• Added a green selected-row background and a clear left selection edge.
• Added Shift range selection across visible package and file rows.
• Added Escape handling to clear the complete selection, including when a checkbox has focus.
• Removed the redundant package activation checkbox; activation remains available through context actions.
• Preserved additive Ctrl/Command selection and bulk actions.

Navigation and animation

• Added a shared sliding selection indicator to the main navigation.
• Added matching sliding indicators to Downloads filters, Settings sections, History ranges, and Statistics periods.
• Fixed initial category selection so newly opened views appear selected immediately instead of fading in from an empty state.
• Preserved intentional interface animations when the operating system requests reduced motion.
• Added slide-in and slide-out transitions to the File, Settings, and Help menus.
• Kept menu panels within the application window at narrow widths.
• Added rolling number transitions for package, link, session, total-size, and hoster statistics.

Interface and layout

• Added the application icon and a bordered product identity area to the main header.
• Standardized sidebar geometry across Link collector, Settings, History, and Statistics.
• Reworked Downloads sidebar actions as permanently recognizable bordered buttons.
• Moved Monitor clipboard directly above the statistics panel, added the same button surface, and reduced the lower gap.
• Made clipboard toggling optimistic so the checkbox responds immediately and safely rolls back on an IPC failure.
• Hid the redundant Files display mode and retained a focused package workflow.
• Improved header, menu, account-table, progress-value, and status text contrast.
• Unified the speed indicator with the rest of the application shell.
• Fixed duplicated Speed wording in the Downloads sidebar summary.

Localization

• Added persistent English and Deutsch language settings.
• Localized navigation, menus, settings, dialogs, notifications, tooltips, empty states, status labels, history entries, pagination, and update flows.
• Fixed remaining German history statuses appearing while English was selected.
• Kept existing installations compatible while setting English as the default for new installations.
• Localized manual update checks and the GitHub release changelog display.

History, settings, and accounts

• Matched History action buttons to the Downloads action-button design.
• Centered History column headings except Package / File.
• Changed removed history entries to red and completed entries to green.
• Unified account-table header text with the primary high-contrast text color.
• Kept Account Overview and Usage Rules within a stable viewport layout.
• Aligned the update-check action to the right and kept Save settings visibly disabled when no changes are pending.

Development and reliability

• Assigned the downloader development server a fixed port to prevent another Electron project from being opened accidentally.
• Added strict development URL resolution for the correct Vite instance.
• Packaged the application icon as an unpacked resource and resolved it from the correct development or installed path for window and tray use.
• Improved settings migration for language and column-order versions.
• Added regression coverage for localization, availability, column dragging, navigation indicators, queue totals, metadata checks, selection, clipboard behavior, and responsive layout contracts.

[2.0.13] - 2026-08-10

• Rebuilt the primary desktop workspace across Downloads, Link collector, Settings, History, and Statistics.
• Added compact navigation, contextual sidebars, dense data tables, account management improvements, and responsive layouts.

[2.0.12] - 2026-08-10

• Prevented static Settings text from being selected while keeping editable fields selectable.

[2.0.11] - 2026-08-10

• Stabilized the account-management layout when switching between Overview and Usage Rules.
