Changelog

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

[2.0.18] - 2026-08-11

Downloads and status handling

• Preserved package byte totals, completed-item counts, and extraction progress when finished files are removed immediately from the queue.
• Persisted cleaned package contributions so progress remains stable across application restarts.
• Preserved final history file counts, byte totals, providers, and source URLs after immediate cleanup.
• Reset selected files and their package post-processing state atomically after extraction failures.
• Waited for cancelled extraction work and resume-state cleanup before restarting reset downloads.
• Replaced contradictory unchecked package availability counters with a compact unchecked state.
• Reduced extraction errors, pending extraction phases, password phases, and archive processing to concise visible status labels while retaining full diagnostics in tooltips and logs.
• Cleared stale archive labels before final package state notifications and history updates.
• Removed native whole-row dragging that could create a large drag preview while preserving header column reordering and explicit package move actions.
• Expanded inline package-name editing to the full available name-column width.

Settings and account management

• Added history retention choices for the latest 100 or 250 entries.
• Kept permanent history retention selectable after using a bounded history preset.
• Replaced native settings selectors with smooth, keyboard-accessible dropdowns for consistent opening and closing motion.
• Reworked account creation into a compact searchable service table with separate service and access-type columns.
• Displayed only the credentials required by the selected account type.
• Separated usernames and email addresses in the account overview so verified email data no longer replaces a stored username.
• Kept Mega-Debrid access types explicit as Mega-Debrid (API) and Mega-Debrid (Web).

Interface fixes

• Centered the package sidebar heading and added a high-contrast light-blue module accent.
• Positioned context menus and nested menus before they become visible, preventing first-frame jumps at window edges.
• Closed open context menus immediately when another package or file is clicked.
• Kept context menus inside narrow application windows without introducing horizontal overflow.

Reliability and testing

• Added regression coverage for cleanup-safe package progress, persisted progress aggregates, extraction reset state, compact availability, extraction diagnostics, native drag suppression, full-width renaming, animated settings selectors, account identity fields, and viewport-safe context menus.

[2.0.17] - 2026-08-10

Interface fixes

• Added smooth horizontal opening and closing transitions to the Backup, Logs, Remote Support, and Diagnostics submenus.
• Kept nested menus mounted during closing so their exit motion remains visible instead of disappearing immediately.
• Preserved left-side submenu placement in narrow windows without restoring horizontal overflow.
• Removed hidden submenu actions from keyboard navigation and respected reduced-motion preferences.
• Simplified Mega-Debrid API service labels by removing redundant access-mode suffixes while retaining the complete source label as a tooltip.
• Reduced download and extraction status cells to the active operation and percentage while keeping diagnostic details in tooltips.

Reliability and testing

• Branded the development Electron executable with the application name, version metadata, and product icon for Windows system dialogs.
• Made development launches resilient to stale executable locks by isolating each runtime executable.
• Added regression coverage for persistent nested-menu rendering, hidden interaction states, and the shared submenu transition.
• Added a Windows regression check for development executable metadata.

[2.0.16] - 2026-08-10

Downloads and telemetry

• Started bandwidth-history collection with the active download session instead of waiting for the Statistics view to be opened.
• Kept the latest 60 seconds of speed samples available when Statistics is opened later.
• Updated the sidebar link counter immediately as individual files finish, fail, or leave the active queue.
• Added locale-aware thousands separators to package, link, and hoster counters.

Interface fixes

• Kept nested application-menu entries visible in narrow windows without introducing a horizontal scrollbar.
• Opened nested right-side menus toward the available left side of the application frame.
• Changed enabled settings switches to the semantic success color.
• Changed online file indicators to the semantic success color.
• Removed overlapping light text fragments from the dark-on-green progress labels and strengthened their weight.
• Made service and status labels react to their actual column width, with compact labels and complete accessible names and tooltips.
• Shortened Mega-Debrid service labels in narrow columns while preserving the full account description as a tooltip.

Reliability and testing

• Added regression coverage for background bandwidth sampling, 60-second history trimming, nested menu overflow, enabled switch colors, progress-label clipping, responsive service/status cells, immediate queue counts, and localized sidebar counters.

[2.0.15] - 2026-08-10

Highlights

• Unified live speed reporting across the header, package table, and sidebar with a single telemetry source and consistent two-decimal formatting.
• Reworked account creation into one clear service and access-type selector with the relevant credentials form directly below it.
• Improved dense download views with responsive status labels, clearer progress text, and safer package expansion behavior.

Downloads and telemetry

• Removed the redundant Add links toolbar action so Start is now the first download control.
• Removed the additional renderer delay for large active queues, allowing manager telemetry to appear without a second buffering interval.
• Kept the header sparkline, package speeds, and sidebar speed synchronized from the same package telemetry snapshot.
• Preserved known file sizes when an unrestrict response does not provide a replacement size, preventing temporary queue-total drops when a download starts.
• Restricted package expansion and collapse to the visible disclosure button so ordinary row clicks no longer change the package state.
• Added compact window labels for link conversion, active downloads, and extraction while retaining complete status details in tooltips and accessibility labels.
• Removed duplicated access-mode wording from Mega-Debrid service labels while preserving the complete source label as a tooltip.

Interface and accessibility

• Added clipped dual-color progress labels so text remains light over the unfilled track and dark over the green fill.
• Added a dedicated orange bandwidth-chart accent with a restrained matching area fill.
• Changed active premium account indicators to the success color.
• Kept the File, Settings, and Help menus inside the application frame at narrow window widths.
• Added semantic progressbar values and accessible labels to package and file size/progress meters.

Settings and accounts

• Replaced the expandable account-type list with a single service/access selector.
• Displayed the selected account type description and exactly one matching credentials form.
• Retained the existing account validation, protected secret fields, and save flow.

Reliability and testing

• Added regression coverage for stable file-size transitions, unified speed telemetry, responsive status presentation, service-label cleanup, progress contrast, package disclosure behavior, account selection, premium status colors, chart colors, toolbar ordering, and narrow application menus.

[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

• 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.
