Multi-Debrid-Downloader/CHANGELOG.md

Changelog

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

[2.0.29] - 2026-08-13

Account and rotation reliability

• Applied rapid account enable and disable changes immediately, persisted every click in order, and reconciled the final state without losing fast consecutive changes.
• Refreshed Mega-Debrid API and Web account pools during active downloads without requiring an application restart.
• Isolated account attempt cancellation and timeouts so a failed or stalled account can rotate to the next enabled account within the same link conversion.
• Cleared stale account cooldowns, provider failures, API token work, and Web sessions when relevant credentials or enabled accounts change.
• Added explicit TEST, OK, and FAILED account-rotation evidence with masked account identities to diagnostics and support bundles.

Download lifecycle

• Kept Pause and Stop responsive while other interface actions are running and canceled active requests cleanly when pausing.
• Recovered persisted partial downloads by renewing expiring direct links and falling back to one clean full request after repeated range rejection.
• Preserved known online availability when resetting packages or selected files.
• Kept every start and resume path blocked when no usable download account is active.
• Reduced active session, speed, sparkline, and bandwidth updates to a stable 500 ms interface cadence.

Diagnostics and desktop integration

• Routed copy actions through Electron's native clipboard for reliable operation in hardened and Remote Desktop sessions.
• Made support bundle creation visibly active from the save dialog through the final write, prevented duplicate exports, and saved completed bundles atomically.
• Bounded support bundle queue data and recent log collection, kept the interface responsive during creation, and strengthened redaction for credentials, URLs, local paths, and account identifiers.

[2.0.28] - 2026-08-12

Startup reliability

• Fixed Electron security registration so native WebContents and session APIs retain their required receiver during application startup.
• Fixed packaged renderer IPC validation for case-insensitive Windows file paths.
• Added explicit startup and renderer-load error logging for future launch diagnostics.

[2.0.27] - 2026-08-12

Startup reliability

• Fixed Windows renderer startup validation so the packaged application accepts its own local renderer path regardless of path casing.
• Prevented the startup navigation guard from blocking the application window on case-insensitive Windows file systems.

[2.0.26] - 2026-08-12

Log storage

• Added a configurable log location in AppData or in a dedicated Desktop folder.
• Migrated recognised log files safely when changing location while keeping settings, credentials, and runtime data in AppData.
• Preserved active trace settings during log migration and routed startup recovery diagnostics to the selected log location.

[2.0.25] - 2026-08-12

Credential and application security

• Encrypted persisted provider credentials with the operating system credential protection and migrated legacy plaintext values safely.
• Removed provider secrets from renderer snapshots, account-check responses, settings backups, support diagnostics, and copied account details.
• Added passphrase-protected local backup encryption while keeping legacy backup import available without writing the legacy format again.
• Hardened Electron navigation, redirects, permissions, popup handling, remote-login windows, and IPC sender validation.
• Restricted remote diagnostics to loopback by default, Bearer authentication, POST-only mutations, rate limiting, non-cacheable responses, and token-free support URLs.

Storage reliability

• Added volume-aware capacity reservations before download writes, archive extraction, and media remux operations.
• Accounted for concurrent reservations and a configurable safety margin so parallel work cannot overbook the same volume.
• Parked capacity-blocked work without consuming regular retry attempts and exposed structured disk-wait state for automatic recovery.

Large queue performance

• Virtualized package and file rows with fixed row heights and overscan to keep very large queues responsive.
• Preserved logical range selection, select-all behavior, column dragging, context actions, expansion state, and inline renaming outside the rendered viewport.
• Kept the existing scroll container and limited DOM work without adding another runtime dependency.

Status and reliability

• Removed archive names from visible finalization progress in both German and English while retaining compact phase progress.
• Added focused regression coverage for credential migration, backup encryption, Electron trust boundaries, diagnostics authentication, disk reservations, and virtualized download rows.

[2.0.24] - 2026-08-11

Download queue

• Kept every package in its existing visible queue position when downloads start, finish, pause, retry, or change status.
• Removed status-driven package grouping and the obsolete automatic progress-sorting setting.
• Blocked start, package start, item start, and resume actions when no active usable download account is available.

Disk and extraction recovery

• Added a dedicated disk-wait recovery path for full, quota-limited, temporarily busy, and stalled write targets.
• Retried disk-blocked downloads automatically after storage becomes writable without consuming the normal download retry budget.
• Prioritized Waiting for disk at package level when one or more files are blocked by storage.
• Reported completed downloads with extraction failures as failed packages instead of showing a misleading completed file count.
• Removed redundant provider names from start, download, data-wait, and disk-wait status labels while preserving diagnostic details.

Reliability and testing

• Added regression coverage for unavailable and disabled accounts, resume protection, disk-write recovery, retry accounting, package-level disk waits, extraction failures, compact runtime statuses, and stable queue ordering.

[2.0.23] - 2026-08-11

Update experience

• Changed the available-update header action to a dedicated light-blue treatment with dark high-contrast text.
• Added cumulative release notes for every stable version newer than the installed application, ordered from newest to oldest.

• Kept mode-specific account availability and provider selection synchronized with live settings changes.
• Applied added, edited, disabled, and re-enabled Mega-Debrid accounts to the active scheduler without requiring an application restart.
• Invalidated cached Mega-Debrid Web Login sessions immediately when Web credentials change, prevented older in-flight, retried, and queued requests from restoring invalidated cookies, and left API-only changes isolated.
• Released only Mega-Debrid reset-parked queue items when a usable account pool becomes available while preserving unrelated retry delays.
• Prevented new Mega-Debrid account forms from exposing stored credentials in an unrelated token field.
