Changelog

1.0.20 - 2026-09-06

• Fix automatic media-tool setup in long Windows paths by using the built-in archive extractor. Report extraction failures instead of accepting incomplete installations.
• Make queue cards easier to read with two-line titles, larger dates below the progress bar on the right, and 32-pixel remove and retry buttons.
• Show clearer download states, preserve the progress percentage while paused, and wrap long error messages. Keep the waiting status simple with a yellow dot and no badge background or outline.
• Open and close download details by double-clicking the card surface or using the dedicated keyboard-accessible arrow.
• Animate details smoothly in both directions with a matching arrow rotation. Respond immediately to rapid clicks and keep collapsed file actions out of keyboard navigation.
• Fix the Windows hot-development startup crash caused by looking for the application icon in the packaged resource directory.
• Add isolated queue-card checks for both languages and themes, keyboard controls, animation and rapid clicks; exclude local development data and bundled third-party tools from linting.

1.0.19 - 2026-08-14

• Provision managed Streamlink and FFmpeg automatically in the background after installation so first downloads start without tool setup delays.
• Show a dedicated "Preparing download tools" status in the queue while download tools are checked or installed before a download begins.

1.0.18 - 2026-08-14

• Install managed Streamlink and FFmpeg successfully on systems whose PowerShell only ships the built-in archive tooling.
• Recover interrupted merged downloads reliably when Windows reports the download folder through an 8.3 short path.
• Keep downloads working through a runnable system-provided Streamlink or FFmpeg even when the managed tool installation cannot be repaired right away.
• Fail managed tool downloads cleanly when the connection breaks mid-transfer instead of leaving the download start waiting indefinitely.
• Show in Settings when downloads remain available through a system installation while a managed tool is missing or unverified.
• Explain failed automatic tool installations consistently across single, live and merged downloads.
• Keep update downloads, progress, errors and changelog controls contained and responsive throughout the complete update flow.
• Preserve System Check results across language changes and keep repeated diagnostics in a clear terminal state.
• Expand Live Debug Log and Runtime Metrics layouts, improve dark-theme controls and make navigation and settings labels easier to read.
• Improve the video cutter with accessible new, open and save actions, unambiguous frame timecodes, multi-audio exports and verified VFR, AV1, HEVC, MKV, TS and AVI handling.
• Make streamer switching, multi-selection and bulk queue operations race-safe while preserving failed selections for retry.
• Keep queue status, progress, health, speed and remaining time accurate across pause, retry, completion and live recording changes.
• Harden sensitive configuration migration, provider error redaction, process shutdown, crash recovery and Windows installer upgrades.
• Add isolated validation for managed media tools, supported cutter media, Windows installation modes, Twitch provider access and published updater downloads.

1.0.17 - 2026-08-13

• Keep the loaded video cutter focused at every supported window size and give recovery notices their own layout space.
• Preserve recovered hardware encoder selections until export capabilities finish loading, and reject unsupported cutter files without changing the current project.
• Follow the Windows color scheme when the System theme is selected.
• Fully localize Runtime Metrics in German, including values, counts and error classes.
• Clear stale System Check results after configuration imports while keeping running controls correctly localized.
• Bound child-process shutdown waits so stalled exports cannot keep the application open indefinitely.

1.0.16 - 2026-08-13

• Preserve completed System Check results when switching between German and English.
• Relocalize successful and failed diagnostics, health badges and running check controls without stale language state.

• Expand Live Debug Log and Runtime Metrics to use the available Settings workspace.
• Improve dark-theme checkbox contrast with a green selection and dark checkmark.
• Prevent Auto-Cleanup options from being clipped.
• Increase primary navigation label size and improve inactive-label contrast.

1.0.14 - 2026-08-12

• Provision the Electron binary with a bounded retry before Windows CI smoke tests.

1.0.13 - 2026-08-12

• Apply the Windows CI retry to both directory and installer packaging.

1.0.12 - 2026-08-12

• Retry transient Electron download failures once while packaging on Windows CI.

1.0.11 - 2026-08-12

• Stabilize the Windows CI secure-storage test without invoking Electron's binary bootstrap outside Electron.

1.0.10 - 2026-08-12

• Ignore malformed updater events without a version instead of showing an unusable update prompt.
• Keep the cutter source selection out of the loaded editor layout and render each export profile indicator exactly once.

1.0.9 - 2026-08-12

• Waited for managed-tool checksum streams to close before promoting verified installations, preventing intermittent Windows repair failures caused by open file handles.

1.0.8 - 2026-08-12

• Updated the Windows CI runtime to Node.js 24.11.1, resolving the SQLite native-module crash that interrupted verification workers on Node.js 22.13.0.
• Corrected the file-capability test expectation for canonical Windows output paths, including 8.3 temporary-directory aliases.

1.0.7 - 2026-08-12

• Replaced versioned Windows Start menu shortcuts with one stable application entry, migrated legacy shortcuts during upgrades and refreshed the Windows Shell registration.
• Kept the application icon consistent across the installer, desktop shortcut, Start menu entry, taskbar and relaunch metadata.
• Repaired upgrades after incomplete per-user installations so missing program files are restored before shortcuts are refreshed.
• Fixed the available-update popover so pointer movement from the Update button into its actions remains reliable across the full button width.
• Added a smooth expandable changelog section to the update dialog.

1.0.6 - 2026-08-12

• Added global download bandwidth limits and configurable download windows that apply consistently across queue and clip jobs.
• Added Windows quality, packaging and security gates, including public-file allowlist validation and packaged-media checks.

1.0.5 - 2026-08-11

• Added a complete local video editor for MP4, M4V, MOV, WebM, MKV, TS and AVI files with frame-accurate trimming, removable ranges, undo and redo, timeline zoom and atomic exports.
