What's Changed

A major quality-of-life update focused on engine reliability, startup experience, and UI polish.

✨ New Features

  • Engine hot-reload — Changing RPC secret, RPC port, BT listen port, or DHT listen port now triggers an automatic engine restart with confirmation dialog and exponential-backoff reconnection, no app restart required
  • Splash screen — Added a branded splash screen during WebView initialization, eliminating white-screen flicker on startup
  • Minimize to tray — Close button now offers a choice between minimize-to-tray and quit, with a "remember my choice" option
  • Hide Dock icon (macOS) — Option to hide Dock icon when minimized to tray for a cleaner desktop
  • Tracker probing — Real-time tracker status detection with cancellation support
  • Peer table sorting — Sortable columns in the BT peer list within task detail view
  • Task detail i18n — Full localization for task detail tabs and tracker statuses

🛠 Improvements

  • New SVG-based icons — Replaced all AI-generated PNG icons with SVG vector source, regenerated full icon set (ICO/ICNS/PNG) for crisp rendering at all sizes
  • Icon cache flush — Automatic icon cache clearing on macOS and Windows after updates
  • Suppress console flashes (Windows) — aria2 engine and port probe processes now launch silently
  • Task action button UX — Added press effects and smooth icon transitions
  • Exit dialog button alignment — Footer buttons right-aligned for consistency

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed engine not applying new RPC secret until app restart
  • Fixed dialog border radius inconsistencies
  • Fixed scrollbar overflow caused by minimum width constraints
  • Fixed settings UI layout issues
