v3.6.0 — Protocol Handler Registration & Reliability

on GitHub

What's Changed

This release adds full cross-platform protocol handler registration, improves aria2 RPC reliability, and introduces dynamic table column sizing. All changes from the v3.5.2-beta and v3.6.0-beta series are consolidated into this stable release.

✨ New Features

• Protocol handler registration — Register Motrix Next as the default handler for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// directly from Settings with per-protocol toggle switches and multi-language support across all 26 locales
• Protocol hijack detection — On startup, detects when another application has taken over a registered protocol and prompts the user with a notification and in-app dialog
• motrixnext:// deep-link protocol — New custom protocol for browser extensions and third-party integrations to wake the app and create download tasks
• Dynamic table column widths — NDataTable columns now auto-size using canvas text measurement for optimal layout

🛠 Improvements

• macOS bundle identifier resolution — Uses app.config().identifier from tauri.conf.json instead of NSBundle.mainBundle(), which incorrectly returned the parent process's bundle ID in dev mode
• Post-registration verification — After LSSetDefaultHandlerForURLScheme, verifies the handler actually changed to catch silent no-ops when no .app bundle is registered
• Failed registration rollback — When protocol registration fails, the toggle automatically reverts to its previous state and the reverted value is persisted to config
• IPC error display — Fixed Tauri error objects displaying as [object Object] in toast messages

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed HTTP error handling in aria2 RPC and stopSeeding UI refresh (#147)
• Eliminated dangling unhandled rejections in call() and batch() RPC methods
• Fixed protocol switches staying ON after failed registration attempts
• Fixed race condition between syncProtocolHandlers and onMounted causing inconsistent switch states
