v3.7.0 — Lightweight Mode, GeoIP Peers & Native Backend

on GitHub

What's Changed

A major architectural release that migrates core download logic from TypeScript to a native Rust backend, introduces Lightweight Mode for dramatically reduced memory usage, adds GeoIP peer geolocation, and fixes multiple native UI issues across platforms.

✨ New Features

• Lightweight Mode — Destroys the WebView when minimized to tray, reducing memory usage by ~150 MB. All tray actions, Dock badge, and progress bar continue working natively in Rust. Auto-links with tray settings for seamless UX
• GeoIP Peer Resolution — Displays country flags and locale-aware country/continent names next to BitTorrent peers using the bundled DB-IP database
• Task Detail Dates — Shows "Added At" and "Completed At" timestamps in the task detail panel with locale-aware formatting across all 26 languages (#198)
• Structured BT History Metadata — BT/magnet tasks now persist full file lists and announce lists as JSON in history records, enabling correct multi-file deletion and folder-opening from the history view

🛠 Improvements

• Native Rust aria2 client — Migrated aria2 JSON-RPC communication from TypeScript to a native Rust WebSocket client, improving reliability and enabling backend-only operation in lightweight mode
• Modular service architecture — Task store and runtime services refactored into a clean service-based architecture with dedicated modules for stat polling, speed scheduling, and task monitoring
• Native tray event handling — All tray menu actions (pause-all, resume-all, new-task, quit) handled directly in Rust, ensuring functionality when the WebView is destroyed
• macOS Dock progress bar — Implemented a custom MotrixProgressIndicator class (subclass of NSProgressIndicator) with drawRect: override for correct Dock tile rendering
• Platform-gated configuration — macOS/Windows-only config fields (dock_badge_speed, show_progress_bar) are now #[cfg]-gated, eliminating dead code warnings on Linux
• Structured logging — Replaced scattered console.* calls with a unified structured logger and persistent pre-flight logging in GPU guard
• Simplified MTooltip — Removed global state and cooldown logic for cleaner tooltip behavior

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed macOS Dock progress bar not rendering at all (standard NSProgressIndicator does not draw in NSDockTile)
• Fixed BT task deletion failing due to raw infoHash strings in history metadata instead of structured JSON
• Suppressed noisy maxminddb log output and simplified peer tracker column layout
