v3.8.6 — Deep Link, Filename & Security Reliability Release

on GitHub

What's Changed

Motrix Next 3.8.6 is a reliability-focused release for browser integration, deep links, filename handling, and download safety. It improves how downloads are received from extensions and external protocols, resolves more real-world server filename formats, and hardens the path from user input to aria2.

✨ New Features

• Deep link service — Added a native deep-link service for safer startup handling, queued external inputs, and browser-extension handoff.
• Improved filename resolution — Added support for referer/cookie-aware filename probing, RFC 2047 encoded filenames, non-UTF-8 Content-Disposition headers, and extensionless media URLs.
• Filesystem-safe aria2 output names — Added sanitization for aria2 out filenames to reduce invalid filename and path-safety issues.

🛠 Improvements

• Adopted mature parsing utilities for filename and torrent metadata handling.
• Enhanced filename fallback logic for extensionless URLs with trustworthy basenames.
• Added validation for weak or unsafe URL basenames before using them as filenames.
• Sanitized HTTP headers before passing them to aria2.
• Updated RPC and extension API security handling.
• Corrected TypeScript path mappings for more reliable module resolution.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed Cyrillic and other encoded filenames resolving to question marks, unreadable text, or generic placeholders.
• Fixed downloads whose filename is only exposed on the actual GET request instead of HEAD.
• Fixed extensionless image URLs resolving to unresolved-filename.jpg when a usable URL basename is available.
• Fixed unsafe or malformed out values reaching aria2.
• Removed redundant debug logging from the HTTP API ping endpoint.
