What's Changed
This beta improves external download handoff reliability across hidden/lightweight app states and fixes authenticated filename resolution for browser-extension downloads, especially non-Latin filenames from services such as Gmail.
🛠 Improvements
- Unified external download routing through a frontend deep-link queue so hidden or lightweight-mode windows can wake and process incoming tasks safely.
- Added authenticated filename probing with forwarded Referer and Cookie headers for extensionless download URLs.
- Improved browser extension filename hint handling; generic placeholders like
downloadare no longer treated as real output filenames. - Preserved meaningful Unicode filename hints, including Cyrillic and CJK names, when they are provided by the extension.
🐛 Bug Fixes
- Fixed macOS lightweight-mode freezes when opening
.torrentfiles while the main window is closed. - Fixed extension-submitted downloads saving as
downloadinstead of the original filename such asИтоги_2026.docx. - Fixed cases where aria2 received invalid placeholder or mojibake-style output names on Windows.
- Reduced duplicate routing behavior between HTTP API, deep-link fallback, and frontend event handling.
