on GitHub

What's Changed

Motrix Next 3.9.0 upgrades the download engine foundation, adds native ED2K support, improves external download workflows, and strengthens release signing automation.

✨ New Features

• Aria2 Next engine — Replaced the legacy aria2 binaries with maintained Aria2 Next engine binaries across supported platforms.
• Native ED2K support — Added ED2K link handling, preferences, search flow, validation, and localized search feedback.
• Extension silent start — Added silent auto-submit for extension downloads and an option to auto-select all files from extension-created tasks.
• Task notifications — Added task start, completion, error, and external-input notification handling.
• Port conflict recovery — Added configurable recovery options for engine, BT, and Extension API ports.
• Thunder link decoding — Decode Thunder links before sending tasks to the engine.

🛠 Improvements

• Updated README and website copy for the Aria2 Next engine.
• Improved protocol association guidance and Advanced Settings navigation.
• Refined ED2K search button animation and status feedback.
• Reworked cleanup preferences into individual toggle switches.
• Improved locale coverage and error messages.
• Added Windows signing workflow and updater JSON refresh automation.
• Improved release asset handling, signing JSON writing, and public signature extraction.
• Removed outdated Aria2 Next binary refresh tests.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed fresh-install database schema version handling and added regression coverage.
• Fixed repeated Extension API port auto-switching during engine restarts.
• Fixed engine restart port reconciliation so Motrix Next does not treat its own Extension API listener as an external conflict.

• Fixed protocol association dialog copy and destination.
• Fixed Thunder links being passed to aria2 before decoding.
