What's Changed
This beta updates the bundled Aria2 Next engine and adds a startup-only Async DNS option for ordinary URL downloads. The setting defaults off, is available in Network preferences, and is localized across all 27 supported languages.
✨ New Features
- Async DNS setting — Added a Network preference for
dns-resolver=async, with restart-aware handling because Aria2 Next reads this option at startup. - Aria2 Next 2.3.0 engine — Updated all bundled sidecar binaries for macOS, Windows, and Linux across x64 and ARM64.
🛠 Improvements
- Added validation and tests for the DNS resolver option in config hydration, restart detection, engine argument forwarding, and runtime hot-reload filtering.
- Refined Async DNS helper text to clearly note that it may improve performance but can be unstable or prevent downloads.
- Updated AGENTS.md to match current locale count, backend modules, migration files, and CI verification commands.
