AnInsomniacy/rayburst v4.0.1

v4.0.1 — Download Recovery and Desktop Integration

on GitHub

What's Changed

Rayburst 4.0.1 adds filename controls and an Extensions panel, improves download recovery and desktop integration, and bundles Aria2 Next 2.8.6.

✨ New Features

• Preview and edit filenames before downloading, with optional remote filename lookup.
• Rename completed single-file downloads from task details, with collision protection and recoverable history updates.
• Install Rayburst Connect for Chrome, Edge or Firefox from the new Extensions sidebar panel.

🛠 Improvements

• Choose whether browser downloads ask for confirmation, start in the background or show Rayburst. Confirmation is the default.
• Simplify update channels to Stable and Beta. Beta selects the newest version across both channels; neither channel offers downgrades.
• Bundle Aria2 Next 2.8.6, with background disk I/O, transactional recovery checkpoints and improved handling of interrupted or compressed HTTP responses.
• Support hostname patterns in proxy bypass rules and improve filename detection across redirects.
• Refresh the website with interactive product previews, localized copy and a promotional film.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Prevent concurrent downloads from sharing an output file or resuming another task's partial data.
• Fix retries and re-downloads that rejected full output paths as invalid filenames (#684).
• Restore automatic magnet file selection for browser submissions and after reopening the window. Preserve pending selections and Choose Later choices.
• Remove empty task subdirectories when deleting downloaded content, while preserving download roots, shared files and nonempty directories.
• Prevent long filenames from wrapping vertically in task details; add ellipsis, full-name tooltips and horizontal scrolling (#686).
• Preserve browser download URLs and confirmation IDs, and keep the Windows app running independently of its browser launcher.
• Keep verified update packages available after installation failures and prevent older update checks from replacing newer results.
• Register Windows file and public protocol handlers without replacing existing defaults, and support native mouse, pen and touch window dragging.
• Repair Linux tray activation and menus, add a targeted NVIDIA Wayland startup workaround, and include native WebKitGTK diagnostics.
• Fix the Windows engine crash when starting HTTP/HTTPS downloads in the earlier 4.0.1 betas.

Known Issue

• Some Linux NVIDIA/Wayland systems still show page-transition flicker (#650).
