v4.1.0-beta.2 — Standalone Add Window, Linux Engine Fix and Reorganized Settings

on GitHub

What's Changed

The second 4.1.0 beta fixes the Linux engine crash found in beta.1, makes the standalone add window open reliably and instantly, and reorganizes Settings so related options sit together. It bundles Aria2 Next 3.0.1 and pairs with Rayburst Connect 2.1.1; Connect 2.1.0 keeps working with it.

✨ New Features

• Download in order for torrents: files finish one after another, like the episodes of a series (#703).
• Verify certificates switch under Settings → Network → TLS, for trusted servers with self-signed certificates (#704).
• Notification click action on Windows: show the file in its folder or open it (#609).
• Drag torrents onto either window: the main window and the add window both accept .torrent files and show whether a drag can be dropped. Other files in a drop are reported instead of being ignored silently.

🛠 Improvements

• Standalone add window: every new download (menu, tray, links, the extension) opens in one movable window. It is prepared in the background, so it appears at once with a short scale-in animation, uses the app's own title bar and colors on all platforms, and grows with the advanced options up to a fifth above its plain height before scrolling.
• Reorganized Settings:
  • General now holds how downloads arrive (extension behavior, torrent links, clipboard detection), notifications and default programs (#691).
  • Downloads groups speed with concurrency and file allocation with the save location.
  • Network groups request and connection settings.
  • BitTorrent lists the download options first.
  • Long descriptions are shortened in all languages.
• Add-task advanced options: HTTP username, password and the Authorization header share one field, with tighter spacing.
• Toasts are separated when they stack and use a surface that suits light and dark themes; the "engine ready" and background sync toasts on every launch are gone.
• Clearer hints for prioritizing file start and end (#702), the post-download program's {file}, {dir} and {name} arguments (#281) and custom DNS-over-HTTPS resolvers (#337).

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Linux: the engine no longer crashes as soon as BitTorrent starts, which made Rayburst report the engine as unavailable (#701, #705).
• Changing BitTorrent options such as "Prioritize file start and end" now applies to torrents that are already downloading (#702).
• An engine that exits during start-up is reported as a failed start instead of running.
• The add window opens on Windows again; browser handoffs no longer fail because it could not be created (rayburst-connect#94).
• Subtitle tracks from servers that always compress them are readable again.
