AnInsomniacy/rayburst v4.1.0-beta.6

v4.1.0-beta.6 — Floating Window, Instant Add Window and Thunder Links

on GitHub

What's Changed

A floating speed window, a new-task window that appears instantly and shows each download's size before it starts, moving unfinished downloads to another folder, and Thunder links working again. The bundled engine moves to aria2-next 3.0.4.

✨ New Features

• Floating window — an optional orb that stays on top with the overall speed ringed by progress; click it for a panel to pause or resume each download, drag it anywhere (Settings → General → Tray & Dock → "Floating window") (#718)
• Size and name before downloading — the new-task window reads each link's size and file name the way the download will request them, and counts them against the folder's free space (#718)
• Move unfinished downloads — Task details → "Save to" → "Move to…": a running download pauses, its files move (across disks too) and it resumes (#696)
• Mark unfinished files — Settings → Downloads: unfinished downloads end in .ray until they complete (#721)
• Remove records when complete — "Keep completed records" can now remove a record as soon as the download finishes; files stay (#722)

🛠 Improvements

• Bundled engine updated to aria2-next 3.0.4
• The new-task window is prepared at startup and only hidden when closed, so it appears without delay, with a smoother entrance
• Taken file names are numbered name (1).ext, as browsers and file managers do (#709)
• A typed file name is used exactly as written, extension included; "Look up filename" became "Refresh"
• The connections field shows the cap a site rule applies and names the rule (#719)
• Save and Discard in Settings appear only when something changed and slide in; "Save & Apply" is now "Apply" (#723)
• DNS-over-HTTPS presets reach their resolvers by IP address, so finding the resolver needs no plain DNS lookup
• With the browser extension 2.1.4, the browser releases a download as soon as the Rayburst dialog shows it (#720)
• Transparent windows are back on Linux; the panels that blurred their background use a plain translucent one (#705, #650)
• After a KDE panel restart, the main window no longer pops up; it shows only if the tray stays gone for 10 s (#707)

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed Thunder (thunder://) links failing with "Unsupported URI"
• Fixed every failed submission in the new-task window being reported as "The engine is starting"
• Fixed start at login on Windows still failing silently: the entry no longer carries the \\?\ prefix Explorer cannot start; the next launch repairs it (#716)
