Fit Launcher v4.0.0 : The Upgrade You’ve Been Waiting For

Fit Launcher v4 is massive. We’ve rebuilt, optimized, and added MANY features across the board which make the app feel more alive, more stable and most importantly more diverse.

I'll try my best to resume everything here but the update is too packed so if you want more details go check the Changelog :

• Installer & Automation : Event-driven monitoring, scoped elevated installer, GUI runs now without any UAC right, you only need to elevate when you feel like you need some features !

• Full Debrid Integration : TorBox + Real-Debrid finally fully AND securely supported, no more waiting 40 hours to download a game due to insufficient seeders !

• UI & Themes : GNOME-inspired dark/light themes, discovery page overhaul (much more pretty and less empty now), changelog popup, no-tray mode for those who hated it and the start of the implementation of system notifications to enhance your experience.

• Performance & Caching : Image caching with better speeds, optimized fetching, cached torrent metadata, pastebin direct downloads ! Basically everything needed to make it faster and more stable.

• Downloads & Network : Proxy support, DNS fallback, SSD fixes, aria2 improvements.

• Windows Enhancements : Windows Defender auto-exclusion is finally here, no need to be scared about it removing your files during download !

• Scraping & Media : Scraping is now even faster than before !

• Backend & UX : Database and frontend refactors, error handling cleanup, discovery page and settings polish.

This release is faster, smarter, and packed with new exciting features. I would even dare say that almost everything changed in v4 and that it is the biggest, most reliable version yet.

Of course this would have NOT been possible without the help of our beloved contributors @mokurin000 and @AmarBego !
