A More Secretly Powerful Tube Converter 🔐

Release candidate 1 of V2023.9.0 is here!

This release includes some new feature to make Parabolic even more powerful and secure!

First, the Keyring is now backed by the system credential manager, meaning that users no longer need to provide a password to secure their Keyring as it would be handled by system secrets. Of course, we offer a guide inside the app's help on moving old password-secured keyrings to the new secret-secured ones.

Besides keyrings, we improved Parabolic's support for subtitles by downloading the correctly supported format for a file type and supporting two letter language with region codes. We also introduced a new preference for choosing to remove identifying media source information from embedded metadata.
