✨ Features

• Embed Thumbnails into Downloads: Added an option to automatically embed video thumbnails directly into your downloaded media files. (#122, thanks to (@bastik-1001))

• Embed Metadata: Added an option to embed full video metadata (such as titles and artist info) straight into the output file. (#123, thanks to (@bastik-1001))

• Added Option to disable notification sound: Introduced a toggle to disable the notification sound for new downloads. (#121, thanks to (@bastik-1001))

• Add Persian Localization: (fa) localization and README translation (#126, thanks to (@realrazdev))

🔧 Improvements

• Playlist Downloads & Quality Presets: Introduced universal preset format expressions for playlist downloads. You can now select a target quality for an entire playlist, and if an exact match isn't available for a specific video, the app will automatically download the next closest quality. This replaces the misleading old behavior where the app only displayed the format table of the first video (#114, thanks to @cwlnet)

• Redesigned Embed Settings: Reorganized the Embed settings layout with a compact, collapsible Embed dropdown menu (containing Chapters, Metadata, and Thumbnail toggles) to keep the main window clean and uncluttered.

• Updated Interface Assets: Refreshed the main application preview screenshots.

• Added automated star history: Implemented automated star history tracking to monitor repository growth.

• Bump Github Actions to latest versions: Updated GitHub Actions workflows to use the latest versions of dependencies and tools.

• higher the lowest python version to 3.11: The minimum required Python version has been raised to 3.11, ensuring compatibility with the latest features and improvements.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed Video downloaded completed message after canceling: Corrected the behavior where a "Video downloaded completed" message now it would display "Download cancelled" if the user cancels the download
