🎬 Youwee v0.6.0
A modern, beautiful YouTube downloader built with Tauri.
✨ What's New
Changed
- Replaced Bun with Deno - Now uses Deno runtime for YouTube JavaScript extraction (required by yt-dlp)
- Auto-download Deno on first launch - App automatically downloads Deno if not installed
- Setup progress dialog - Shows "Setting Up YouTube Support" popup when downloading Deno on first launch
Fixed
- YouTube downloads with bundled Deno - Fixed path escaping issue when Deno is installed in Application Support folder (paths with spaces)
- Use
--js-runtimesflag - Switched from--extractor-argsto--js-runtimes deno:PATHfor better compatibility - yt-dlp update not taking effect - Fixed issue where updated yt-dlp version was not used after restart (now prioritizes user-updated version over bundled)
