| happy valentine's day! i have an update for you, as a gift :D | |
| tl;dr: added support for <span class="text-backdrop">reddit gifs</span>, fixed douyin downloads, fixed vimeo quality picking, revamped entirety of codebase, and many other fixes. | |
| here's more info: | |
| this update is mostly about cleaning up and polishing the codebase, but it also has some new features. here's what's up: | |
| service-related improvements: | |
| - you now can download gifs from reddit! | |
| - attempting to download a video from douyin no longer throws an error (bytedance changed the api endpoint, yet again). | |
| - fixed quality picking for vimeo downloads. | |
| - fixed length limit check in vimeo module. | |
| - fixed support for "user view" vk clips links. | |
| - various twitter errors are now displayed correctly instead of falling back to the default error. | |
| - state of all services is now tested on each commit. | |
| ui improvements: | |
| - cobalt social links no longer disappear if you have an aggressive ad blocking extension installed. | |
| - various localization improvements for both english and russian. | |
| - changed some service aliases to display full list of supported downloads. | |
| - added current branch information to version text (in settings). | |
| - fixed typos in older changelogs. | |
| internal improvements: | |
| - <span class="text-backdrop">everything</span> has been sanitized, improved, and refactored. code is now much easier to read and maintain. | |
| - rewrote and/or optimized all modules that were messy or inefficient. | |
| - all git interaction functions now store info in cache instead of fetching it every time the function is called. | |
| - added a test script that checks functionality of all supported services. | |
| - updated deepsource config. checks are more accurate now. | |
| - requests from internet explorer are now dropped entirely instead of redirecting people stuck in 90s to a proper browser download page. this was done to avoid (my) personal bias towards browsers. | |
| i put a ton of effort into this version, and i hope you like it as much as i do. | |
| thank you for using cobalt. there's so much more to come :) |
