Velo 0.8.0
What's new in 0.8.0
New
- Standalone command-line downloads on Linux and macOS:
veloctl get <url>now uses the portable download engine without requiring the Windows desktop app. Release archives cover Intel/AMD 64-bit and ARM64, including Apple Silicon. - Linux and macOS downloads check free disk space, use standard proxy environment variables and cancel external video tools together with their child processes.
veloctl versionreports the installed version. CLI downloads now recognize supported video page URLs as well as files, HLS and DASH.
Verification and scope
- CI runs engine and CLI tests natively on Linux, macOS and Windows, including an actual command-line download against a local server. Linux and macOS release archives include checksums.
- This is the command-line portability milestone. Linux desktop windows, browser registration and AppImage/.deb packages are next; remote-control commands still require a running desktop app. macOS binaries are unsigned and not notarized.
- yt-dlp, ffmpeg and Deno remain separate optional dependencies for video page downloads.

Velo 0.7.2
What's new in 0.7.2
New
- The installer offers to add Velo to PATH, so the
veloctlcommand-line tool works from any terminal. Updates keep your choice, and uninstalling removes it. - The README explains every
veloctlcommand, with examples.

Velo 0.7.1
What's new in 0.7.1
Fixed
- Facebook CDN links that contain only a byte-range fragment are no longer offered as complete MP4 files. When the link identifies the original video, Velo sends its Facebook page to yt-dlp to resolve the audio and video.
- Previously detected Facebook fragments are normalized too, so stale extension entries do not keep producing broken files. Fragments without a recoverable video page are rejected.
Setup and verification
- Updated the video setup guide: yt-dlp, ffmpeg and a supported JavaScript runtime such as Deno remain separate dependencies, not bundled in this release. YouTube's "page needs to be reloaded" error may require a newer nightly yt-dlp build.
- YouTube downloading was verified with a complete 1080p video and audio. Facebook fragment-routing regression tests pass; a complete signed-in Facebook download still needs verification. Videos requiring login must be sent through the browser extension.
- Existing incomplete Facebook files are not repaired automatically; download them again after updating and refreshing the video page.

Velo 0.7.0
What's new in 0.7.0
New
- Video page downloads for individual YouTube videos and Shorts, Facebook videos and reels, and X/Twitter posts through optional yt-dlp integration.
- The video hover button and extension popup can send supported page URLs to Velo, which selects the best available audio and video and merges them into an MKV file.
- Page downloads retain partial files for resuming and respect the selected download folder and file name.
Fixed
- The video button is no longer disabled on YouTube. Page navigation refreshes the selected video, and supported feed layouts use the hovered post's permalink.
- Video detection updates now reach embedded players as well as the main page.
Setup and limitations
- Install yt-dlp and ffmpeg on PATH or beside Velo; YouTube also needs a supported JavaScript runtime such as Deno. These tools are not bundled with this release.
- Page downloads use automatic best-quality selection. DRM and live streams are excluded; availability depends on the site and extractor. Cross-domain login flows may require additional support.
- The speed limit for page downloads applies per download and is captured when it starts.
- Automated tests cover URL routing, cookie scoping, progress, resume state and a local yt-dlp/ffmpeg download. Live YouTube, Facebook and X browser downloads have not yet been verified.

What's new in 0.4.4
Fixed
- The Download with Velo button now appears on video players that cover the video with their own controls or keep it inside a web component, like the Internet Archive's.
Improved
- Cancelling a download or deleting a queue now asks in Velo's own dialog, centred in the window, instead of a plain Windows box.

Velo 0.4.1
What's new in 0.4.1
Improved
- The browser extension builds its popup, video button and cards with a safer method that never runs scripts or event handlers from markup. Mozilla's add-on checker now reports no warnings at all.
- Releases are now built, tested and published automatically on GitHub, ready for code signing.

Velo 0.4.0
New in 0.4.0
- Velo speaks your language. The app, the download dialog, Velo Mini, the tray menu, notifications and the browser extension are translated into বাংলা (Bengali), Deutsch, Español, Français, हिन्दी (Hindi), Português (Brasil) and 简体中文 (Simplified Chinese). Velo follows your Windows language by default; choose another in Settings → Appearance → Language and it switches straight away. The extension follows your browser's language.
- Velo now reads its settings file even if it was saved with a byte-order mark (for example after editing it in Notepad).
Translations were made carefully but not by native speakers. Corrections are very welcome: see "Translations" in the README.

New in 0.3.4
- More categories: Torrents, Disk images (
.iso,.img,.vhd), E-books (.epub,.mobi,.azw3, comics) and Fonts each get their own folder, and Velo recognises more types in the existing categories. - Cleaner file icons: soft tinted tiles with a crisp icon in each category's colour, everywhere in Velo.
- The download dialog is wider and shorter, with tighter spacing.
- Downloads that fail before starting now show their file name instead of "Starting…".
