Summary of the version history. Full release notes are on the Releases page.


v1.5.x - Polish, formats and rename

Version Change
v1.5.11 Added missing dependencies to the build artifact (requests, mutagen and others)
v1.5.10 The "Missing Dependencies" dialog wrongly appeared in the compiled EXE
v1.5.9 Spotify downloads ignored the selected format and produced WebM instead of MP3 or WAV
v1.5.8 App renamed from DeuDownloader to DeuMediaDownloader
v1.5.7 "Open Folder When Done" for YouTube and TikTok as well
v1.5.6 Speed limit in the YouTube settings now uses the window color instead of green
v1.5.5 Filename setting as its own section in the YouTube and TikTok settings
v1.5.4 Removed the FFmpeg status indicator from all downloaders
v1.5.3 Pipe and colon are preserved as Unicode lookalikes in filenames
v1.5.2 Fixed special characters in filenames and a truncated last character
v1.5.1 Quality shown in parentheses for MP3 and AAC, video codec label removed
v1.5.0 Quality values in parentheses for all formats

v1.4.x - Window behavior and rendering

Version Change
v1.4.8 Download button text vertically centered
v1.4.7 Fixed scroll ghosting in the settings
v1.4.6 The settings window now also loads instantly
v1.4.5 Window appears without visibly loading its elements
v1.4.4 Window appears fully at once, alpha instead of withdraw
v1.4.3 Window loads without a visible delay
v1.4.2 Taskbar icon now matches the application icon
v1.4.1 Window starts in the foreground and remembers its desktop position
v1.4.0 Application icon rendered from the original SVG via aggdraw

Scroll ghosting took several attempts. Between v1.4.7 and v1.5.3 a yview_scroll patch, a yview_moveto patch, a widget prerender and finally the yscrollcommand hook with InvalidateRect and UpdateWindow were tried in sequence. Some version numbers were assigned twice along the way. The solution in effect today is the yscrollcommand hook.


v1.3.x - Naming schemes and application icon

Version Change
v1.3.9 Icon silhouette flood-filled, no more clipping in the taskbar
v1.3.8 Application icon with a background, fully visible in the taskbar
v1.3.7 Taskbar icon, queue filename via the scheme, icon padding
v1.3.6 New application icon in yellow, download window symbol
v1.3.5 New application icon from app-icon.svg, white on transparent, 256 by 256
v1.3.4 Fixed dropdown overhang, removed empty space at the bottom
v1.3.3 Last dropdown entry pinned to a fixed height
v1.3.2 Increased dropdown height, last entry no longer cut off
v1.3.1 Reduced dropdown height
v1.3.0 Filename schemes in all three settings dialogs

v1.2.x - Separating the downloaders and better matches

Version Change
v1.2.4 Spotify finds the best YouTube result by duration comparison
v1.2.3 Restored YouTubeClient
v1.2.2 All three downloaders fully separated from each other
v1.2.1 Corrected the Spotify search to a single-result search
v1.2.0 TikTok settings, fixes for the queue, the dropdown and Spotify

The duration analysis from v1.2.4 is still the most important building block for correct matches in Spotify downloads.
