VRKA 4.0.1 (Build 017)

A modern, lightweight desktop media downloader for Windows with a high-performance Qt 6 QML interface, strict-FIFO task scheduling, and uBlock Origin Lite-assisted passive browser fallback.


Highlights in 4.0.1

  • UPLINK Status State Machine & Visuals: Resolved an issue where the compact sidebar UPLINK status light and badge remained stuck on UPLINK QUEUED (yellow) after task completion. The presentation bridge now connects dataChanged and layoutChanged model signals to reactive telemetry properties, ensuring the status returns deterministically to UPLINK READY (green #2BCB77) when all queued work is finished, and displays UPLINK ACTIVE (signature purple #9255E5) during active transfers.
  • Dynamic Version Header: Bound application title, sidebar, and Settings version metadata dynamically to APP_DISPLAY_VERSION (4.0.1 Build 017).
  • UPLINK State Machine Regression Coverage: Added test suite (tests/test_uplink_state.py) verifying state transitions across task insertion, active downloading, completion, error, cancellation, and multi-task queue scenarios.
  • Consolidated Test Discovery: Standardized test layout under tests/ supporting python -m unittest discover -s tests.
  • Interface Screenshot & Documentation Refresh: Updated all documentation captures with genuine screenshots reflecting 4.0.1 with exact authoritative VRKA 3.0 visual semantics.

No Manual FFmpeg Installation Required:
VRKA is strictly PATH-independent.

You do not need to install FFmpeg or set environment variables.
