V2023.9.0
A More Secretly Powerful Tube Converter 🔐
V2023.9.0 is here!
This release includes some new feature to make Parabolic even more powerful and secure!
First, the Keyring is now backed by the system credential manager, meaning that users no longer need to provide a password to secure their Keyring as it would be handled by system secrets. Of course, we offer a guide inside the app's help on moving old password-secured keyrings to the new secret-secured ones.
Besides keyrings, we improved Parabolic's support for subtitles by downloading the correctly supported format for a file type and supporting two letter language with region codes. We also introduced a new preference for choosing to remove identifying media source information from embedded metadata.
Full Changelog 📃
- Added support for two letter language with region codes (#572)
- Added a preference for removing media source data from embedded metadata (previously it was automatically removed) (#576)
- Parabolic will now use the system's credential manager (i.e. DBus Secret Service) for securing the Keyring. Please read the Keyring page in Help for information on migrating the old password-secured Keyring to the new secret-secured Keyring (#569)
- Parabolic will no longer ask for a subtitle format but instead use the format supported by the file type (#568)
- Fixed an issue where translated metadata was embedded instead of original media metadata (#574)
- Updated translations (Thanks everyone on Weblate!)

A "We Cleared All Issues, Stop Opening More...Just Kidding" Tube Converter ‼️
Release candidate 1 of V2023.8.1 is here!
Compared to beta 2, we've improved the keyring and password dialogs allowing you to skip password entry and reset a locked keyring in case of a forgotten password. We also fixed an issue in which some opus files would fail to download and made it where if overwriting files is off and a download's file name exists, a numbered suffix will be attached to the end of the file name to prevent error.
