About this release
- VODForge now opens into a cleaner Forge workspace built around one URL field, the active download, live progress, and the run queue.
- Forge, Library, and Activity use the available window space and adapt at smaller sizes without hiding the primary download controls.
- The run deck clearly distinguishes the active, queued, and completed items while preserving VODForge's reliable sequential download behavior.
- Library keeps the original YouTube source and final VODForge output details together, including video and audio bitrate information.
- Interface icons and thumbnails now render sharply on Retina Macs, with a consistent app icon across Finder, Dock, Windows installer, executable, and taskbar.
- Copy actions provide visible confirmation, and the URL field resets after a run is accepted so the next link is ready to paste.
- VODForge continues to check stable GitHub Releases automatically and verifies approved updates before installation.
- Windows downloads are signed by Kryden Ventures, LLC.
- Mac downloads are Developer ID signed, notarized, and provided separately for Apple silicon and Intel-based Macs.
