dlME 1.1.0 Stable

dlME 1.1.0 Stable

This release makes the downloader more compact, informative, and data-safe while adding official GitHub-based application updates.

What changed

• Added search and status/type filters to active downloads and History.
• Kept only downloading, converting, or attention-needed work on the Downloader screen; completed items live in History.
• Added artwork, creator, album, duration, source, format, size, and attempt details to History.
• Added embedded media metadata, embedded artwork, optional .info.json and artwork sidecars, and clearer Artist - Title audio filenames.
• Preserved legitimate torrent payload and partial files when a torrent is cancelled. dlME no longer deletes selected payload files during cancellation.
• Fixed website screenshots and product imagery so their aspect ratios are preserved rather than stretched.
• Added prompted application updates from official stable GitHub releases, with latest.yml and blockmap metadata for differential installer updates.
• Added settings for embedded metadata, artwork, sidecars, conversion sources, and application update checks.

Verification performed

• 52 automated tests passed across 9 files.
• Production TypeScript and Electron/Vite builds passed.
• Installer upgrade and installed executable launch passed on Windows x64.
• Single media, audio conversion, playlists, pause/resume/cancel, crash recovery, selected torrent-file integrity, second-instance handoff, themes, and minimum-size UI smoke tests passed.
• A legal Creative Commons YouTube sample produced embedded title/artist/source metadata, embedded cover art, a thumbnail sidecar, and an .info.json sidecar, then passed FFprobe validation.
• Production dependency audit: 0 known vulnerabilities.
• Binary release provenance and licensing gate passed.

Installation

• Installer: dlME-Setup-1.1.0-x64.exe
• Portable: dlME-Portable-1.1.0-x64.exe
• Verify downloads with SHA256SUMS.txt.

The Windows executables are currently unsigned. Windows SmartScreen may show an unknown-publisher warning. Verify the SHA-256 checksum before running them.

Corresponding source and notices

• This release includes the matching dlME/runtime source bundle, license inventory, and CycloneDX SBOM.
• The bundled FFmpeg/FFprobe binaries are byte-identical to v1.0.0 (ffmpeg.exe SHA-256 b9989f24e63be74e72aa45fec10a114ce660b562e4303d5f296f4fc8ba7cc896; ffprobe.exe SHA-256 73842bee6f270e85b2ab6fc3cfa715f614f16ad16700f5de6a9c1a2865cacf00). Their complete corresponding-source archive and reconstruction checksums remain available in the v1.0.0 release assets.

Download only media and torrent payloads that you have the right or permission to save. dlME does not bypass DRM, authentication, or access controls.

dlME 1.0.0 Stable

dlME 1.0.0 is the first Stable release, combining functional torrent downloads with repaired media formats, live progress, and dependable download controls.

Torrent downloads

• Open browser magnet links or import/drop/double-click .torrent files.
• Review the destination and choose individual files before downloading.
• Download any file category, including games, applications, documents, archives, video, and audio. No advertising, promoted games, or embedded player.
• Follow progress, speed, ETA, peers, and selected-file details. Pause, resume, cancel, and continue saved transfers after restarting dlME.
• Transfers stop at completion. Uploading may occur while downloading.
• Supports BitTorrent v1 and hybrid torrents with v1 metadata. Pure v2 torrents are unsupported.

Fixes and interface improvements

• Progress bars now update from structured transfer events and show activity when totals are unknown.
• Pause and Cancel terminate the actual media process tree or torrent transfer.
• Video-only selections pair with the best audio stream; final output is checked with FFprobe.
• New audio defaults use Original/Best and Best quality.
• App sounds can be muted immediately, with the preference saved across restarts.
• The terminal is larger, resizable, and expandable. Torrent lists, details, and minimum-window layouts remain usable across all three themes.
• Detailed changelogs, guides, privacy information, runtime provenance, and build instructions are updated.

Verification

• 50 Windows behavior tests, TypeScript checks, and production builds passed locally.
• Packaged torrent checks passed metadata lookup, live progress, Pause, restart, Resume, selected-file integrity, and completion.
• Installed Windows magnet and .torrent ShellExecute handoffs passed.
• MP4, MKV, and WebM output includes audio. Original/Best, MP3, M4A, Opus, and WAV audio output passed.
• Media Pause and Cancel ended real transfer connections without automatic restart.
• The installed 0.9.1 upgrade preserved all 116 existing profile files; the portable executable launched successfully.
• Public Big Buck Bunny media and permitted Sintel torrent checks passed.

Downloads and source

Use Setup x64 for a normal Windows installation, or Portable x64 for self-contained use. Both executables are unsigned; Windows may show an unknown-publisher warning. Verify downloads with SHA256SUMS.txt.

The release includes the application/runtime inventory, CycloneDX SBOM, corresponding-source core, and both numbered FFmpeg dependency-source parts with their checksum inventory. Download all source parts to reconstruct the full cache. Application source is available at this release tag. The application is MIT-licensed; bundled engines retain their own licenses.

Torrent availability depends on reachable trackers, peers, or web seeds. No byte-for-byte reproduction of upstream engine binaries is claimed.
