[v1.3.0] - 2026-07-17

New Features

  • Auto-Updater: Implemented a built-in automatic updater for Windows executables that seamlessly downloads, replaces the binary, and restarts the application.
  • VPN Warning Dialog: Added a welcome dialog to warn users about aggressive Cloudflare blocking of known VPN IPs, which can cause persistent download failures.
  • Smart Default Save Directory: The default save location now automatically detects and falls back to the user's "Downloads" folder on Windows (or the current directory otherwise).
  • Reset Settings: Added a "Reset Defaults" button in the Settings menu to easily revert all configurations (including UI sizes and warning dialog visibility) to their factory defaults.
  • Spacebar Toggle: You can now conveniently toggle pause and resume for selected downloads using the Space key.

Fixes & Improvements

  • Directory Creation Stability: Improved error handling when creating save directories during downloads, preventing crashes if the path is invalid or restricted.

  • Force Redownload: Added a "Force Redownload" button/action to easily delete an existing downloaded file and restart the task from scratch.
  • Error Diagnostics & Logging: Added descriptive hover tooltips (HTTP status codes, timeouts, disconnection reasons) on errored tasks, background error logging (~/.silverspoon.log), and a dedicated "Copy Error Details" button for easy troubleshooting.
