KGet 1.7.0

Added

  • Batch download (--batch urls.txt): download multiple files in parallel from a plain-text file — one URL per line, lines starting with # are skipped as comments. All URLs run concurrently via OS threads. --output is treated as the destination directory. Per-URL [OK]/[FAIL] status printed; summary at the end.
  • History tab in macOS app: new "History" sidebar item reads the persistent history.json produced by the Rust CLI. Shows all-time downloads with date, file size, and status badge. Hover a row to reveal a re-download button that re-queues the URL and switches to the "All Downloads" view.
  • Drag-and-drop URL into the macOS window: drag any HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/magnet link from Safari, Chrome, or any other app and drop it onto the KGet window. A translucent blue overlay appears while hovering; on drop the URL lands in the input bar ready to start.
  • Clipboard monitor in macOS app: the app silently watches the clipboard every 1.5 s. When a new HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SFTP, or magnet URL is detected, a dismissable banner slides in below the URL bar with a one-click "Download" button. The banner is suppressed if the URL is already in the current download list.
  • Custom HTTP headers (-H "Name: Value"): pass one or more -H flags to inject arbitrary request headers into both simple and turbo (advanced) downloads. Multiple headers can be stacked. Works in single-URL, batch, and interactive modes.
  • Speed sparkline in macOS app: each active download row now shows a 44×16 pt miniature real-time speed graph that accumulates the last 30 speed readings. Built with SwiftUI Path + gradient fill via the new SparklineView component.
  • Auto-extract archives: kget --extract automatically runs unzip, tar, or 7z on the downloaded file when the extension is .zip, .tar.gz, .tgz, .tar.bz2, .tar.xz, or .7z. Controllable via the new "Auto-extract archives" toggle in the macOS Settings → Downloads tab.
  • Download scheduling (--at "HH:MM"): defer a CLI download to a specific local wall-clock time. The process sleeps until the target minute is reached, then starts the download. Works with single-URL, advanced, and batch modes.
  • yt-dlp integration (--ytdlp, auto-detected): if yt-dlp (or youtube-dl) is installed, URLs from YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, TikTok, Instagram, Bilibili, and 10+ other platforms are automatically routed through it. Quality preset selectable via --quality best|1080p|720p|480p|360p|audio. macOS app detects video URLs and adds a global default quality picker in Settings → Downloads.
  • WebDAV support (webdav://, webdavs://): new WebDavDownloader adapter in src/webdav/mod.rs converts webdav:// → http:// and webdavs:// → https://, extracts embedded credentials (webdav://user:pass@host/path), and injects an HTTP Basic Authorization header. Detected automatically from URL scheme; explicit --webdav flag also available. Compatible with Synology, Nextcloud, Nextcloud, Apache WebDAV, and any RFC 4918 server.
  • Share Extension (Share > KGet): the macOS Share Extension (macos-app/ShareExtension/) is now complete and functional. ShareViewController encodes the shared URL as kget://download?url=<encoded> and opens the main app via NSWorkspace. KGetApp.swift parses the new format and starts the download. The extension is compiled and embedded into KGet.app/Contents/PlugIns/KGetShareExtension.appex by build-native-macos.sh.
  • Public library API overhaul (src/builder.rs, src/error.rs, src/events.rs, src/checksum.rs):
    • Builder pattern — kget::builder(url) and kget::batch([...]) entry points replace positional args. Fluent methods: .output(), .connections(), .speed_limit(), .proxy(), .proxy_auth(), .sha256/sha512/sha1/md5/blake3(), .verify_from(), .header(), .retry(), .range(), .quiet().
    • Typed errors — KgetError enum (Network, Io, ChecksumMismatch, Protocol, Cancelled, NotFound, SidecarError, Other) with From impls for reqwest::Error, std::io::Error, and Box<dyn Error>.
    • Event channel — .spawn() returns (JoinHandle, Receiver<DownloadEvent>) with Progress { percent, speed_bps, eta_secs }, Status, Completed, Error variants.
    • Download metrics — DownloadResult struct returned by .download() with path, bytes_downloaded, avg_speed_bps, duration, connections_used, checksums.
    • In-memory download — .download_to_bytes() -> Vec<u8> and .download_to_reader() -> impl Read (no filesystem writes).
    • HTTP range — .range(start, end) sends Range: bytes=start-end; works with in-memory and on-disk paths.
    • Sidecar checksum verification — .verify_from(url) downloads and parses GNU (<hash> <file>) and BSD (SHA256 (file) = hash) sidecar files, auto-selects algorithm by hash length.
    • Multi-algorithm checksums — SHA-256, SHA-512, SHA-1 (via sha1 crate), MD5 (via md-5 crate), BLAKE3 (via blake3 crate). ChecksumAlgorithm enum + compute_checksum() in src/checksum.rs.
    • Configurable retry — RetryConfig { max_attempts, backoff: Backoff::Exponential { base_ms, max_ms }, retry_on_status }. Permanent errors (Cancelled, NotFound, ChecksumMismatch) never retry.
    • Batch with concurrency control — BatchBuilder::concurrency(n) uses a Rayon thread pool; returns Vec<BatchResult> (one per URL).
    • Async API — DownloadBuilder::download_async() and BatchBuilder::download_all_async() behind --features async. Both use tokio::task::spawn_blocking so they never block the executor.

Fixed

  • AdvancedDownloader::new() panicked on HTTP client build failure — changed return type from Self to Result<Self, …> so the error propagates instead of crashing.
  • Parallel throttle was per-thread — with N connections and a 1 MB/s limit, actual throughput was N×1 MB/s. Replaced per-thread busy-wait with a global Arc<Mutex<TokenBucket>> shared across all rayon workers; aggregate rate is now bounded correctly.
  • file.set_len(total_size) happened before confirming range support — if the server returned 200 instead of 206, the file was preallocated and then overwritten by a full-stream download producing a corrupted result. Preallocation now only occurs when supports_range is confirmed.
  • ISO integrity prompt read from stdin in library/automation context — AdvancedDownloader now has a ResumePolicy field (Ask / AlwaysResume / AlwaysRestart). Library callers set AlwaysResume to avoid blocking. Ask (default) preserves the existing interactive behavior.
  • Wrong ISO MIME type — "application/x-iso9001" (ISO 9001 quality standard) corrected to "application/x-iso9660-image".
  • verify_file_sha256 printed to stdout unconditionally — all println! calls removed; messages are now sent only via the optional callback.
  • Simple downloader retried on 404/403/410 — permanent 4xx errors now fail immediately; only transient 5xx responses and connection errors are retried.
  • validate_filename was insufficient — now also rejects: null bytes (\0), path traversal sequences (..), filenames longer than 255 bytes, and Windows reserved device names (CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1–COM9, LPT1–LPT9) — case-insensitive, with or without extension.
  • sftp/mod.rs: CheckResult::Failure silently continued — the libssh2 internal error case now returns a hard error and aborts the connection instead of bypassing host-key verification.

Added (continued)

  • Homebrew tap (brew install kget): Formula/kget.rb added to the repository. Install with brew tap davimf721/kget && brew install kget. Optional features selectable at install time: --with-gui (egui graphical interface) and --with-torrent (native BitTorrent client). release.sh automatically patches the formula SHA256 after each tag push.
  • egui GUI — missing features parity with macOS app:
    • Speed sparkline per active download (44×16pt, last 30 speed readings, gradient fill).
    • Clipboard monitor — polls every 1.5 s; shows dismissable banner with one-click download when a new downloadable URL is detected.
    • Drag-and-drop URL — detects hovered_files for visual overlay; reads URL from dropped bytes (browser link drags) or from .url/.webloc shortcut files.
    • History tab in sidebar — loads history.json from disk; shows all-time entries with date, size, status, error, re-download and Copy URL buttons.
    • WebDAV URL validation — webdav:// and webdavs:// now accepted by validate_input().
    • Updated protocol chips in empty state — HTTP, FTP, WebDAV, Torrent, yt-dlp.

Changed

  • macOS SwiftUI app — complete redesign: NavigationSplitView layout with collapsible sidebar for filter navigation (All / Active / Completed / Failed with live count badges); clean URL input bar with inline Turbo toggle; simplified 3px thin progress bar with shimmer animation replacing the busy multi-segment bar; download rows with status dot, type badges (Turbo / ISO / Torrent), and compact action icons; CleanProgressBar component used throughout; TypeBadge component for download type labels; empty state with protocol chips; material-backed window background.
  • egui GUI (Linux/Windows) — complete redesign: Apple-inspired system-adaptive color palette (light: #F2F2F7 background, white cards / dark: pure black, #1C1C1E cards); left sidebar (180px) with Library navigation and per-category count badges; light/dark toggle button in sidebar; URL input card with Apple-style ↓ icon, inline Turbo/Verify toggles; 3px thin progress bar with shimmer; download cards with status dot, type badges, clean action buttons; proper card shadows; status bar with live stats.
  • egui theme is now system-adaptive: reads OS dark/light preference at startup; manual override button in sidebar.
