  only the resolver fallback's.

Union.Manifold v3.7.2

Union.Manifold 3.7.2 is ready! If the app is already installed, just restart it and accept the update prompt — otherwise grab the download for your operating system below.

📦 Downloads

• 🪟 Windows 10/11 — Download the installer
• 🍎 Mac (Apple Silicon / M-series) — Download the disk image
• 🍎 Mac (Intel) — Download the disk image
• 🐧 Linux — Download the AppImage

That is all most people need. Prefer a native Linux package? A .deb, .rpm, and Arch package are attached too — expand the section below.

Other downloads & technical files (for advanced users)

Everything else attached to this release lives here. Safe to ignore unless you know you need it.

Other ways to install on Linux

• Debian / Ubuntu: the .deb package attached to this release
• Fedora / openSUSE: the .rpm package attached to this release (stable-named copy: union-manifold-x86_64.rpm)
• Arch Linux: union-manifold-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst plus its detached PGP signature - import its signing key (union-manifold-signing-key.asc in the repository) once, then pacman -U accepts the download URL

Files that power automatic updates

• latest.json - a small index file installed apps check to discover that a new version exists.
• *.sig files - short digital signatures that let the app verify each download really came from this project.

macOS app archives

• Union.Manifold_aarch64.app.tar.gz and Union.Manifold_x64.app.tar.gz (used internally by the updater)

What changed in 3.7.2

Fixed

• The app no longer closes outright when a background task faults during an
  active download: release builds previously aborted the entire process on
  any background panic (on Windows this hit as soon as a download actually
  started). Panics are now contained to the failing task, the download
  surfaces an error instead, and the exact fault location is written to the
  app log (logs/app-logs.txt in the app data folder) — if the app still
  closes on you, that file tells us precisely where.

What changed in 3.7.1

Fixed

• Downloads work again on Windows: the aria2 build bundled for Windows
  rejects the async-DNS flag introduced in 3.7.0 and refused to start at
  all, so every download failed with a misleading "aria2 unavailable"
  message. The system-resolver flag now applies only on Linux, where it is
  both needed and supported.

What changed in 3.7.0

Added

• Gated download links now resolve in-app without Slipgate: when a host page
  sits behind a Cloudflare gate or a JS-only download flow, Union.Manifold
  opens its own hidden browser view (the same engine that renders the app),
  lets the challenge pass the way it does for a normal browser, and hands the
  captured download link or session cookies to the downloader. If a check
  needs a human click, the same window appears for a second and hides again
  once the download continues; without any interaction needed, nothing is
  ever shown. Datanodes downloads use their new per-page token flow, and
  gate-table hosts (1fichier, qiwi, megadb, filecrypt, vikingfile, akirabox,
  fileq, mocha, zerofs) resolve in-app instead of only opening the browser.

Fixed

• "Pre-Installed" editions deduplicate against the plain title again: the
  hyphenless spelling produced by punctuation normalization slipped past the
  edition-noise filter, so pre-installed releases showed up as separate
  games.

• Space-separated dates keep their time of day ("2024-03-01 10:00:00" no
  longer collapses to midnight), so release timestamps sort correctly.

• Verifications for different file hosts now run in parallel instead of
  queueing behind one another, and a verification that needs your attention
  can be cancelled straight from its toast. Long-running hidden sessions
  announce themselves after a few seconds so a slow spinner is never
  unexplained.

• The aria2 downloader's RPC secret is passed through a private config file
  instead of the process list, matching how proxy credentials were already
  handled.

• Deleting a game from the library now also drops its stored achievement
  progress, so a reinstalled or re-imported game starts with a clean
  achievements state instead of resurrecting unlocks from the deleted entry.

• Browse scroll windowing works again. The scroll-window virtualization had
  drifted out of sync with the live grid, producing misaligned rows; the
  window geometry is repaired.

• Game cards and library menu rows are keyboard accessible: focus lands
  on the card itself and menu rows activate with Enter and Space instead
  of responding only to mouse clicks.

• Leftover console errors in the exe picker and controller hooks are
  routed through the app logger instead of hitting the raw console, so
  they show up in diagnostics like every other logged error.

• Steam library detection on macOS checks the macOS Steam library roots,
  so imported Steam games resolve on Mac installs. Log output redacts the
  user's home path, keeping usernames out of shared diagnostics.

• Arch pacman updates pick the right package again: the updater path
  guessed x86_64 unconditionally, so ARM installs were handed the wrong
  pacman package. Architecture is now detected the same way the install
  script does it.

• The install script detects architecture correctly, verifies downloads
  against checksums before installing, and ships a proper icon, so a
  corrupted or truncated download no longer gets installed as if it were
  fine.

• Deleting an installed game asks for confirmation first, and favorite
  toggles ignore clicks while a favorite change is still in flight, so
  double clicks can no longer delete a game by accident or flip a
  favorite twice.

• Timers started by the downloads, settings, and source game pages are
  cleared when the page unmounts, so status updates no longer fire into
  unmounted pages after navigation.

• The in-app gate solver is harder to trip up: hosts that reject
  referer-less visits (megadb) now solve fully on their own after a
  same-origin re-navigation, hidden decoy buttons no longer swallow the
  download click, and a harvested Cloudflare clearance no longer keeps the
  window hidden when an interactive challenge still needs a human click.

• GameBounty works again after the site moved its API to a v1 namespace on
  the main domain, and ZeiGames search works again after the forum's result
  markup changed.

• Fileditch links resolve again: the site now hands out signed
  goonditch.com URLs with exp/sig parameters alongside the classic
  md5/expires form, and both are accepted.

• Downloads no longer die at the first second on networks whose DNS
  forwarder refuses aria2's async lookups: hostnames now resolve through
  the operating system's resolver, which also honors /etc/hosts and local
  name services.

• Download rows no longer carry statuses the queue can never produce
  again; the renderer only recognizes statuses the backend actually
  emits, so nothing gets stuck rendering a state that will never
  resolve.

• Advanced Search's max year filter follows the current date instead of
  a hardcoded year, so new releases stay reachable as time passes.

• Games with broken install manifests are surfaced instead of silently
  hidden from the library. A damaged manifest previously made the whole
  entry vanish from the scan with no explanation; the entry now shows up
  marked as broken so it can be repaired or removed.

Changed

• Updater manifests are built once per platform with friendly release
  notes attached, replacing the per-job manifest race fixed in 3.6.10
  with a cleaner per-platform build step in the release workflow.

• Hardcoded colors in the downloads, mods, and source game pages are
  replaced with theme tokens, so those surfaces follow the active theme
  and custom palettes like the rest of the app.

• Settings tooltip titles are consistently capitalized.

Removed

• Upstream telemetry and the legacy user-history cookie: the UC Plus
  hook, cloud collection calls, and the old history cookie are gone, so
  the app no longer phones anything home from the upstream fork.

• The unused built-in asset protocol scope entry was dropped from the
  Tauri config, keeping the asset protocol allowlist to what the app
  actually serves.

Union.Manifold v3.6.10

Fixed

• Auto-update manifest could drop platforms: every platform job uploaded
  its own latest.json and the uploads raced read-modify-write on the
  same release asset, so whichever job finished last decided which
  platforms the updater knew about. The manifest is now built once, after
  all builds finish, from the release's own signature files, and always
  covers Windows, Linux (AppImage, deb, RPM), and both macOS arches.

Union.Manifold v3.6.9

Fixed

• Release pipeline, follow-up to 3.6.8: pre-creating the draft release was
  not enough. tauri-action looks drafts up by tag, but a draft's git tag
  does not exist until publish, so each platform job still created its own
  draft and 3.6.8 published with only the Linux packages. Every platform
  job now receives the draft's numeric release id and uploads directly to
  it, so Windows, AppImage, deb, RPM, pacman, and both macOS builds land in
  the one published release.

Union.Manifold v3.6.8

Fixed

• Release pipeline: the 3.6.7 release shipped without its Windows
  installer, AppImage, deb, and macOS ARM builds. All four platform jobs
  raced to create the GitHub draft release, each created its own, and
  three of them (Windows included) stayed stranded as invisible drafts
  while only one got published. The draft release is now created once, up
  front, so every platform job uploads into the same release.

Union.Manifold v3.6.7

Fixed

• Archive-installed games still showed filename titles and dead thumbnails
  in the library. Exact-title matching could never hit names carrying
  release tags ("Tiny_Terraces_TENOKE"), so resolution quietly gave up;
  and on the next launch the persisted cache patched only the image
  field, leaving the card's covers list empty, so the thumbnail stayed
  blank even for previously resolved games. Local installs now retry
  resolution with trailing tokens trimmed until an exact title matches,
  adopt the canonical title unless the user renamed the game themselves,
  and cache restore rebuilds the full cover candidate list.
• Browse grid still juggled cards while scrolling: the scroll window
  guessed column count from the scroller's padding-inclusive width (one
  column off at many window sizes) and assumed a fixed 350px row height,
  so the mounted window drifted further out of alignment with every row.
  Column count and row height are now measured from the live grid, keeping
  the window aligned at any width.

Union.Manifold v3.6.6

Fixed

• Archive-installed games get proper library art now. Three things stacked:
  the name kept filename separators (Tiny_Terraces.rar → "Tiny_Terraces"),
  which source search can't match; the library's metadata refresh skipped
  local entries entirely; and even when a match was found, only the image
  field was patched while the card renders covers — so the dead thumbnail
  stayed. Archive installs now name the game "Tiny Terraces", installed-game
  resolution normalizes filename separators before searching, named local
  entries are enriched again (with exact-title matching only, so junk names
  never pull the wrong game's art), and a resolved cover rebuilds the card's
  candidate list.

Union.Manifold v3.6.5

Fixed

• Browse and Advanced Search grids no longer shuffle cards while scrolling
  or streaming: partial results arrive re-sorted as each source finishes,
  and every append re-sorted the whole grid, so titles visibly jumped
  around. Display order now freezes per query — updates merge into existing
  rows in place, new arrivals append — and re-sorting happens only on a
  fresh query or an explicit sort click.
