Full Changelog: v5.7.8...v5.7.9-beta.1

v5.7.8

• Dependency refresh to latest stable.
• Torrent icons (rows and preferences) use a plain symbolic icon.

v5.7.5

• Unauthenticated handoffs now wait for the user's confirmation instead of queueing silently.
• Handoff cookies: direct downloads use handoff cookies, staged before queueing to avoid races.
• Extension only gets acceptance once Grab actually queues the URL.

v5.7.4

What's new

• Browser extension pairing: the extension now verifies Grab via a shared secret before sending cookies, so session cookies only go to the real Grab. Pairing code is in Preferences → Advanced → Browser extension.
• Extension cookie handoff: the browser extension can now hand off site cookies with downloads, fixing logins on protected sites.

v5.7.3

What's Changed

• Fixed torrent status showing "Starting torrent…" after pausing and resuming a download that was already in progress.

v5.7.2

What's Changed

• Torrent downloads now show what they're doing while starting: fetching metadata, finding peers, or connecting.
• Dependency updates (serde_json, smallvec, syn, uuid).

v5.7.1

What's Changed

• Security fixes: Host/Origin validation on extension server (blocks DNS rebinding), bounded handoff queue (429 when full), DNS guard at connect time.
• Browser extension integration over local HTTP (replaces native messaging).

What's Changed

• Stopping a DASH download merges parts into a single file.
• VOD HLS downloads use a single file instead of fragments.
• Dependency updates.

v5.6.8

What's Changed

• Stopping a DASH download merges parts into a single file.
• VOD HLS downloads use a single file instead of fragments.
