Release v1.3.0 · nimbold/Firelink

This release focuses on smoother queue control, a more comfortable interface, and safer recovery when downloads or browser handoffs are interrupted.

Live speed limits and connection controls can be adjusted while a download is active.
Queue reordering and bulk actions are easier to use, with paused downloads kept behind work that is ready to run.
Appearance preferences now include a Windows 11-style option, sidebar-aware window controls, curated fonts for supported languages, and optional localized calendar dates. These improvements respond to #31.
Firelink Companion 2.1.0 is included in the Extensions/Browser submodule. Get the latest extension from the Firelink-Extension releases.

Resume, retry, pause, and redownload actions now recover more reliably when an earlier attempt has disappeared or a background event arrives late, addressing the failed-resume report in #28.
Browser captures recover more safely when Firelink is starting, the extension restarts, or capture settings change during handoff. Captures remain in the Add window for review.
macOS minimize and Dock, Spotlight, and Raycast reopen behavior are more consistent, addressing #30.
The downloads table stays readable at narrow widths: row actions remain contained, columns resize consistently, and controls no longer cover Date Added text, addressing #32.
Add-window metadata, duplicate resolution, playlist selection, floating menus, page navigation, and table interactions provide clearer feedback and better keyboard behavior.
Startup consent and keychain access are more predictable, with clearer permission feedback and safer modal focus.

Prevent stale pause, resume, retry, completion, and remove actions from reviving a download, reporting the wrong result, or leaving a row stuck in a misleading state.
Keep queue limits, connection recovery, missing completion events, and retry cleanup from leaving downloads stranded or exceeding the user’s settings.
Keep paused work behind pending downloads and make queue controls behave correctly when several actions happen close together.
Refresh dependencies and bundled engines, and strengthen release, package, portable-mode, and cross-platform verification.

Very long media-generated filenames can still exceed an operating system’s filename limit. For #29, the current workaround is to shorten the filename in Properties before starting the download.
