v2026.9.26-beta2

[2026.9.26-beta2] - 2026-09-26

Added

• Windows build, shipped as a zip: unzip it anywhere and run gogstash.exe
• About dialog showing the installed version, with links to the project page and bug tracker, license details, and Qt's own About page
• The GPL and LGPL license texts now ship with the AppImage and the Windows build

Changed

• GogStash uses the same Fusion look on every platform, so Windows matches Linux

Fixed

• The download progress bar shows 0% at startup instead of being blank
• Windows: toolbar and button icons no longer show up blank
• Windows: GogStash no longer throws an error at startup when the theme is applied
• Windows: downloading a file that already exists in the game folder no longer fails
• Windows: the game manifest file is now hidden, like it is on Linux

Known Issues

• Individual games can't be removed from the download queue, only the whole queue can be cleared
• Windows: in dark mode, alternating rows in the games list and download queue are tinted with the Windows accent color
• Windows: the app isn't code-signed, so SmartScreen may warn about an unknown publisher on first launch

v2026.9.26-beta

[2026.9.26-beta] - 2026-09-26

Added

• Pause downloads and resume them later, picking up each file from where it stopped instead of starting over
• Add games to the download queue while downloads are running
• Download queue docked next to the games list in the main window
• Clear the whole download queue without restarting the application, including while downloads are running or paused
• Colored status dot on each queued game showing whether it's queued, downloading, paused, finished, or failed
• Starting a new run offers to remove games that already finished from the queue
• The AppImage can update itself through GearLever or AppImageUpdate, downloading only the parts that changed

Changed

• The download log records pause, resume and stop, with timestamps on every entry
• Each file is recorded in the game's manifest and the download log as soon as it finishes, instead of when the whole game is done, so a crash partway through no longer loses track of files already downloaded
• A failed game's error message now shows when hovering over its red status dot
• The "Add to Download Queue" button is now "Queue Selection", and the "Show Download Queue" buttons are gone since the queue is always visible
• Docstrings for every module, class and function in the source, for contributors

Fixed

• Queuing the same game twice no longer downloads it twice at the same time
• Opening the Settings dialog no longer leaves a copy of it in memory each time
• Pausing or stopping just as a file finishes no longer marks the game as failed or throws away the finished file
• A game where only some files failed no longer reports that all of its files failed
• The status line no longer stays on "Downloading..." after a run ends, and says how many games failed if any did
• Bonus content that GOG replaces with a different file is downloaded again instead of being skipped as up to date
• A problem writing the download log no longer interrupts downloads

Known Issues

• Individual games can't be removed from the download queue, only the whole queue can be cleared
• The download queue can't be reordered (not planned)
• AppImages from earlier releases can't update themselves, so this release has to be downloaded by hand once

v2026.9.13-alpha

[2026.9.13-alpha] - 2026-09-13

Added

• Skip re-downloading a file if it (or an identically-sized copy under a different name) already exists in the game folder, verified against the recorded checksum
• Record every fetched file's size, checksum, and category in a per-game manifest, replacing the old database-only tracking
• Show whether a game's installer has already been downloaded in the library view

Known Issues

• Removing or clearing the download queue requires restarting the application
• The download queue can't be reordered
• Pausing and resuming downloads isn't supported yet

v2026.9.10-alpha

[2026.9.10-alpha] - 2026-09-10

Added

• Login to GOG.com and fetch your game library
• Add games to a download queue, with concurrent downloads and per-category selection
• Stop downloads once they've started
• Settings menu
• Linux AppImage build via a Dockerized PyInstaller + appimagetool pipeline
• GitHub Actions CI to build and publish the AppImage automatically on tagged releases

Fixed

• Inconsistent "Discard" button label across platforms in the settings dialog
• Missing window/titlebar icon

Known Issues

• Removing or clearing the download queue requires restarting the application
• Files already downloaded are not detected, so re-adding a game re-downloads everything
• Fetched files aren't recorded anywhere, so the library view doesn't reflect what you already have
• The download queue can't be reordered
• Pausing and resuming downloads isn't supported yet
