ArrowDL v4.2.0

This new version introduces a completely new download engine!

Until now, the download engine was tightly coupled to the queue widget (view). This caused performance issues, very noticeable when the queue had 1000 or more downloads in progress.

The redesign of the Download Engine (now called Scheduler) permits to completely separate the model and the view. Indeed it now implements the model-view-controller (MVC) pattern. Even if there is only one view in the application, and the MVC pattern may therefore seem superfluous, it brings among other things many benefits in terms of performance since it directly derives from the efficient Qt's models/views classes.

New:

• [Core] Brand new Scheduler and Job classes, which replace former DownloadEngine, DownloadManager and DownloadItem
• [UI] Implement model-view-controller (MVC) pattern with QueueModel and QueueView
• [Test] Update all tests (rem: not fully done yet)

DownZemAll v3.1.0

Happy New Year 2024!

This release is the result of a lot of effort, and contains a big change:

• OpenSSL v3

This release also uses more C++20 mechanisms, Qt6.5.3 and libtorrent v2.0.9.

Note for a clean installation

If the app is installed on top of an an older version (for example, through the automatic upgrader), the old OpenSSL libraries won't be removed, because the OpenSSL v3 libraries have another names.

To have a clean installation, uninstall the 3.0.6, and install the 3.1.0.

This way, the OpenSSL 1.1 should be definitly removed.

• [Torrent] Add bcrypt

Troubleshooting

Rem: Currently, it seems there are 2 small regressions:

• on Windows, the dialogs seem using the old-fashioned Windows style by default (will be fixed in v4)
• Torrents are paused by default. All files are in prirority 'Ignore', so they won't be downloaded. To start them, set priority to 'Normal'.
