Riplox starts working sooner, stops giving up on a link it was only reading,
and the phone app now updates itself.

The engine starts in a third of the time

yt-dlp ships as the folder build instead of the single executable. The single
file unpacked itself into a temp directory on every run — 2.2 seconds
before one request went out, against 0.77 for the folder. Riplox starts
yt-dlp for every paste, every download and every channel check, so that is
1.4 seconds off each of them.

It takes 12 MB more on disk, but compresses better than an already-compressed
single file, so this installer is 3 MB smaller than the last one. "Update
engine" works exactly as before.

A link you paste is no longer the one that gives up first

Reading a link now retries the way a download always has. A passing "confirm
you're not a bot" killed a paste outright, while the very same link — queued
instead — retried and went straight through. The message even claimed the
retries had been spent. They had not.

Send to Riplox updates itself

The Android app asks the relay what version is there and offers it when it is
newer. The download is checked against the published SHA-256 as it arrives and
thrown away if it does not match, and Android's own dialog does the
installing — the app cannot install anything quietly.

Fixes

  • A shared link reaches your PC in about a second. It used to arrive
    whenever the system felt like running a background job, which on some phones
    means "when you next open the app".
  • Progress no longer sits at 99%. Video and audio arrive as two streams
    and only one was being reported, so the bar waited at 99 while the audio
    finished. It now says which one it is on.
  • Links sent from a phone get their thumbnail instead of a blank tile.
  • The capture heading was 2.42:1 in the light theme — below readable. Now
    5.83.
  • Settings has a way to report a bug or ask for a feature.

Install

Riplox_Setup_v1.1.2.exe — 71.9 MB, installs for the current user, no
administrator rights needed.

SHA-256: A25B398D805C28AB5DF57BEA34B875086532F4414777D5584F205FE9D7115AE6

The installer is not code-signed, so Windows may show "Windows protected your
PC" the first time: More info → Run anyway. Requires Windows 10 or 11 with
the Edge WebView2 runtime, which is already present on Windows 11.
