Changelog

v1.0-rc11

  • Bilibili extraction is more reliable, and X/Twitter posts without playable video now fail clearly
  • YouTube cookie and bot-check retry handling is more resilient to transient network problems
  • Mixed batches keep using platform subtitles first even when some items fall back to audio transcription
  • Retry and recovery sheets preserve the active task owner more reliably, reducing duplicate processing and stuck interrupted states
  • Sidebar thumbnails refresh actively, so the list no longer needs manual scrolling before images appear
  • Share and export checks catch missing fonts or assets earlier
  • English localization covers more settings, export, admin, provider, and recovery paths
  • Bundled tools and release packages are more consistent, including QuickJS handling and local preparation for yt-dlp, ffmpeg, quickjs, and whisper.cpp

v1.0-rc10

  • Summaries now skip sponsor and ad segments more reliably without leaking instruction-like text into the output

  • Videos without subtitles still fall back to transcription, but real subtitle tool or network failures now surface directly instead of being silently masked
