Extension v1.1.1

Fixed

• Video player not releasing file lock on close
• Stale streaming suppressions persisting after file lock removal, preventing pieces from resuming download

Changed

• Internet Archive search plugin now filters results to Creative Commons and public domain licenses only

Extension v1.1.0

Added

• Video streaming: right-click "Watch" on video files to stream directly from the torrent swarm with MKV keyframe-aware seeking and piece timeline visualization
• Web seed support (BEP 17/19): concurrent HTTP downloads from web seeds with keep-alive, rate limiting, redirect handling, and health-based source selection
• LAN media sharing: generate shareable URLs for completed files accessible by other devices on the local network (desktop only, capability-gated)
• Search plugins infrastructure (behind feature flag): sandboxed plugin install and execution, Internet Archive sample plugin, search results with torrent actions
• Configurable active piece memory limit
• IO daemon and native host contract version advertising and conformance testing
• Toast notification system for recheck results
• Magnet URI select-only file indices (pre-select specific files before metadata)

Fixed

• Companion write backpressure deadlock: downloads stalling after 32MB of cumulative writes on ChromeOS
• ChromeOS download root state sync not reflecting current roots
• Extension takeover from desktop app failing
• File progress not updating after torrent recheck
• Data check using wrong batch size
• Zero upload slots causing incorrect choking behavior
• Streaming file lock preemption and cleanup on file completion
• Boundary .parts file materialization on session restore

Changed

• Rewrote .parts partial file storage to use fixed header slots (libtorrent partfile compatibility)
• Prefer UTF-8 torrent metadata and file paths over legacy encodings
• Streaming-aware peer selection: prioritize peers with pieces needed for active video playback
• Moved ChromeOS capability discovery from HTTP polling to control WebSocket channel
• Decoupled popup video player from engine bundle for faster loading
• Recommended backend versions: Tauri App v0.2.0, Android v1.0.23

android-v1.0.23

Added

• Media streaming player (Media3) with subtitle support, fullscreen swipe, and LAN sharing

• Web seed support (BEP 17/19) with keep-alive, concurrency, and redirect handling
• Configurable active piece memory limit
• Companion mode power management to prevent ARCVM Doze stalls
• Default gateway detection for port mapping (NAT-PMP/PCP)
• Data Saver detection with user warning banner

Fixed

• Fix companion write backpressure deadlock: downloads stalled after 32MB of writes due to cumulative byte counter used for backpressure instead of in-flight bytes
• Fix OOM crash on Chromebox (Android 13, SDK 33)
• Use positioned SAF fd I/O for reduced write copy overhead
• Fix player pause behavior and fullscreen overlay controls
• Fix file priority await and .parts materialization on file unskip

Changed

• Add IO daemon conformance gate with contract versioning
