🎬 Youwee v0.12.0
A modern, beautiful YouTube downloader built with Tauri.
✨ What's New
Added
- Dependency source selector (yt-dlp/FFmpeg) - Added source switching in Settings → Dependencies so users can choose between app-managed binaries and system-managed binaries
- Safety confirmation before switching to system source - Added a confirmation dialog when switching yt-dlp/FFmpeg to system source to prevent accidental changes
Changed
- OS-aware system source label - System source label now adapts by platform (
Homebrewon macOS,PATHon Windows, package manager on Linux) - Automated GitHub release notes in build workflow - Enabled
generate_release_notesin the release workflow so published releases include auto-generated notes - Windows custom title bar integration - Replaced the native Windows title bar with app-themed custom controls (drag region, minimize/maximize/close) for consistent theming
Fixed
- Windows download history recording - Captured final output filepath reliably on Windows so completed downloads are correctly added to Library history
- Windows redownload path parsing - Fixed output folder extraction for backslash-based Windows paths when redownloading items
- Non-UTF-8 yt-dlp output on Windows - Added GBK/ANSI decoding fallback and
--print-to-filehandling so non-UTF-8 locales still capture final file paths correctly - Library auto-refresh after download completion - Library history now refreshes automatically when a download status changes to
finished - Douyin modal URL compatibility - Normalized
douyin.comURLs withmodal_idinto canonical/video/{id}format in backend yt-dlp calls and frontend deep-link parsing
