follow cobalt's twitter account for polls, updates, and more: [@justusecobalt](https://twitter.com/justusecobalt)

stuff that you can notice:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- you can now download audio from any supported service, in any format that you set in settings (+). yes, that includes mp3, which you all have been waiting for :D
|
||
|
|
- it's now easier to switch between download modes (just a single toggle on the bottom).
|
||
|
|
- your youtube download format has been reset, sorry, but that was required to implement all audio downloads.
|
||
|
|
- default download format for youtube videos on all platforms is now webm. except for ios.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- cobalt now has emoji, just to spice up the black and white ui. all of them have been tuned to look the best in both themes. isn't it cool?
|
||
|
|
- about, changelog, and donation popups have been merged into just one, for covnenience.
|
||
|
|
- changelog got a huge upgrade (as you can see), and now there are both major changes and latest commit info, just so commits can finally go back to being batshit insane.
|
||
|
|
- changelog popup appears on every major update, but you can disable it in settings, if you want to.
|
||
|
|
- changelog now opens by default when pressing "?" button. i don't think anyone reads "about" as often.
|
||
|
|
- settings (+) have been split into three tabs, also for convenience and ease of use.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- added support for donation links. you can now donate through boosty, not only via crypto :D
|
||
|
|
- donate popup has been rearranged and tuned just a tiny bit.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- you can now click away from any popup by pressing the void behind it.
|
||
|
|
- you can also press "escape" key on keyboard to close any popup.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- switchers and buttons are now way easier on eye. white border is gone from where it's unneeded.
|
||
|
|
- buttons are now very satisfying to press.
|
||
|
|
- switchers are scrollable if there's not enough space to fit all contents on screen.
|
||
|
|
- scaling is now even better than before.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
internal stuff:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- frontend won't send video related stuff if audio mode is on.
|
||
|
|
- matching has, yet again, gone through mitosis, and is now probably the cleanest it can get.
|
||
|
|
- page rendering is now modular, something like what frameworks have but way lighter. this makes adding new features WAY easier.
|
||
|
|
- removed some stuff that didn't make sense (like storing language of stream request).
|
||
|
|
- cleaned up insides of cobalt, of course.
|
||
|
|
- almost all links now open in new tab, just like they should have from the very beginning.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
known issues:
|
||
|
|
- impossible to download audio from vk. i'll try to fix it in the next update.
|
||
|
|
- headers are not sticky in tabbed popups. maybe this is a good thing, i'll think about it.
|
