hey, notice anything different? well, at very least the page loaded way faster! this update includes many improvements and fixes, but also some new features.
|
|
|
|
<span class="text-backdrop">tl;dr:</span>
|
|
- twitter retweet links are now supported.
|
|
- all vimeo videos should now be possible to download.
|
|
- you now can download audio from vimeo.
|
|
- it's now possible to pick between preferred vimeo download method in settings.
|
|
- fixed issues related to tiktok, twitter, twitter spaces, and vimeo downloads.
|
|
- overall cobalt performance should be MUCH better.
|
|
|
|
service improvements:
|
|
- added support for twitter retweet links. now all kinds of tweet links are supported.
|
|
- fixed the issue related to periods in tiktok usernames (#96).
|
|
- fixed twitter spaces downloads.
|
|
- added support for audio downloads from vimeo.
|
|
- added ability to choose between "progressive" and "dash" vimeo downloads. go to settings > video to pick your preference.
|
|
- fixed the issue related to vimeo quality picking.
|
|
- fixed the issue when vimeo module wouldn't show appropriate errors and instead would fallback to default ones.
|
|
- improved audio only downloads for some edge cases.
|
|
- (hopefully) better youtube reliability.
|
|
- temporarily disabled douyin support due to api endpoint cut off.
|
|
|
|
interface improvements:
|
|
- merged clipboard and mode switcher rows into one for mobile view.
|
|
- added left-handed layout toggle for those who prefer to have the clipboard button on left.
|
|
- new custom-made clipboard icon. now it clearly indicates what it does.
|
|
- improved english and russian localization. both are way more direct and less bloaty.
|
|
- frontend page is now rendered once and is cached on disk instead of being rendered every time someone requests a page. this greatly improves page loading speeds and further reduces strain put on the server.
|
|
- frontend page is now minimized just like js and css files. this should minimize traffic wasted on loading the page, along with minor loading speed improvement.
|
|
- added proper checkbox icon for better clarity.
|
|
- checkboxes are now stretched edge-to-edge on phone to be easier to manage for right-handed people.
|
|
- removed button hover highlights on phones.
|
|
- fixed button press animations for safari on ios.
|
|
- fixed text selection on ios. previously you could select text or images anywhere, but now they're selectable in limited places, just like on other platforms.
|
|
- frontend platform is now marked in settings: p is for pc; m is for mobile; i is for ios. this is done for possible future debugging and issue-solving.
|
|
- better error messaging.
|
|
|
|
internal improvements:
|
|
- better rate limiting, there should be way less cases of accidental limits.
|
|
- added support for m3u8 playlists. this will be useful for future additions, and is currently used by vimeo module.
|
|
- added support for "chop" stream format for vimeo downloads.
|
|
- fixed vk user id extraction. i assumed the - in url was a separator, but it's actually a part of id.
|
|
- completely reworked the vimeo module. it's much cleaner and better performant now.
|
|
- minor clean ups across the board.
|
