| i've been longing to implement both of these things, and here they finally are. | |
| service-related improvements: | |
| - you now can download videos with no audio! simply enable the "mute audio" option in settings > audio. | |
| - soundcloud module has been updated, and downloads should no longer break after some time. | |
| visual improvements: | |
| - moved some things around in settings popup, and added separators where separation is needed. | |
| - updated some texts in english and russian. | |
| - version and commit hash have been joined together, now they're a single unit. | |
| internal improvements: | |
| - updated api documentation to include isAudioMuted. | |
| - simplified the startup message. | |
| - created render elements for separator and explanation due to high duplication of them in the page. | |
| - fully deprecated GET method for API requests. | |
| - fixed some code quirks. | |
| here's how soundcloud downloads got fixed: | |
| previously, client_id was (stupidly) hardcoded. that means cobalt wasn't able to fetch song data if soundcloud web app got updated. | |
| now, cobalt tries to find the up-to-date client_id, caches it in memory, and checks if web app version has changed to update the id accordingly. you can see this change for yourself on github. |
