V2024.10.0-rc1
Pre-releaseA Faster Parabolic π¨π¨
Release Candidate 1 of V2024.10.0 (continuation of V2024.9.0) is here!
Compared to V2024.9.0-beta3, this release adds a new Preferred Video Codec
option in Preferences, an improved format selection backend, a new subtitles selection interface for individual downloads, and the ability to copy the command used to run a download when viewing its log.
These are the final changes that we intend to make for this release cycle and are aiming to release a stable version on Wednesday October 2.
We recommend uninstalling any and all previous versions of Parabolic before installing and trying this beta.
This is a beta version, bugs are expected. Please file a bug report for any issue found.
