V2023.11.0
Windows + Other Features + Fixes 🪟
V2023.11.0 is here!
This release introduces a brand-new Windows app! We've been hard at work this month creating a Windows version of Parabolic using WinUI 3 and the WindowsAppSDK and we are very happy with it. We've worked out issues that we have had in the past with WinUI, i.e distributing the app via the Microsoft Store, and are able to publish an exe app installer just like traditional Windows applications! Try it out below :)
Besides the new Windows version, Parabolic has gained many features and fixes regarding subtitles, url validation, and quality selection of downloads. Read about it all below!

- Added the advanced option to prefer the adv1 codec for video downloads (#630)
- Added the "Best" resolution when downloading videos to allow Parabolic to pick the highest resolution for each video download (#613)
- A URL can now be passed to Parabolic via the command-line or the freedesktop application open protocol to trigger its validation of startup (#628)
- Improved the design of the Preferences dialog to allow for better searching of options
- The shell notification when a download completes now contains an "Open File" button to open the download directly (#666)
- Fixed an issue where aria's max connections per server preference was allowed to be greater than 16 (#627)
- Fixed an issue where enabling the "Download Specific Timeframe" advanced option would cause a crash for certain media downloads (#631)
- Fixed an issue where stopping all downloads would cause the app to crash (#655)
- Fixed an issue where some videos were not validated correctly (#651)
- Updated to GNOME 45 runtime with latest libadwaita design (#647)
