AddedPre-configured archive.org depot sources on first launch so the app is usable out of the box — the two sources sit in Settings → Depot Sources and can be removed anytime. Flatpak/Flathub builds intentionally ship without defaults (compliance).
AddedConfirmation prompt when removing a pre-installed source, with a heads-up that Search by App ID will stop working until you add your own. The prompt only fires once per default source — if you re-add it manually later, removing it stays quiet.
v1.4.1May 13, 2026
FixedFirst-launch flow no longer overlaps modals — language picker, telemetry consent and the auto-update check now run in strict sequence
FixedDepot source resolver auto-detects the in-archive root folder from any URL ending in .zip / .tar.gz — works for archive.org/download/<item>/<file>.zip/ URLs and not just view_archive.php
FixedError messages (red banners) are selectable again so you can copy them into bug reports
FixedCI workflows: build date is now populated when releases are triggered via workflow_dispatch (was previously empty in the Debug Info panel)
ChangedRemoved the hardcoded branches/ path prefix from generic and GitHub depot sources — paste the URL that points directly at the directory containing the <appid>/ folders
v1.4.0May 12, 2026
AddedMulti-language UI — English and German with a first-launch language picker (flag cards) and an in-app switcher in Settings that restarts the app on apply
AddedOpt-in anonymous telemetry with end-to-end encrypted transport — disabled by default, can be reviewed and toggled in Settings, no game IDs or file contents are ever sent
AddedStep 4: shortcut creation — generate desktop and start menu shortcuts for downloaded games automatically (Windows)
AddedDownload history with re-download and open-folder actions per entry, plus a one-click clear
AddedUser-configurable depot sources — paste any GitHub repo or archive.org URL, or any HTTPS folder following the branches/<appid>/ layout
AddedFlatpak packaging and a per-install-method updater (binary auto-update vs. package-manager hint)
AddedDebug info panel in Settings — channel, version, commit, build date, profile, platform — with one-click copy for bug reports
ChangedAll UI icons are now consistent inline Lucide-style stroke SVGs (gear, moon/sun, alert-triangle, folder, search, etc.) — same look on every OS, theme-aware, no emoji rendering drift
ChangedAccessibility pass — aria-label on icon-only buttons, role="dialog" + aria-modal on all six modals, Tab/Esc focus trap, role="progressbar" on the workflow stepper
ChangedText selection disabled app-wide so the desktop app no longer feels like a webpage; opt-in only on inputs, terminal output and code blocks
ChangedLight-mode buttons no longer disappear on hover (CSS specificity fix) and the hover glow is themed via shadow tokens
RemovedHardcoded Internet Archive source — replaced by the user-configured sources list (legacy archive.org/view_archive.php URLs still work, you just paste them yourself)
RemovedGitHub personal access token field — no longer needed since GitHub is just one of many configurable sources
RemovedAlternative sources (kernelos, printedwaste) — replaced by the user-configured sources model
FixedDocs site dropped FontAwesome, fixed outdated marketing copy, and the obsolete GitHub rate-limit FAQ

Changed"Start Over" button now returns to the depot selection screen with previous selections preserved
RemovedExport .bat/.sh feature removed — simplified UI focus on direct downloads
