A value starting with - or @ applies to its region (fr: -datacamp); a value with @ after a server is a whole query (fr: fr-bod@195.86.24.103). A selector in --proxy still wins.
On NordVPN, Windscribe and Surfshark, `@<name>` keeps and `@-<name>` skips a hosting network; `@<ip>` and `@-<ip>` pick or skip one server. The connect line names the server, IP and network. Surfshark pins an IP through a loopback TLS port.
POST/DELETE /api/dashboard/drain refuses new sessions and jobs (SERVER_DRAINING, 409) and warns open sessions. A CDN can replace a 5xx body, so server errors are now 422, retryable ones and the tunnel check 424, and a new middleware turns any 5xx into 422.
BREAKING CHANGE: INTERNAL_ERROR, DOWNLOAD_ERROR, WORKER_ERROR and the fallback return 422 instead of 500; NETWORK_ERROR and SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE return 424 instead of 503; /api/tunnel/check failures return 424 instead of 502.
A reverse tunnel over the remote connection: the server's service traffic leaves through the client's own network. Only the client dials. Adds the tunnel-test command.
Every structured error carries a short ref, appended to its message and logged with the request; /api/dashboard/status gains per-service error counts. Gzip now compresses in place.
Cloudflare replaces an origin 502 body with its own page, so clients got "502: Bad gateway" in place of the error and resent each failed licence.
BREAKING CHANGE: SERVICE_ERROR and DRM_ERROR now return HTTP 422 instead of 502.
dl and search keep the typed --proxy value, so --proxy controld:ca --remote sends the server the Control D resolver, not this machine's forwarder. The Control D log names the location and masks the resolver ID in place of 127.0.0.1.
Stash a failed or cancelled track's segments outside the task temp dir and restore them on the next download. Also drop a pre-sized data file with its .!dev control file.
The server and the client both check a forwarded cache file before they write it, because Cacher decodes it with jsonpickle. The session-create cache write now runs off the event loop.
Click picks the subcommand before the dl callback applies the service config, so Services.resolve_command now applies remote and server first. A REST API job routes from its request only.
Relabel HEVC HDR10 tracks whose first fragment carries ST 2094-40 SEI as HDR10P, for dl, the REST API and remote sessions. Config key hdr10plus_probe (default true).
Builds per-scene L1 in unshackle (PQ mean, letterbox-aware) with a generate_dv_mode config (v29/v40/legacy); a failed hybrid no longer exits 0 with no video.
--proxy now overrides HTTP(S)_PROXY and the Windows system proxy while keeping the env CA bundle. Core fallback sessions use the run's proxy, and a warn-only audit hook names service code that sends a request or opens a raw socket outside the proxy; a session with proxy_exempt = True opts out.
The server CDM stub names only the manifest's KIDs; sibling keys stay content keys. API and HTTP vaults retry a 429, and a vault that is down or still rate limited costs one timeout per run.
A tag with a region (en-US, es-419) matches only that variant and reports a miss instead of taking another region. A bare tag takes the variant it means (pt -> pt-BR, es -> es-ES) and falls back to any variant only when that one is missing. `orig` prefers the title's own tag, `-sl orig` resolves, forced and SDH subtitles are picked from their own pools, and the track name no longer strips the region from the cached language.
BREAKING CHANGE: -l es-419 no longer selects es-ES, and language_priority, language_tags and muxing.default_language treat a regional tag as exact.
The remote-dl client sends exact_lang in dl_params, and REST download jobs set it in the service ctx, so a service can skip the manifests of close-match languages.
The first of the widevine / playready config keys in a cdm entry sets which device loads first and which DRM system licenses a track that offers the two. An entry that lists playready first changes from Widevine to PlayReady.
--sample downloads only a time window of a title (default 120-180 s) and cuts the mux to it. --include-sample cuts a 60 s sample from a finished file. Both write to a Sample folder with a SAMPLE tag on the filename
A service that sets the flag gets no cookie load, no authenticate() call and no cookie save on a search, on the CLI and in the REST search handler. /api/services reports it as anonymous_search.
A REST job shows a wait_for_approval message as its notice field. search, list-titles and list-tracks fail at once on a login that needs the user. A remote client downloads through the --proxy it sends.
Extract the serve validation and app config builder so startup and reload share them. A bad file or a restart-only change keeps the running config; open CDM sessions survive.
Each keeps one kind of track inside its track type. A run of more than one title skips a title that has no such track. The REST API rejects a non-boolean value for a boolean dl param, and the DASH parser reads audio description from Role elements.
Remove only control characters in unicode mode. A mark after a zero width joiner or a digit was still dropped (#161). In ASCII mode a decomposed title now transliterates like the composed one.
Names change for titles with combining marks, compatibility ideographs or decomposed spellings, so an existing library can get a second folder.
