Product updates
VODForge changelog
A plain-language record of recent desktop releases. GitHub Releases remains the source of truth for every artifact, signature, and checksum.
VODForge 0.1.8
- •Search your Library and organize saved media with private notes, tags, and reusable categories.
- •Play MP4 and MP3 files offline inside VODForge with synchronized audio/video, chapters, and preview moments where available.
- •Turn a local MP3 and still image into an MP4, with independent 720p, 1080p, 4K, and fixed-bitrate profiles.
- •Theme changes apply immediately, Settings supports trackpad scrolling, and controls are refined within the familiar layout.
- •Recover missing media using the original output folder without duplicating its directory hierarchy.
- •Anonymous usage sharing has an in-app control; installation counts remain separate from recurring feature events.
Full release notes on GitHub →VODForge 0.1.7
- •Settings and queued work now survive restarts, while owned download and transcode processes stop cleanly when the app quits.
- •Library rows now derive from durable run history, so queued, active, completed, failed, stopped, and retried work stays consistent.
- •Exact duplicate downloads can reuse a valid existing file, while genuinely different settings or destinations remain separate.
- •Run Deck, Library, progress, and window resizing now avoid unnecessary rebuilds and redraws.
