Introduce an automated workflow to keep the README's Python Dependencies section in sync with requirements.txt. Adds .github/workflows/sync-readme-dependencies.yml which runs scripts/sync_readme_dependencies.py on changes to requirements.txt (or manually), then opens a PR via peter-evans/create-pull-request. Adds the sync_readme_dependencies.py script that parses requirements.txt and replaces a managed block in README.md delimited by <!-- python-dependencies:start --> / <!-- python-dependencies:end -->. Also updates README.md to include those markers and correct dependency names/formatting. Additionally, change create-release.yml to use RELEASE_TOKEN (secrets.RELEASE_TOKEN) for release uploads instead of the repository GITHUB_TOKEN.
Add a <meta name="darkreader-lock"> tag to prevent Dark Reader from altering the docs styling. Adjust client-side routing so only '/' is replaced with the 'start' tab; unknown paths now open the 'notfound' tab instead of being redirected to start.
Introduce _apply_layout_fast to update the image overlay quickly on window resize using the cached QImage and FastTransformation. Called from the Resize event handler before the resize timer, it handles wallpaper mode (fast scale, center-crop to parent) and non-wallpaper mode (positioning by state.image_position and state.image_offset) to provide immediate visual feedback without running the heavier _apply_layout.
Add a 100ms single-shot QTimer to debounce Resize events and avoid reloading/layout on every resize. Cache the loaded QImage in _cached_qimage/_cached_path and only reload from disk when the image path changes. Extract layout/apply logic into _apply_layout and clear cache in update_image_overlay when a new path is provided. These changes reduce disk I/O and repeated layout work during rapid resizes.
Improve thread-safety, logging, and various bug fixes across the app.
Key changes:
- Add and use state.downloads_lock around accesses to state.active_downloads in multiple modules (UI, libtorrent, misc, direct downloads) to prevent race conditions.
- Prevent concurrent dl_status_loop runs using a non-blocking _loop_lock and ensure proper iteration over a snapshot of downloads.
- Add metadata timeout when waiting for torrent metadata and fix free-space check logic to remove or reject downloads appropriately.
- Refactor download log persistence: add _load_downloads and _save_downloads helpers and centralize JSON read/write logic in utils/logging/logs.py.
- Optimize DirectDownloadStatus speed window by switching to deque and using popleft to trim older samples.
- Trim console log widget to 500 lines to avoid unbounded growth.
- Add small state fields for custom image positioning (x/y and enabled flag).
- Fix Steamrip scraper caching behavior and make Uztracker return an empty list on fetch failures.
- Add defensive checks in run_download to handle missing links.
These changes focus on stability and correctness for concurrent download handling and durable logging.
Remove automatic main push trigger from dev workflow (now only workflow_dispatch) and add a new release workflow (.github/workflows/release.yml). The release workflow triggers on tag pushes, builds artifacts for Linux, Windows and macOS using a matrix, sets up Python/uv, installs build tools (Nuitka/PyInstaller/UPX where needed), injects a short commit SHA into build_info.json, packages artifacts, uploads them, generates checksums, and creates a GitHub release with the built assets.
Capture the original state.image_path at dialog start, connect the Image Path QLineEdit's textChanged signal to update state.image_path immediately, and restore the original image_path if the settings dialog is cancelled. This matches existing undo behavior for width/offset/opacity and prevents partial image path edits from persisting when the dialog is rejected.
Add a new docs/about page (docs/docs.html) with site header/footer and basic About layout. Expand the Docs tab in docs/index.html with a Features section, General Information, and Sources table (including a link to the server repo and usage notes). Update docs/main.css to add styles for .sources-text, .docs-grid, .docs-tips and headings to support the new documentation layout and improve visual presentation.
Introduce an accent color preference across the app: add a settings UI input (with restart note), persist it to AppState and config (read/write), and accept it in save_settings. Integrate the value into theming: compute a semi-transparent selection color, apply it to table selection styles, and pass it to qdarktheme as the primary color (including when window transparency is enabled). Also apply the accent to the tracker combo selection styling as a UI polish.
