Persepolis 5.0.1

** We are happy to announce the release of Persepolis Download Manager 5.0.1.**

Several important bugs have been fixed in this version.

• [Video finder][1] problems have been fixed. [1]: https://github.com/persepolisdm/persepolis/wiki/How-can-I-download-videos-from-youtube

• The problem of using cookies file has been fixed.

• Passing header issue has been fixed.

• wrong utf-8 file names has been fixed.

• If the download is paused by the user, the downloaded file will not be corrupted.

Maybe! In some distributions, download problems using Socks5 proxies are related to not installing the python3-pysocks package. I’m not sure about that!

New version of [persepolis_lib][2] has been released today. [2]: https://github.com/persepolisdm/persepolis_lib

Thanks to contributors for pull requests and bug reports. Special thanks to [@amirsina-mashayekh][3] . [3]: https://github.com/amirsina-mashayekh

Persepolis 5.0.0

We are happy to announce the release of Persepolis Download Manager 5.0.0.

The biggest change of this version is that we removed Aria2 and wrote the codes of the downloader section ourselves. Persepolis is no longer a graphical interface for Aria2. it is an independent download manager. The Persepolis downloader part (Persepolis_lib) has been released as a separate Python library in this repository to help other Python projects. Why we replaced Aria2 with Persepolis_lib? Recently we had problems with Aria2:

• Users had requested that the number of download connections be increased from 16, but Aria2 did not support more than 16 connections.

• Aria2 does not support Socks5.

• Persepolis communicated with Aria2 through xml rpc. Sometimes Aria2 crashed during communication and it was not easy to solve the problem. Persepolis_lib supports 64 connections for downloading. Persepolis_lib supports Sock5 and HTTP proxies. Because Persepolis_lib is written by [Python Requests][1], it no longer needs xml rpc. Pay attention that you can download HTTP and HTTPS links with Persepolis. [1]:https://github.com/psf/requests

** Of course, we respect the Aria 2 project and believe that it is very valuable. **

In this version, we have fixed some bugs reported by users. Also, dark fusion and light fusion styles were redesigned for this version. Thanks to the [qt-material][2] project. [2]: https://github.com/UN-GCPDS/qt-material

** Pay attention please: **

1. ** [Please note that the prerequisites for the installation have changed and become less.][3] ** [3]: https://github.com/persepolisdm/persepolis/wiki/git-installation-instruction

2. ** Be sure to finish your half-finished downloads before installing the new version. **

3. ** We recommend Windows users to uninstall the old version before installing the new version. **

4. [Great news for Debin users! PySide 6 has entered the Debin repositories.][4] If you are a Debian sid user, you can install package libpyside6-py3-6.6 instead of package python3-pyqt5. [4]: https://packages.debian.org/sid/libpyside6-py3-6.6

Thanks to contributors for bug reports!

Persepolis 4.3.0

We are happy to announce the release of Persepolis Download Manager 4.3.0.

In this version:

1- You can import link(s) from clipboard. Copy your link(s) and select “import links from clipboard” from file menu. You can also use the system tray icon context menu as well.

2- Also, Persepolis can automatically detect links in the clipboard. This feature is not active by default. You can enable this feature from the preferences window(Edit > Preferences > Preferences tab > check system clipboard for copied links). Persepolis can check the clipboard only when the main window is displayed.

3- In operating systems where PySide6 is not available in their repositories (for example, Debian), Persepolis uses PyQ5 to run. After running Persepolis with PyQt5, this error was displayed in the terminal: “Attribute Qt::AA_EnableHighDpiScaling must be set before QCoreApplication is created.” This bug has been fixed. PySide6 is the official Python module from the Qt for Python project and unfortunately It is not available in Debian repositories. PyQt6 is unofficial and it is available in Debian repositories. I hope PySide6 will be available in Debian distribution.

Thanks to contributors for pull requests and bug reports!
