    Version 3.1.0

    Released Jun 24, 2026 - 1.14 MB
    Works with firefox 140.0 and later
    Added
    • Full i18n coverage: all UI strings in popup, options, and context menu are now localizable (English + Chinese)
    • Shared lib/ modules: lib/settings.ts, lib/aria2-rpc.ts, lib/ariang-url.ts, lib/dom.ts

    Changed
    • Popup and options pages now save settings via background message API instead of direct storage writes
    • RPC reconnection only triggers when host/port/protocol actually change (not on every settings save)
    • Request ID prefix is session-stable instead of regenerating with Date.now() per request
    • Torrent/metalink fetch now has 30-second timeout via AbortController

    Fixed
    • getCookies() previously skipped cookie fetching for the first browser tab (tabId=0 falsy check)
    • Removed dead content script (content.ts) — cookie fetching is done in background via browser.cookies
    • Context menu parent item ariang-main was redundantly matched in click handler (never fires in WebExtensions)
    • Context menu download path called browser.downloads.erase({ id: 0 }) with a dummy id — now calls addDownloadUrlToAria2 directly
    • blobToBase64 added null/empty Blob guard
    • download-ariang.ts redirect handling now covers 307/308 in addition to 301/302

    Removed
    • content.ts — dead code (background uses browser.cookies permission directly)
    • Debug console.log in connectToAria2()
    • Redundant aria-label attributes on i18n'd HTML elements

  • Version 3.0.0

    Released May 14, 2026 - 1.14 MB
    Works with firefox 140.0 and later
    [3.0.0] - 2026-05-14

    Added
    • webRequest + webRequestBlocking permissions for pre-download interception
    • webRequest.onHeadersReceived listener: intercepts Content-Disposition: attachment responses before the body arrives, preventing one-time signed URLs (e.g. GitHub) from being consumed by the browser before aria2 can fetch them

    Fixed
    • Small files (<1MB) from services like GitHub failing in aria2 — browser was finishing the download and consuming the signed URL before cancel could take effect
    • POST-triggered downloads (e.g. OpenWrt LuCI mtdblock export) being cancelled and lost — now detected via SKIP_URLS and left to the browser
    • blob: / data: URL downloads being sent to aria2 (which can't access local protocols) — now skipped

    Changed
    • Download-to-aria2 logic extracted into shared addDownloadUrlToAria2() function used by both webRequest and downloads.onCreated paths
