Complete Version history / Release notes / Changelog / What's New for Quark Player
3.4.2 - Linux, Windows, & MacOS - 24th Release
Updated Electron from 25 > 28.2.7 (Fun fact: The bug that I reported to Electron, and told you guys about last release that was the reason I was staying on 25.x, actually got attention and was fixed! > electron/electron#41541 you can even see it in the release notes > https://releases.electronjs.org/release/v28.2.7 I think it's cool that a bug report of mine was actually seen by the Electron team and led to a fix for 28.x, 29.x, and 30.x that impacts everyone.) Thus, Quark Player will be using 28.x going forward.
Updated electron-store and electron-log
Corrected typo on the Help window (Shorcuts > Shortcuts)
Again reminder that people on Windows 7/8/8.1 and older Linux can use Quark Player Win7, which will be tracking updates in this repo, but just with staying on Node16/Electron 22, versus Node 18/Electron 28. Note that I will not be making MacOS builds in that repo, and Electron 26+ drops support for MacOS 10.13/10.14. SO, if you are using MacOS older than 10.15, you will be out of luck. For help, 3.3.4 is the last Quark Player version for those MacOS versions.
3.4.1 - Linux, Windows, & MacOS - 23rd Release
Updated to Electron 25 (25.9.8). I didn't update it to 28 due to a bug and to still support MacOS10.13/10.14
Secondary windows (like the about window, shortcuts window, etc.), now appear centered on the screen with the main window (if you have multiple monitors).
Added "Open config.json" item to the Developer menu
Added "Report an Issue" item to the About menu
Note, skipped 3.4.0 release
3.3.5 - Windows 7/8/8.1 & Ubuntu 16.04/Debian 8 - 22nd Release
Final sunset release for old OSes
Linted a few things
Added command line usage printout when using --help | -h flags
Added more stuff to the help window menubar, fixed transparency in the help window, and added MacOS subsection
3.3.4 - MacOS, Linux & Windows - 21st Release
Fixed MacOS logging
Updated adblocker
Fixed HBO Max not playing
Added JioCinema and SiriusXM as services
Changing the menubar visibility setting no longer requires a restart
Linted preload script
About Version window on MacOS keybinding doesn't conflict with other platforms anymore
NOTE: This is the last version of Quark Player for Windows 7/8/8.1, Ubuntu 16.04/Debian8, and MacOS 10.13/10.14 ! The next version will be built on Electron 28.x.x to support newer MacOS, Arch Linux, and Gentoo.
3.3.3 - MacOS, Linux & Windows - 20th Release
Big Update!
Upgraded electron-log to 5.1.1
Corrected iconset for Linux & MacOS, and added a nice sidebar logo to the Windows installers.
Added .rpm packages for Linux
FIXED frameless mode. There is now a nice little "grab handle" bar to move the window around, and an "X" that hovers over any content in the window, in the upper left-hand corner, to exit frameless mode. This was present in ElectronPlayer, but has been broken in Quark Player until now, because of new content security restrictions in Electron >=13.
Added Arte.tv, HDFull TV, and Playdede as services
Enabled AdBlock and "Save Window Details" by default. Will only affect new installations.
Set minimum window size so you don't accidentally make it too small to handle
Added a --service commandline flag, which you can use to open it to any URL you like. Syntax is like quark-player --service https://www.example.com
Linted for Type errors
MacOS now shows proper About window
MacOS now doesn't open a new window each time you click the launcher
Note: Skipped 3.3.2 release.

Added new "Window" menu (and moved the "Go Back", "Go Forward", and "Close Window" menu items to this)
Added a full proper installer with options (not "oneclick" anymore)
Added "Open Log File" and "Open User Data Dir" to developer menu (will make development and addressing bugs easier, and easier for me if I have to tell users to fetch the log file),
Unified CSS, and made CSS of the About window and Keyboard Shortcuts window respect your Light/Dark Mode setting.
Alphabetized all Services in the menu. (I did this by just alphabetizing the entries in default-services.js, but would prefer to use something like array.sort(). If someone wants to help, let me know and/or file a PR.)
When enabling/disabling services, app will now auto-relaunch instead of prompting each time
3.2.2 - 13th Release - Linux, Windows & MacOS
Updated Electron to 22.3.22
Added two new Developer menu settings: Disable Acceleration and Enable Vulkan.

Fixed Titlebar on MacOS
Disabled Transparency on Windows and MacOS (Might also disable it on Linux in the future)
Added option to disable auto-adding "https://" in the "Open Custom URL" Dialog box. The default is to add https:// so for example you have to put in google.com or wikipedia.org. In the Settings menu, you can select "Omit https:// from Custom URL". When this setting is on, you have to enter the full URL like https://google.com and https://wikipedia.org. The default behavior is useful when manually typing in URLs, so that you don't always have to enter https:// beforehand. Enabling the Omit setting is useful when you will be copy/pasting alot of URLs from another source (like a web browser) so that it inputs correctly.
