Just minor fixes and improvements. New features to come in the next update.
Note: This release initially contained a broken AppImage with which plugins did not work. A fixed AppImage has since been uploaded in its place.

What should I download?
For the optimal experience, use one of the below builds, depending on your platform:
Windows: QtTube-Windows-1.1-Setup.exe or QtTube-Windows-1.1-Portable.zip
Linux: QtTube-Linux-1.1.AppImage
The remaining builds are not intended for general use. They will not run out of the box and do not have full plugin support.
Also, the program is fully functional on macOS and a proper release for it is intended to come soon.
Known Issues
Below are known issues in this release which are planned to be addressed, but were deemed non-essential for now:
- Self-contained builds (i.e. AppImage) may not play videos in their maximum quality due to "official" Qt releases missing built-in support for some codecs, most importantly H.264. A solution to this is actively being looked into. (#19)
- Comments are not yet available - any UI for them is nonfunctional.
- Top bar auto hiding is partially broken with Recommended/Comments buttons on video page. (#23)
