Persepolis Download Manager 5.2.0

What's new in 5.2.0

We are happy to announce the release of version 5.2.0 of Persepolis Download Manager.
This version includes several new features and important bugs have been fixed. Therefore, we strongly recommend all users to update to the new version.
Those who have kindly taken the responsibility of maintaining Persepolis for various distributions should note that some prerequisites for Persepolis have changed. Please visit this Persepolis wiki page before creating the Persepolis package.
Added Bundle for Linux Distributions
Users have often requested that Persepolis, like Windows and Mac, have a standalone version or a bundle for Linux distributions that can be downloaded and run with one click without worrying about installing prerequisites. This has happened in this version. You just need to download the Persepolis Linux bundle, make it executable if necessary, and easily run it with a double click. If you prefer this method, we recommend uninstalling previous versions before doing so. After the first run, the Persepolis bundle will automatically copy the .desktop file and the necessary icons to the required paths under the user's /home directory. It is important to note that we use nuitka to create the Persepolis Linux bundle, and for building for Mac and Windows, we use pyinstaller. The build process is fully automated and done via GitHub actions. Check out the automatic build repository.
We still welcome any one who are interested in creating and maintaining the Persepolis package for a distribution.
Persepolis Video finder has been improved.
- Nowadays, many video sharing sites use the m3u8. The Persepolis Video Downloader had issues downloading from some of these sites. This issue has been improved.
- In the new version of Persepolis, when you use the Persepolis Video Finder, the video thumbnail will be displayed for you, and the highest quality version will be automatically selected for download. However, you can choose lower quality versions if you wish.
