-## ✨ What's New in v6.0.0
-
-This release focuses on providing more granular control over file organization and improving at-a-glance status monitoring.
-
-### New Features
-- **Live Error Count on Button**: The **"Error" button** now instantly shows you how many files have failed during a download. It will update with a live count, like **`(3) Error`**, so you can see the status without opening the dialog.
-- **Date Prefix for Post Subfolders**: A new **"Date Prefix"** checkbox is available in the advanced settings. When used with the "Subfolder per Post" option, it automatically adds the post's upload date to the folder name (e.g., `2025-07-11 Post Title`), making it easy to sort your downloads chronologically.
-- **Keep Duplicates Within a Post**: A **"Keep Duplicates"** checkbox has been added. This feature tells the downloader to save all files from a single post, even if they have the same name. Unique files will be saved with a numbered suffix (like `image_1.jpg`) instead of being skipped.
-
-### Bug Fixes & Quality of Life
-- The downloader is now more resilient and correctly renames large `.part` files upon completion.
-- The list of failed files in the Error Dialog is now correctly saved and restored with your session.
-- Your selected download location will now be remembered even after clicking "Reset".
-- The "Cancel" button is now enabled when a download is pending restoration, allowing you to discard the session easily.
-- Internal cleanup messages have been removed from the final download log for a cleaner summary.
+## ✨ What's New in v5.3.0
+- **Multi-Creator Post Fetching & Queuing:**
+ - The **Creator Selection popup** (🎨 icon) has been significantly enhanced.
+ - After selecting multiple creators, you can now click a new "**Fetch Posts**" button.
+ - This will retrieve and display posts from all selected creators in a new view within the popup.
+ - You can then browse these fetched posts (with search functionality) and select individual posts.
+ - A new "**Add Selected Posts to Queue**" button allows you to add your chosen posts directly to the main download queue, streamlining the process of gathering content from multiple artists.
+ - The traditional "**Add Selected to URL**" button is still available if you prefer to populate the main URL field with creator names.
+- **Improved Favorite Download Queue Handling:**
+ - When items are added to the download queue from the Creator Selection popup, the main URL input field will now display a placeholder message (e.g., "{count} items in queue from popup").
+ - The queue is now more robustly managed, especially when interacting with the main URL input field after items have been queued from the popup.
---
-## Next Update Plans
+## ✨ What's New in v5.1.0
+- **Enhanced Error File Management**: The "Error" button now opens a dialog listing files that failed to download. This dialog includes:
+ - An option to **retry selected** failed downloads.
+ - A new **"Export URLs to .txt"** button, allowing users to save links of failed downloads either as "URL only" or "URL with details" (including post title, ID, and original filename).
+ - Fixed a bug where files skipped during retry (due to existing hash match) were not correctly removed from the error list.
+- **Improved UI Stability**: Addressed issues with UI state management to more accurately reflect ongoing download activities (including retries and external link downloads). This prevents the "Cancel" button from becoming inactive prematurely while operations are still running.
-### 🔖 Post Tag Filtering (Planned for v6.1.0)
-A new **"Filter by Post Tags"** feature will allow users to:
-- Filter and download content based on specific post tags
-- Combine tag filtering with existing character filters and file types.
-- Use tag presets to streamline repetitive downloads.
+## ✨ What's New in v5.2.0
+- **Multi-language Support:** The interface now supports multiple languages: English, Japanese, French, Spanish, German, Russian, Korean, and Chinese (Simplified). Select your preferred language in the new Settings dialog.
+- **Theme Selection:** Choose between Light and Dark application themes via the Settings dialog for a personalized viewing experience.
+- **Centralized Settings:** A new Settings dialog (accessible via a settings button, often with a gear icon) provides a dedicated space for language and appearance customizations.
+- **Internal Localization:** Introduced `languages.py` for managing UI translations, streamlining the addition of new languages by contributors.
-This will give **greater control and precision** when downloading content from creators who use organized tagging.
-
-### 📁 Creator Download History (.json Save)
-To make incremental downloads easier, a new feature will let you:
-- **Save a `.json` file** with information about the posts you've already downloaded from a creator.
-- On future runs, the downloader will **compare this file to the live site** and download only **new posts**.
-- Great for keeping collections up-to-date without redownloading old content.
-
-This will be especially useful for users who regularly sync with creators and want to avoid duplicates or skipped posts.
