"content": "this update includes a bunch of improvements, many of which were made thanks to the community :D\n\nservice-related improvements:\n*; private soundcloud links are now supported (#68);\n*; tiktok usernames with dots in them no longer confuse cobalt (#71);\n*; .ogg files no longer wrongfully include a video channel (#67);\n*; fixed an issue that caused cobalt to freak out when user attempted to download an audio from audio-only service with \"mute video\" option enabled.\n\nui improvements:\n*; all buttons are now of even size and are displayed without any padding issues across all modern browsers and devices;\n*; checkbox is no longer crippled on ios;\n*; many explanation texts have been simplified to get rid of unnecessary bloat (no bullshit, remember?);\n*; moved tiktok section in video settings higher due to higher priority.\n\nstability improvements:\n*; fixed a memory leak that was caused by misconfigured stream information caching (#63).\n\ninternal improvements:\n*; requested streams are now stored in cache for 2 minutes instead of 1000 hours (yes, 1000 hours, i fucked up);\n*; cached data is now reused if user requests same content within 2 minutes;\n*; page render module is now even cleaner than before;\n*; proper support for bullet-points in loc strings.\n\nyou can suggest features or report bugs either on <a class=\"text-backdrop\" href=\"{repo}\" target=\"_blank\">github</a> or <a class=\"text-backdrop\" href=\"https://twitter.com/justusecobalt\" target=\"_blank\">twitter</a>.\nboth work just fine, use whichever you're more comfortable with.\n\nthank you for using cobalt, and thank you for reading this changelog.\n\nyou're amazing, keep it up :)"
