there are a lot more changes, such as rewritten docs and service-related improvements. we couldn't possibly make a thread that's readable enough & contained all changes, but you can read the entire changelog in cobalt: cobalt.tools/updates#11.0 (now with a better font!)

- the annoying popup is gone, it was replaced with a small tooltip above the input bar
- cobalt takes care of everything for you. no need to wait for turnstile to complete, just paste the link!

aside from local processing, we updated the web app a lot. everything looks better, feels better, and loads faster than ever before! we migrated parts of frontend to svelte 5, which improved rendering performance even more. it's beautiful!

local processing brings:
- best file compatibility
- detailed download progress
- faster processing
- better reliability
- and reduced load on public instances
it's really cool, and we're happy to finally release it for everyone!

youtube downloading is fixed reliably! (for now, at least)
go try it with various settings, all formats & qualities should be back: cobalt.tools
