- AddedSettings → Privacy → Exchange with the catalog server lists every request XLibrary sends to its catalog server and every answer, with what was sent and received and the keys to check it yourself; the log stays on this computer, can be exported, and a captured traffic file can be verified right in the app or with an open script
- AddedIf the catalog server stops supporting your version of XLibrary, the app says so and offers to check for an update instead of quietly showing no game data
- ImprovedUpdating a game keeps the launch settings of the previous version — CrossOver, Locale Emulator or Sandboxie, the runtime, launch parameters and working folder
- ImprovedJDownloader and the browser get one best mirror for your system with all its parts, so JDownloader no longer downloads the same game several times
- ImprovedA stopped install offers the step that fits the reason: "Retry install" after running out of space or a failed extraction, "Download again" when the downloaded files are damaged or gone
- ImprovedRPDL problems are explained in plain words — the session has ended, the torrent was removed, too many requests, or the site is unavailable
- ImprovedGoogle sign-in opens in the browser you chose in Settings, like F95zone links
- ImprovedDownload texts are clearer and fully translated
- ImprovedGame search in the add-game dialog shows exact matches first
- ImprovedCovers and screenshots from the XLibrary catalog switch to full-size images on the next library check
- ImprovedChanging status, tags or version for a large selection in the library no longer freezes the app and shows progress; removing many games at once is fast
- ImprovedXLibrary's data folder no longer grows with every start: backups taken before library upgrades no longer pile up copies of the whole library, old ones are cleaned up in the background, and very large libraries load instead of failing
- Fixed"Skip" in the "Set Game Version" window is remembered, so it no longer pops up before every launch of a game you set up yourself
- FixedWindows games on a Mac start through CrossOver (on Linux through Wine, Proton and the like) instead of failing; a new install of a Windows build on a Mac gets CrossOver right away if a bottle is chosen in Settings
- FixedA launch that fails tells you why (already running, file missing, no permission, no launch tool), and a second click no longer starts a second copy of the game
- Fixed"Retry" continues a download from what is already downloaded; "Download again" deletes the downloaded files only after you confirm
- FixedThe version you are playing is never moved to the Trash; if a new version closes right after launch, the notification offers to make the previous one the default
- FixedA download can no longer be removed while it is being extracted or copied
- FixedRPDL downloads and "Copy / Open magnet link" work again after RPDL stopped sending magnet links
- FixedGoogle sign-in showed an error page instead of "Authorization Successful" in installed builds, and a failed sign-in could still show you as signed in
- Fixed"Open folder" on a download or install opens the right folder instead of failing
- FixedThe Partial Data badge stays only on games that really miss details — a missing cover or tags no longer keeps it, and games already in your library are rechecked
- FixedConfirming a version in the version window closes the confirmation right away instead of leaving it on top while the game starts
- FixedPlaytime of a session is no longer counted twice when the interface reloads
- FixedPlaytime is now tracked for macOS apps, .bat and .cmd files, scripts and games started through Wine, CrossOver or Locale Emulator; sessions shorter than 10 seconds are not recorded
- FixedRyuugames, Anime-Sharing and GOG games are checked for updates again, and their details come from the XLibrary catalog
- FixedAdding or refreshing a game by the link to its page works for every built-in source
- FixedNotifications follow the app theme, including the dark theme
- FixedSmart search recovers by itself after its model download was interrupted, without restarting XLibrary, and its status no longer covers the bulk actions panel
- FixedGames without a cover show a placeholder instead of "Loading…" forever
- FixedImporting your own export again no longer doubles each game's import history
What's new in XLibrary
Every release, newest first. Latest: version 3.2.0, released Oct 15, 2026.
In short
- 3.2.0Settings → Privacy now lists every exchange with the catalog server. Updates keep each game's launch settings, bulk edits no longer freeze, and failed launches say why.
- 3.1.1Update checks, game details and covers come from the XLibrary catalog in one fast request, also where F95zone is blocked.
- 3.1.0Safe updates: saves backed up, mods carried over, rollback, and torrent updates that download only what changed. Plus mirror fallback and the full 7-Zip.
- FixedChecking library games for new versions, update notifications and automatic updates did not work in 3.0 and 3.1 — they now come from the XLibrary catalog server
- ImprovedGame search and game details come from the XLibrary catalog — one fast request instead of visiting F95Zone, DLSite, VNDB, Steam and other sites one by one, without their rate limits
- ImprovedCovers and screenshots come from the XLibrary catalog, so they load even where F95Zone and other sites are blocked; covers already in your library switch over on the next check
- ImprovedXLibrary uses your system DNS again; secure DNS was forced for all its traffic and broke the network on connections where it is blocked
- ImprovedIf the catalog is unreachable or a game is not in it yet, XLibrary says so instead of showing an empty result
- AddedGame updates are announced as soon as a new version is out — "Update" in the notification installs it next to the one you have. Updating on its own happens only if you turn it on for the whole library (Settings → System) or for a single game (its launch menu)
- AddedUpdating a torrent download of a game you have installed reuses its unchanged files and downloads only what changed — often megabytes instead of gigabytes
- AddedSaves are backed up before every update (game folder and profile folders for Ren'Py, Unity and NW.js games) and can be restored in one click from the launch menu; the current saves are backed up again before a restore
- AddedYour mods and translations move to the new version on update; game files you replaced are left out and the notification tells you how many
- AddedAfter the new version has run fine twice, the previous one is moved to the Trash a day later — the notification offers "Keep", and a kept version is never removed. If the new version closes right after launch, XLibrary offers to play the previous one
- AddedIf a file host refuses a download (file removed, captcha, long quota wait), XLibrary switches to the next mirror from the game's thread by itself
- AddedMulti-part RAR archives are extracted without installing anything — XLibrary now ships the full 7-Zip. The archive password is taken from the game's thread; if it is missing or wrong, the download waits for you to enter it, even after a restart
- AddedDownloads sent to JDownloader are picked up and installed automatically when JDownloader finishes
- AddedThe browser extension can "Add & install" a game in one click and update an installed game right from the panel; a download that waited for an RPDL sign-in continues as soon as you sign in
- ImprovedDownloads pause while you play a game and, on Steam Deck, while on battery, and continue afterwards — both can be turned off in Settings
- ImprovedA lost network no longer fails a download: it waits and continues as soon as the connection is back; running out of disk space pauses the download until space is freed
- ImprovedLong steps show real progress — taking files from the installed version, copying from JDownloader, extracting archives, copying between drives, backing up and restoring saves
- ImprovedWhen several launch files are found, the best one for your system is picked automatically; the others are one click away in the launch menu
- ImprovedThe installed version is detected from the game files and the release name, so XLibrary no longer asks for it after an install
- FixedRestarting a download no longer forgets the archive password
- FixedExport targets disappeared from the list as soon as any plugin with an export target was enabled
- FixedRelease notes from a manual update check were shown as a raw list
- AddedA new interface built from the ground up — faster library, filters with exclusions and saved presets, grid and list layouts, card context menus, and reworked settings, launchers, backups, game updates, media and extension pages
- AddedSteam Deck mode — XLibrary runs as its own shell in Gaming Mode with an in-game overlay, on-screen keyboard that types through Steam Input, trackpad cursor, volume and brightness controls, Steam downloads and Wi-Fi sign-in portals right in the overlay
- AddedA full Steam Input layout editor with a controller schema, unsaved-layout safety and a gyro calibration wizard
- AddedBrowser extension 3.0 — the panel and catalog marks are drawn by the app: change a game's status from its badge, rate it, leave a note, see playtime and where else the game is listed, hide games you're not interested in, filter catalog pages and hide the panel per site
- AddedOne-click game updates — when a newer version is out, "Update to …" downloads it, installs it next to the version you have, carries your saves over (Ren'Py, RPG Maker, Wolf RPG, KiriKiri) and makes it the one that launches; the old version can be moved to the Trash from the launch menu
- AddedDownloads from file hosts — Pixeldrain, MEGA, MediaFire and BuzzHeavier are downloaded, checked and installed by XLibrary itself, with resume after interruptions; paste a link in the game's Downloads section or press "Download from this thread" on an F95zone or LewdCorner page to pick the best mirror for your system
- AddedHosts that need a browser (captchas, timers) open in the browser or go straight to JDownloader with one click
- Addeditch.io downloads — add your itch.io API key once and download the files of games you own from the game window
- AddedXLibrary tells you when an install finishes ("installed · Play"), stops for your choice ("Open") or fails ("Retry") — with a system notification when the window is in the background; the browser extension panel shows the same result
- AddedWhen several launch files are found, the Downloads section shows them so you can pick the right one and finish the install in one click
- ImprovedDownload options are matched to the game by a scoring search that also understands non-Latin titles, with the best match marked as recommended
- ImprovedDownloads are queued (three at a time), retried automatically after network errors and reconnected when a torrent stalls; pause, resume, retry, "Download again" and "Install again from downloaded files" are available on every download
- ImprovedArchives are extracted next to the games folder and moved into place in one step, so an interrupted install never leaves a half-copied game; split 7-Zip archives are supported, and password-protected or incomplete multi-part archives are reported clearly instead of failing with a generic error
- ImprovedBefore a download starts, XLibrary checks that there is room for both the download and the installed game; leftovers from interrupted installs are cleaned up on the next start
- ImprovedAn install interrupted by closing the app continues by itself from the downloaded files on the next start
- ImprovedLinux and macOS builds packed on Windows keep working after install — launchers and Ren'Py runtimes get their run permission back
- FixedDownload and install progress could overwrite each other and lose installations or launch settings when the app and the browser extension worked at the same time; installs are now recorded by the app alone, one change at a time
- FixedAnalysing a password-protected 7-Zip archive could hang the installer forever
- FixedFolder names reserved on Windows (CON, NUL, COM1…) or ending with a dot no longer break installs, and system folders on non-C: drives are protected from installs
- FixedDuplicate-game detection no longer treats different Japanese or Cyrillic titles as the same game because of stripped diacritics
- FixedThe Downloads section kept showing "Sign in / register" after a successful RPDL login; it now shows which account you're signed in as and offers a sign-out button right there
- FixedWhen an RPDL session expired, a managed torrent download failed silently and the account was dropped without asking you to sign in again
- ImprovedRPDL sessions now renew themselves — your credentials are kept in the system keychain and used to sign in again automatically before the token expires or when RPDL rejects the session, so you only need to re-enter the password if it changed
- AddedXLibrary now updates itself on macOS — the update is downloaded and verified in the background, applied in place, and finished with a quick restart, so updating no longer requires manually downloading the DMG or clearing the "damaged app" warning
- FixedThe Application Updates section could show a blank "Error:" with no reason; update errors now display the actual message, and download progress updates live while an update is downloading
- FixedLibraries that came up empty or partial after updating from 1.x now repair themselves — if the first migration was interrupted, the missing games are automatically re-imported from your original data on the next launch, without duplicating anything you added since. If your library "disappeared" after an update, this release brings it back
- FixedRestoring a backup could silently do nothing; a failed restore now shows an error message with the actual reason, and restores that previously failed this way work again after the library repair above
- AddedA new Discovery section shows your entire owned Steam library — from native macOS Steam and from Steam inside a CrossOver bottle — with covers, developer, year, rating and genres taken from local Steam data, plus search, sorting, played-hours and an adults-only filter
- AddedDiscovery games can be added to the library in one click or linked to an existing library entry via right-click; both create regular launch configurations (native Steam or CrossOver bottle) that coexist with any other launchers on the game
- AddedOne-click automatic Steam-under-CrossOver setup — XLibrary creates a dedicated bottle, silently installs Windows Steam into it, and selects it; signing in is the only manual step
- AddedSteam games can be installed right from Discovery with live progress, download speed and completion notifications; installing a game also adds it to your library, and the progress is visible on its catalog card, list row and game window
- AddedSteam play sessions are now tracked for both native and bottle launches — a live "Playing now" indicator with a session timer appears in the game window and on catalog cards, and finished sessions land in the journal and total playtime
- AddedPlaytime tracked by Steam itself is shown as reference info next to your own tracked playtime and is never mixed into it, so your stats survive even if the Steam integration goes away
- ImprovedWindows-only Steam games no longer offer a native macOS Steam launch — the bottle launcher is offered right away, avoiding Steam's "Invalid platform" error
- ImprovedSteam-managed games skip the "Set Game Version" prompt; sessions and version history are grouped under an automatic "Steam" version label
- ImprovedGame-launched notifications show a human-readable launch method instead of internal wine command paths
- ImprovedInstalling a Windows-only game with no bottle configured now leads straight to the automatic Steam setup in Settings
- FixedNW.js/RPG Maker games rendered a transparent window when launched under CrossOver; the required GPU flag is now applied automatically after bottle installs
- FixedLive session events were silently dropped by the event sanitizer, so session-ended notifications, journal entries and playtime updates never arrived while the app was running
- FixedLaunching a game from the catalog card now tracks the play session the same way as launching from the game window
- AddedXLibrary now has an opt-in local plugin system for extending the app without changing its core. Plugins let users add new game catalogs and browser sources, import and export formats, library filters, custom game fields and actions, focused UI tools, and background integrations — so each person can install only the sources and workflows they need, while new integrations can evolve independently of the main application
- AddedLocal
.xlpluginpackages are validated before installation and run in isolation with explicit permissions, settings, connected accounts, diagnostics, and safe enable, disable, retry, and uninstall controls - AddedThe Plugin SDK now includes typed contracts, a
pnpm dlx/npxproject generator, a runnable starter template, a local demo and test host, one-command.xlpluginpackaging, and documentation for creating and validating XLibrary plugins - AddedLocal semantic game search now understands translated, multilingual, transliterated, and manually linked game names while keeping its index on the device between launches
- AddedSearch indexing now updates incrementally in the background in small batches, shows progress in the app, and can be disabled in System settings when the device should avoid local model work
- AddedData exchange now supports guided import and export flows for XLibrary profiles, F95Checker databases, and Gamelist-Manager, EmulationStation, Batocera, and ES-DE libraries, with previews, validation, progress, and import history
- ImprovedBackup and restore now include plugin data while preserving the separation between shared library data and device-specific setup
- ImprovedThe plugin setup guide now explains the prerequisites, generated project files, local demo, tests, packaging, and installation flow from an empty folder
- ImprovedSearch results now combine exact, fuzzy, semantic, transliterated, and source-alias matches with confidence tiers, so weak guesses are not treated as automatic extension links
- ImprovedThe browser extension now supports explicit access to the current HTTPS page for source capture and passes the page title or manual query into future library matching
- ImprovedSemantic search now shows a card-shaped loading skeleton during matching instead of briefly showing an empty library, with spacing aligned to real grid and list cards
- FixedAn exited Electron logging worker could trigger an uncaught-error loop and keep the app near 100% CPU; logging now fails safely without taking the main process into a busy loop
- AddedBackups now keep library data and device-specific launcher setup as separate restore points, so you can restore either one on its own
- ImprovedBackup previews and restore confirmation now show when launcher data comes from a specific device or an older combined backup
- FixedChoosing
All Gamesnow clears filters without unexpectedly resetting the sort order you were already using - FixedModal backdrops and the fullscreen screenshot viewer no longer cover the custom window title bar, so window controls stay usable during bulk imports and image browsing
- FixedJournal entry dialogs now stay scrollable on smaller windows so the save and cancel actions do not slip below the visible area
- FixedTag filters now select the visible searched tag immediately instead of reusing a stale pre-filtered row until you reopen the dropdown
- FixedSave Filter Preset now shows how many games match the current filters instead of always showing the full library size
- FixedRefreshing a Steam primary source now fetches screenshots reliably again instead of leaving games stuck in Partial Data after switching back from another source
- FixedDLSite games found by product ID can now be added from the in-app Add Game flow instead of failing unless you use the browser extension overlay
- FixedDLSite product-ID imports now default to the English product page so Add Game previews and saved source links stop forcing Japanese metadata by default
- FixedPasting standard DLSite product URLs into Add Game now normalizes older page variants more reliably instead of rejecting some valid product links
- FixedExtension source-linking now matches existing library titles more reliably instead of depending on a weak substring-only score
- Fixed
Open in Appfrom the browser extension now brings the desktop window forward before opening the requested game - FixedTurning Keep Updated on or off now refreshes update badges and counters immediately instead of waiting for another manual reload
- FixedLaunch-time version editing now closes cleanly before the game launch continues, avoiding a stuck-feeling dialog race when you set a version right before playing
- FixedSession journal recovery now restores ended play sessions that finished before the app UI subscribed, so playtime and last-played stats stop going missing after restart
- FixedSlower extension-based provider fetches now retry once and use a longer timeout before failing, reducing premature scrape errors on slower sources
- FixedRestoring older combined backups now lets you choose whether to bring back only shared library data or also the saved launcher setup from that backup
- FixedCatalog carousels now preserve the currently visible screenshot when the same image set refreshes, reducing snap-back flicker after manual switching
- FixedF95Checker imports now resolve relative game executables using F95Checker's saved base games folder, so imported launchers work again for portable-style setups
- FixedBrowser extension support for newer source sites now loads on all shipped provider domains again, so overlays and page scraping are available on RyuuGames, Anime-Sharing, LewdCorner, Getchu, VNDB, LewdGames, and FapForFun
- FixedAdd Game search now includes LewdCorner and Getchu end-to-end again, so search results from those sources open the same multi-source preview and add flow as the rest of the supported providers
- FixedPlay session tracking no longer silently drops runs just because a launcher name or version field is blank, so journal session entries and total playtime updates resume working for affected games
- FixedFirefox release builds now reuse one verified signed XPI across all platforms and publish that same signed file with the release, preventing unsigned downloads and AMO signing races
- FixedIn-app app updates on packaged builds no longer fail during download with a broken updater runtime dependency, so update downloads can start normally again
- ImprovedWhat's New now handles changelog entries with release dates more reliably
- FixedThe in-app Add Game flow no longer gets stuck forever if one source is slow, unavailable, or fails to respond
- FixedGames with a configured launcher now appear under the Installed filter even before you set an installed version tag
- FixedPortable builds now recover more gracefully when app settings cannot be opened, avoiding silent background startup hangs on problematic network-share launches
- FixedRelease Date editing now saves the exact day you picked instead of shifting it backward in some time zones
- FixedSorting by individual ratings and titles or developer names with numbers now keeps games in the expected order
- FixedAdd Game no longer sends you to the wrong library entry because of an overly aggressive duplicate title match
- FixedNewly added games from the browser extension no longer inherit community/source scores as your personal overall rating
- FixedBulk Add now accepts bare F95 thread URLs and normalizes F95 links to a consistent canonical thread format
- ImprovedApp startup is now lighter and more responsive, especially for large libraries
- FixedAutomatic startup now stays off if you disabled it manually, while still remaining enabled by default for new installs
- FixedSeveral sorting options in the library now show games in the correct order more reliably
- FixedBackup restore now preserves installed versions, launcher setup, and recent play state more reliably
- FixedAfter restoring a backup, the library and settings now refresh immediately in the app
- AddedBackend coverage for image cache streaming, header detection, and WebP conversion concurrency

- ImprovedLarge library filters, installation counters, virtual rows, persisted search, and catalog carousels now do less repeated work while browsing
- ImprovedImage format detection now reads only small file headers instead of loading full images
- FixedFirefox extension add-to-library messages no longer fail when Vue reactive data is passed through browser messaging
- FixedGames added or changed from the browser extension now refresh the library and search results without waiting for another local edit

auth-success.htmlsource paths during sign-in
- ImprovedWindows release artifact uploads now publish only the intended release files
- FixedWindows Setup and Portable builds now launch correctly again after installation and in portable mode
- FixedMissing packaged runtime dependencies for Sharp, WebTorrent, and node-datachannel no longer break Windows startup or packaged self-test
- FixedWindows packaged self-test now passes again for both Setup and Portable builds
- FixedGoogle OAuth callback pages now resolve correctly in packaged builds, preventing sendFile path errors during sign-in
- FixedSeveral Windows packaging/runtime issues that caused installed or portable builds to fail immediately on startup
