Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[Unreleased]

Added

• version-aware ffmpeg selection: detect Opera's bundled Chromium version and download the matching nwjs-ffmpeg release instead of always using the latest
• per-variant Chromium detection via binary inspection (get_chromium_major)
• ffmpeg download caching: skip re-download when multiple Opera variants share the same Chromium version

Changed

• universal shebang bash interpreter to safely find bash on $PATH
• Widevine CDM is now downloaded once before the main loop instead of redundantly per variant
• release data is fetched once upfront (?per_page=50) and reused for version matching

Removed

Fixed

• in the preflight check: Prefer our user-friendly error messages while avoiding double error message from the operating system by redirecting also stderr to /dev/null
• potential runtime error: prefer command -v over which-command, which can have different behaviour on different Linux distributions and always use the first result in PATH independently of multiple defined commands
• grep error when CDM_FLAG starts with -- by adding explicit end-of-options separator (grep -qF -- "$CDM_FLAG")
