This is a preview version intended for testing purposes only
Please don't install in the same path as your existing version, previous version are not compatible with this one.

This is not a complete release, only windows binaries are provided.
Extract the zip in an empty folder, all data will be persisted in a folder named vripper within that folder
Or use the jar file (You need java 21 installed on your system)

What's new

  • Re-write parts of the application to enhance performance.
  • Get rid of spring boot
  • Faster app startup
  • Implement thread previews (There's a new config to cache these previews under Settings -> System settings -> Cache path)
  • Some UI enhancements
  • Upgrade to Java 21
  • Use alternative technologies (Koin, kotlin couroutine, exposed) in an effort to optimize resource utilization
  • Switch to h2 database (I may create an utility to migrate your data later)

Looking for feedback and bug reports.

Update 2

  • I released a newer version which address a bug in the proxy selection menu
  • I disabled some of the logs in the UI which are causing performance issue, will re-implement them more efficiently at a later stage (logs in file are untouched)
  • I moved the active tasks loading indicator in the status bar from bottom left to bottom right
  • Performance optimizations, the queue should handle 1000+ posts at a time with minimal lag (it was impossible before the app will crash)

Update 1

I don't know why but Windows Defender is reporting VRipper.exe as Trojan, this is a false positive, I suspect that the Java 21 packager is not widely spread yet and Windows is not up to date with the new format
I put a link to VirusTotal for antivirus scans

I've included the jar file as well but you'll have to install Java 21 on your own.

What's Changed

  • Fix for images on Pimpandhost throwing exception by @l1xander in #127
