A bug was fixed that caused insufficient permissions to open downloads directly from within the app. Also, after hearing a suggestion from some user we met at [FrOSCon](https://newpipe.net/blog/talk/pinned/froscon-2025/), we added a button to remove a download entry in NewPipe without deleting the actual file.
