What's Changed in v1.2.0

This release focuses on delivering a fully localized experience, improving loading times, and bringing in community tools for open-source development!

🌍 Localization

• Full Bilingual Support: Every single string across the app—including the category manager, content details, buttons, and login states—is now properly localized in both English and Spanish. No more hardcoded strings!

⚡ Performance & Polish

• Parallel Login: Live TV, VOD, and Series now load concurrently instead of sequentially, significantly speeding up the login process on slower Xtream servers.
• Stable UI: Fixed the main HeroItem banner flickering and recalculating randomly when switching tabs or categories.
• Crisp Images: Enhanced thumbnail rendering up to 600px for sharper display on Retina and high-DPI screens.
• Computed State: Fixed side-effects on the filters state rendering logic to prevent unexpected UI behaviors.

🛠 Open Source Ready

• Added CONTRIBUTING.md guide for newcomers.
• Set up GitHub Issue templates for Bug Reports and Feature Requests.
• Updated CHANGELOG.md following the Keep a Changelog format.
• Cleaned up tracking of build and staging folders in .gitignore.

What's New

• Full Bilingual Support: Added dynamic English and Spanish language options. The app now defaults to English to reach a wider audience!
