Froststrap v2.0.3 - What's new?

Added

  • macOS "About" menu for app doesn't pull up the Avalonia template, but now our About window
  • Linux now trusts your Window frame, so there is no awkward titlebar drawing

Fixed

  • GBS Editor locale issue where it would try to turn a String into a Double (issue [#211]) and fail on , based decimal system languages- e.g tries to .ParseInt() on value 2,53
  • Clicking on About in Settings reinitialises with no lock mechanism causing it to keep creating new windows
  • FINALLY- the updater isn't as bad since the rewrite, we have switched to a prerolled solution called Velopack
  • Works on Windows, macOS and Linux AppImages
  • exe installer on Windows has been replaced in favour of msi installer (exe installer kept for backwards compatibility purposes only, use the msi installer)
  • pre release auto updating should work now
  • shows release notes on app update (hopefully)

Codebase

  • Build system now has --no-installers for manual package management, like on AUR
  • virtualdisplay rewritten from Swift into Rust
  • other crates compile most deps so that new speed is pretty much ~1s
  • makes the idea of "backend" code all now under the one common programming language
  • simplifies CI - making the weird discrepancies where CPU spikes make build go from 8s to 2m go away
  • rbackend architecture has changed so it's not going to be 1 big library, so what was rbackend is now notify
  • notify uses rustbus, as a DBus implemenation rather than zbus
  • Linux compile time is now ~5x faster
  • notify no longer depends on objc2-foundation along with other mini-crates
  • macOS compile time is ~4x faster
  • All versioning is managed via the build system is now so to create a release it's literally creating the vX.X.X tag
  • macOS app optimised, extracting our libs from the binary and storing in the manifest ./Contents/Frameworks/*.dylib
  • refactor ThumbnailRequest's property Size to instead use an enum
