Release Notes 1.4.5

New Features

  • Native MSI Launch Fix: Rscoop now automatically detects if it was launched in a restricted MSI context (common after fresh installs) and seamlessly relaunches itself with correct permissions and working directory. The "MSI Launch Notice" screen has been removed.
  • Enhanced Manifest Viewer: The manifest viewer now features improved syntax highlighting (Atom One Dark), a copy-to-clipboard button, and a cleaner UI.

Improvements

  • Massive Backend Refactor:
  • Non-blocking Operations: Heavy tasks like searching, status checks, and updates now run in non-blocking threads, keeping the UI responsive even during intensive operations.
  • Modular Architecture: Scheduler logic moved to a dedicated module; cleaner separation of concerns across commands.
  • Robust Junction Handling: The linker now uses multiple strategies (std fs, cmd, PowerShell) to reliably remove and create junctions, fixing issues with version switching.
  • State Management: Package info modals now automatically update their state after operations (install/uninstall/update) without needing to close and reopen.
  • Performance: Optimized file system scanning and modification time checks.
  • Packages without Buckets: Packages without buckets display normally and warn the User the bucket is missing
  • Moved View Manifest Button: Moved to the Modal itself for ease of access for power-users
  • Slight theming and consistency Improvements: To unify it better text and colors have been slightly adjusted

Bug Fixes

  • Versioned Installs: Fixed issues where install.json was missing or unreadable for versioned package installs.
  • Bucket Manifests: Improved logic for locating and counting manifests within buckets, supporting both flat and nested structures.
  • Auto-Cleanup: Ensure auto-cleanup is reliably triggered after uninstalling packages or clearing cache.
  • Search: Fixed JSON parsing for bin fields in manifests to correctly identify binary matches.

Next Version

  • Light Mode: Next version will include a light theme
  • Accent Colors: Selectable accent colors
