Announcements:

• Sucrose has been upgraded to .NET 9, bringing the latest performance improvements, security updates, and modern framework features to enhance your desktop experience.
• The Bundle (Setup) project now uses .NET Framework 4.8 to ensure maximum backward compatibility and reliability. This framework is pre-installed on most Windows systems, providing a seamless installation experience for all users without requiring additional dependencies.

Enhancements:

• Some bugs have been fixed.
• Added network online/offline status detection.
• Processor monitoring now includes per-core load tracking.
• Added a "Reload Wallpaper" option to the launcher context menu.
• Centralized all HttpClient usage for consistent network request handling.
• Redesigned Library and Store cards with rounded corners and updated visuals.
• Added new monitoring support for logical and physical disk (Storage) activity and I/O.
• Memory monitoring has been refactored to use the native GlobalMemoryStatusEx API.
• Added localization support for theme titles and descriptions in the "Edit Theme" dialog.
• Enhanced global exception handling and error reporting across all application modules.
• Refactored environment setup to support architecture-specific .NET runtimes (x86, arm64).
• Improved the uninstallation process with a new self-deletion mechanism for cleaner removal.
• Added a new "Crash Mode" setting to define wallpaper behavior when explorer.exe crashes or restarts.
• Replaced the internal LocalHttpServer with WatsonWebServer for serving local web content more reliably.
• Refactored the entire hardware monitoring system for processor (CPU), graphics (GPU), memory, and storage.
• Replaced text-based icons (e.g., 'More' button, pagination arrows) with modern SymbolIcon for UI consistency.
• GPU monitoring now utilizes Vortice.DXGI for improved performance and accuracy, replacing the previous method.
• Improved the robustness of inter-process communication (Pipe/Transmission) with connection timeouts, keep-alive, and retry logic.
• The application now automatically attempts to set "High Performance" GPU preference in Windows settings for all Sucrose executables.
• Introduced new solution-level build scripts (.build folder) for automated publishing, .NET runtime installation, and package compression.
• Refactored battery, motherboard, and network data models; disabled battery/motherboard monitoring by default to improve performance.
• Centralized build configuration and package management across the solution by adding Directory.Build.props and Directory.Packages.props.
