Changelog

This update prioritizes stability and security. The outdated Vue CLI has been replaced with Vite for builds and tests, leading to faster and more modern build process. Issues like desktop crashes due to ESM, searching/filtering problems, and Windows update revert issues have been resolved. Desktop application security has been improved against malicious code injection and prototype pollution by narrowing and isolating system access. A comprehensive test suite has been introduced to verify the functionality of packaged desktop applications with screenshots, heuristic checks on window titles, and log verification. Additionally, other automated tests and a new self-sanity checking feature for detecting failing fast on runtime errors have been implemented.

Changelog

    On UI:

    Migration to Vue 3 ? The client has been migrated to Vue 3.0. This improves performance and removes a liability that has been preventing the addition of new features.
    Enhanced performance ? The UI now responds faster in general, especially to search queries.

    On Windows:

    Better security posture ?The patch ensures that system file permissions remain untouched, maintaining the original security posture of the operating system.
    Better file and directory deletion ? Deleting or soft-deleting files/folders and folder contents are improved. The new approach prioritizes keeping folders to minimize disruptions to the system's stability.
    Better handling of Store apps ? Removal of Store apps, such as Edge is improved to prevent reinstall during Windows updates, total uninstall of system apps to preserve system integrity and more robust and reliable way to revert uninstallation of apps.

    Configuration File Stability: We've addressed a critical issue that occasionally led to the corruption of configuration files. This fix ensures more reliable and stable performance of the application settings.
    Multiple Hosts Files: This issue occurred under specific circumstances when multiple hosts files were used simultaneously, resulting in some hosts rules not being applied. This fix ensures all your hosts rules are reliably enforced.
    Linux Shutdown Fix: Previously, when the Zen window was closed, the system proxy settings weren't being reset correctly. The update guarantees that closing Zen no longer affects proxy settings unpredictably for users on Linux.
    General Improvements: Alongside these fixes, we've made several minor enhancements. These include small performance optimizations for a smoother user experience and refined error messages for better clarity and troubleshooting.
