3.4.2 - Linux, Windows, & MacOS - 24th Release

• Updated Electron from 25 > 28.2.7 (Fun fact: The bug that I reported to Electron, and told you guys about last release that was the reason I was staying on 25.x, actually got attention and was fixed! > electron/electron#41541 you can even see it in the release notes > https://releases.electronjs.org/release/v28.2.7 I think it's cool that a bug report of mine was actually seen by the Electron team and led to a fix for 28.x, 29.x, and 30.x that impacts everyone.) Thus, Quark Player will be using 28.x going forward.
• Updated electron-store and electron-log
• Corrected typo on the Help window (Shorcuts > Shortcuts)
• Again reminder that people on Windows 7/8/8.1 and older Linux can use Quark Player Win7, which will be tracking updates in this repo, but just with staying on Node16/Electron 22, versus Node 18/Electron 28. Note that I will not be making MacOS builds in that repo, and Electron 26+ drops support for MacOS 10.13/10.14. SO, if you are using MacOS older than 10.15, you will be out of luck. For help, 3.3.4 is the last Quark Player version for those MacOS versions.

3.4.1 - Linux, Windows, & MacOS - 23rd Release

• Updated to Electron 25 (25.9.8). I didn't update it to 28 due to a bug and to still support MacOS 10.13/10.14
• Secondary windows (like the about window, shortcuts window, etc.), now appear centered on the screen with the main window (if you have multiple monitors).
• Added "Open config.json" item to the Developer menu
• Added "Report an Issue" item to the About menu
• Note, skipped 3.4.0 release

NOTE: Instead of deprecating old OS support, I made a new repo where Win7/8/8.1, etc. builds can be found > https://github.com/Alex313031/quark-player-win7 . These will be identical to this repo, except with JXL support and still based on Electron 22 (22.3.27).

3.3.5 - Windows 7/8/8.1 & Ubuntu 16.04/Debian 8 - 22nd Release

• Final sunset release for old OSes
• Linted a few things
• Added command line usage printout when using --help | -h flags
• Added more stuff to the help window menubar, fixed transparency in the help window, and added MacOS subsection

3.3.4 - MacOS, Linux & Windows - 21st Release

• Fixed MacOS logging
• Updated adblocker
• Fixed HBO Max not playing
• Added JioCinema and SiriusXM as services
• Changing the menubar visibility setting no longer requires a restart
• Linted preload script
• About Version window on MacOS keybinding doesn't conflict with other platforms anymore
• NOTE: This is the last version of Quark Player for Windows 7/8/8.1, Ubuntu 16.04/Debian8, and MacOS 10.13/10.14 ! The next version will be built on Electron 28.x.x to support newer MacOS, Arch Linux, and Gentoo.

3.3.3 - MacOS, Linux & Windows - 20th Release

Big Update!

• Upgraded electron-log to 5.1.1
• Corrected iconset for Linux & MacOS, and added a nice sidebar logo to the Windows installers.
• Added .rpm packages for Linux
• FIXED frameless mode. There is now a nice little "grab handle" bar to move the window around, and an "X" that hovers over any content in the window, in the upper left-hand corner, to exit frameless mode. This was present in ElectronPlayer, but has been broken in Quark Player until now, because of new content security restrictions in Electron >=13.
• Added Arte.tv, HDFull TV, and Playdede as services
• Enabled AdBlock and "Save Window Details" by default. Will only affect new installations.
• Set minimum window size so you don't accidentally make it too small to handle
• Added a --service commandline flag, which you can use to open it to any URL you like. Syntax is like quark-player --service https://www.example.com
• Linted for Type errors
• MacOS now shows proper About window
• MacOS now doesn't open a new window each time you click the launcher
• Note: Skipped 3.3.2 release.

3.3.1 - MacOS, Linux & Windows - 19th Release

• FINALLY MADE ANOTHER MACOS BUILD Thanks to @j03ll0b0 for providing his Mac
• Updated electron-log to 5.1.0
• Updated cliqz adblocker to 1.26.15
• Added the ability to hide the menubar unless "Alt" is pressed
• Added "Open Service" to the services menu, so that you can open a service without having to add it to the list of default services and restarting the app
• Added more icon sizes
• Note, skipped 3.3.0 release

3.2.9 - Linux & Windows - 18th Release

• Updated node-fetch to 2.6.13 and Cliqz Adblocker to 1.26.7
• added three New Services:

Sling
Roku TV
Xomu Play

• Re-Organized the "View" menu to more closely match Electron's defaults
• Added new "Window" menu (and moved the "Go Back", "Go Forward", and "Close Window" menu items to this)
• Added a full proper installer with options (not "oneclick" anymore)
• Added "Open Log File" and "Open User Data Dir" to developer menu (will make development and addressing bugs easier, and easier for me if I have to tell users to fetch the log file),
• Unified CSS, and made CSS of the About window and Keyboard Shortcuts window respect your Light/Dark Mode setting.
• Alphabetized all Services in the menu. (I did this by just alphabetizing the entries in default-services.js, but would prefer to use something like array.sort(). If someone wants to help, let me know and/or file a PR.)
• When enabling/disabling services, app will now auto-relaunch instead of prompting each time

IMPORTANT!: Due to a mismatch in the adblock cache file of the new adblock package, you MUST execute the following commands to remove the old cache or else you will get a blank window. This is out of my hands and a bug has been filed already with cliqz.

Windows:
Open a cmd.exe prompt and

del "%appdata%\Quark Player\adblock-engine-cache.txt"

Linux:
Open a terminal and

rm ~/.config/Quark\ Player/adblock-engine-cache.txt

MacOS:
Open a terminal and

rm ~/Library/Application Support/Quark\ Player/adblock-engine-cache.txt
