🚀 EgonTE 1.14 Part 1 Update:
The "Stability & Modernization" Patch

Note

This update focuses on the engine under the hood. While the interface looks familiar, the application is now significantly more robust, crash-resistant, and ready for future development.

🚀 What's New

🛠️ Bulletproof Settings

We've completely re-engineered how EgonTE saves and loads your preferences.

  • What changed? A dedicated "Configuration Service" now handles all settings.
  • Why it matters: No more lost settings or corrupted files crashing the app on startup. Preferences like Night Mode, Transparency, and Auto-Save now persist reliably.

🐍 Python 3.13 Ready & Startup Stability

We've modernized the codebase to run smoothly on the latest Python versions.

  • Audio Support: Integrated audioop-lts to restore Speech-to-Text and Audio Player functionality on Python 3.13.
  • Startup Fixes: Solved critical crashes related to asset paths, library checks, and uninitialized theme settings.

🎨 UI Modernization: Rich Tooltips

  • New Engine: We replaced both the legacy tkinter.tix and the external tktooltip dependency with a brand new, custom-built tooltip engine.
  • Premium Feel: Modern dark theme (Charcoal/White), Segoe UI font, smooth fade-in animations, and smart cursor following.
  • Reliability: Fixed regressions where tooltips wouldn't show; they are now native and crash-free.

🐛 Bug Fixes & Polishes

Component Status Description
Startup ✅ Fixed Resolved crashes caused by missing Levenshtein, asset paths, or theme settings.
Tooltips ✅ Fixed Replaced tkinter.tix/tktooltip with native custom engine.
Weather App ✅ Fixed Reconnected broken internal links; the pop-up launches correctly.
Virtual Keyboard ✅ Fixed Fixed import errors preventing the on-screen keyboard from appearing.
Fast Autocomplete ✅ Fixed Patched the backend engine to prevent crashes during typing.
Night Mode ✅ Fixed Patched a crash if "Night Mode Palette" setting was missing.
Keyboard Helper ✅ Fixed Fixed NameError in emoji/language detection.

🔧 Under the Hood (Technical Details)

For the developers and curious minds:

  • Dependency Audit: Cleaned up requirements.txt. Removed bloat (e.g., ctypes, json) and added missing runtimes (tkhtmlview, docxtpl, audioop-lts).
  • Refactoring: Extracted monolithic logic from EgonTE.py into modular services (services/config_service.py).
  • Testing: Added a new test suite with pytest for configuration logic.
  • Auto-CWD: EgonTE.py now automatically sets its working directory, resolving "file not found" errors for assets.
