Vanta 1.0.1 — a Linux game launcher for the games you already own.

What's Changed

  • Runner uninstallation & management:

    • Added support for uninstalling Wine (System and Portable) and GE-Proton releases with explicit user confirmation.
    • GE-Proton version picker: choose which specific version(s) in Steam's compatibility tools to delete.
    • Dynamic button switching between Download and Uninstall based on detected runner presence.

  • External library porting:

    • Added "Port external libraries…" to scan and import games installed through Lutris and Heroic Games Launcher.
    • Automatically discovers existing local covers and banners from Lutris (coverart/, banners/) and Heroic (icons/), applying them immediately without unnecessary network requests.
    • Excluded Steam and Bottles to prevent library clutter.
    • Built-in duplicate detection marks games already present in your library.

  • Cover art & network queue:

    • Implemented a sequential request queue in CoverFetcher with rate-limit pacing, ensuring batch cover fetches no longer fail or reject lookups with "already running".
    • Added a "Fetch missing covers" option in the main menu to batch-download covers for existing games anytime.

  • Performance & UI fixes:

    • Fixed an issue where rapid library updates caused sidebar items and headers to duplicate and paint over each other.
    • Debounced library view refreshes during multi-game background scans to prevent freezing, event loop lag, and excessive disk writes.
    • Added --version / -v CLI flags to print the version string directly in terminal.
    • Updated README installation guidance pointing directly to GitHub Releases.

Built against Qt 6.2 and glibc 2.35, so the packages run on any
distribution that ships Qt 6.2 or newer. Packages are unsigned; check
SHA256SUMS before installing.

Vanta never downloads games. OnlineFix detection reports what it finds
and never claims a fix works; see ONLINEFIX.md.

Verify

sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing

Packages are unsigned. Every binary in them needs only Qt 6.2 and glibc 2.35,
so one package runs across a whole distribution family rather than a single
release.
