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.

What is new in 1.4.0

A game folder copied into the library never had Steam run the game
install script, so a Wine prefix created for it can lack a runtime the
game links against. Terraria stops with an assembly it cannot load even
though its own folder ships the installer that provides it. Vanta now
reads the failed launch output and offers to run what the folder ships.

Missing runtimes

  • Reads the output of a failed launch for the signature of a missing runtime; XNA and the .NET Framework are covered.
  • Offers the installers the game itself ships: the one the output points at comes first and is marked, and any other runtime the folder ships an installer for follows.
  • Runs them in the game prefix with the runner the game already uses, so they land where the game looks for them.
  • Detection is a signature match, not a diagnosis: Vanta never downloads a prerequisite and never claims the game will work afterwards.

Library

  • The scroll position is kept when the library is refreshed without its order changing, so editing a game no longer jumps the list back to the top.

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.
