beta-v2.2.1

CForge Release beta-v2.2.1

Bug Fixes & Stability

CForge beta-v2.2.1 is a patch release focused on fixing critical bugs in the build pipeline, Windows compatibility, and the self-update mechanism.

---

Bug Fixes

Compiler Warning in Package Command

• Replaced strncpy with snprintf in command_package.cpp to eliminate deprecation warning

CI Pipeline Timeout on Windows

• Increased CMake build timeout from 60 seconds to 600 seconds (10 minutes) in command_build.cpp
• Prevents Windows CI builds from timing out on larger projects

"Permission denied" Error in Windows CI

• Added --no-build flag to packaging step in release.yaml
• Prevents cforge from trying to rebuild itself while running

Install Script Version Parsing

• Updated install.ps1 to handle CMake versions with suffixes like -rc1, -alpha
• Uses regex extraction with try/catch fallback for robust parsing

CMake Warnings Treated as Errors

• Modified install.ps1 to temporarily set $ErrorActionPreference = "Continue" during CMake operations
• Stderr warnings no longer cause script failure

Windows min/max Macro Conflict

• Added #define NOMINMAX in command_watch.cpp
• Prevents Windows macros from conflicting with std::filesystem::file_time_type::min()

cforge update Command

• Rewrote self-update logic to actually clone, build, and install the new binary
• Previously only cloned the repository without completing the update

Windows File Locking During Update

• Added proper error handling for backup file removal
• Handles read-only git files when cleaning up temp directories

---

Improvements

Consistent Install Paths

• Both install.ps1 and cforge update now install to the same directory structure:

  <prefix>/installed/cforge/bin/cforge.exe
  

Public PATH Update API

• Exposed update_path_env functionality in installer.hpp
• Now available for use by the update command and external tooling

Note: All existing workflows remain compatible.
