v0.1.1 pre-alpha

Version Variable

Version variable was previously bugged (showed as "unknown") — now fixed.
A current_version key is now stored and managed in data.json.
The application's title bar now shows the version (e.g., GitHub Repo Installer - v0.1-pre-alpha).
Version is also logged to log.log and shown in the live log display on startup.

Developer Console (formerly Interactive Shell)

The menu item "Open Python Interactive Shell" has been renamed to "Open Developer Console".
Clicking it opens a new window displaying live logging output in real-time.
This provides easier debugging transparency (Note: not a full Python REPL, just live log feed).

File Viewer Windows with Clear Option

All "Handle Files" menu items (data.json, log.log, his.log, dow.log, crash.log) now open a dedicated window displaying their contents.
For log.log, his.log, dow.log, and crash.log, a "Clear Log" button has been added.
This truncates the file and clears the window display.

v0.1 pre-alpha

Major features currently being developed

Installer function

Allows user to paste a GitHub repository link, fetches the latest release or commit, and downloads the contents automatically.

Install/downloading functions

These functions are still being tested — the actual installer logic is under review and might change as development continues.

Log and JSON file handling

Users will be able to view and clear logs and JSON files generated by the installer.

Installer resource folder relocation

Resource folder for the installer is being moved for easier access and future update integration.

Installer updater

A one-click updater for the installer app. The app will check for a newer version and notify the user if one exists.

Minor features

Open an interactive Python shell for advanced users who want to view live logs as they happen across different files.
