Craft Apps Manager 0.8.0

• Add Multiple installations: select an existing installer or portable copy, target actions at that copy, and add portable copies in separate folders using the existing install dialog.

• Choose a release version in the install dialog for first installs and additional copies; versions selected from the app page are preselected.

• Preserve alternate installation records during uninstall and rediscover older portable copies in the library when migrating existing installations.

• Show What's New highlights on first launch and after a manager version change, with expandable release notes and an info icon beside the version to reopen the dialog.

• Run supported Windows MSI downgrades under one batch administrator approval, with verified recovery packages and individual uninstall, install and recovery activity steps.

• Keep version changes locked to the verified installed format and architecture; preparing a version preview no longer creates installation activity.

• Improve reused-job cancellation, preserve build results during tool setup, retain bounded Unicode activity records and avoid pruning unconfirmed workers.

• Avoid a redundant installation scan when opening apps and preserve sidebar search focus as the clear button appears.

• Add subtle button press feedback, smoother installation details, one-way progress animation, softer light-theme disabled controls and muted sidebar scrollbars in both themes.

• Configure release format and architecture independently for built-in and custom apps, using the selected release’s compatible assets.

• Preserve installed package facts separately from preferences; updates and bulk checks respect each installed app’s format and architecture.

• Expand custom GitHub download matching, add setup review and an ambiguous-download chooser, and improve native installer detection and uninstall support.

• Add centralized operation records, lifecycle validation, cooperative cancellation, parent/child batch results and cross-process builder synchronization.

• Add a compact Activity panel with progress, expandable results, unread notifications, outside-click dismissal and matching light/dark detail surfaces.

• Approve administrator access once for eligible multi-installer batches on Windows and Linux; keep portable execution unelevated and preserve verification boundaries.

• Refresh update availability after a downgrade, using cached release metadata first and retaining results across restarts.

• Preserve existing installations, settings migration, shortcut repairs, build workflows and existing recovery behavior.
