Logos v1.6.1

New Name

Semester Tracker is now Logos.

This update introduces the new app identity, including the new app name, executable name, installer name, update system naming, database naming, and app branding.

Rebrand

Logos App Identity

The app has been renamed throughout the project:

  • Semester Tracker → Logos
  • SemesterTrackerGUI.exe → Logos.exe
  • SemesterTrackerSetup.exe → LogosSetup.exe
  • SemesterTracker-Releases → Logos-Releases
  • semestertracker:// → logos://
  • semester_tracker.db → logos.db

New Icon

Added the new Logos app icon across the app and installer.

The new icon is now used for:

  • App window icon
  • Windows executable icon
  • Installer icon
  • Desktop shortcut icon
  • Start Menu shortcut icon
  • Qt resource icon

Installer and Deployment Updates

Updated the release deployment process for the Logos rebrand.

The deployment script now:

  • Deploys Logos.exe
  • Copies Logos branding assets correctly
  • Includes the Logos icon files in the deployment folder
  • Prepares the correct files for the installer

The installer now uses:

  • Logos as the displayed app name
  • LogosSetup.exe as the setup name
  • Logos.exe as the installed executable
  • The Logos icon for shortcuts and setup branding

Compatibility

Added compatibility support for existing users coming from Semester Tracker.

Logos can migrate or recognize existing local data where applicable, including:

  • Previous Semester Tracker database files
  • Previous credential/session storage
  • Older Semester Tracker user-data export files

This helps existing users keep their data after the rename.

Update System Changes

Updated the updater to use the Logos identity.

The updater now expects release assets named:

  • LogosSetup.exe
  • LogosSetup.exe.sha256

The updater also points to the Logos release naming structure.

Fixes

  • Fixed the app not reopening after silent update installation
  • Fixed automatic update download requiring the user to manually check for updates again
  • Fixed automatic updates so downloaded updates can install directly
  • Fixed deployment script path issues when copying Logos icon assets
  • Fixed missing shortcut icon caused by the icon not being copied into the deployment folder
  • Fixed installer relaunch behavior after setup finishes

Notes for Existing Users

This is the first release under the Logos name.

Because the app executable and installer were renamed, Windows may treat Logos as a new app compared to Semester Tracker. Existing data should still migrate, but users should keep a backup before updating.

Required Release Assets

For the updater to work correctly, the GitHub release must include:

  • LogosSetup.exe
  • LogosSetup.exe.sha256
