v1.7.1.0
e5dc1bb

This is probably the biggest update to date. The app went through a major internal overhaul, nothing user-visible but makes ports to other platforms more easy 👀
On the other hand there are a lot of user-visible changes! some of them were originally planned for 1.6.9 but got cut due to time constraints, essentially I try to stick to a monthly update cadence.

This was supposed to be v1.7.0 but that didn't go as planned 🙃

Updater

Store users would have noticed that the app updates automatically on startup (if enabled system wide), this version changes the entire process allowing sideload users to have the same experience without having to resort to AppInstaller for updates.

Auto update toggle that disables updates on startup.

  • Disabled by default
  • Store users also have access to the same setting but is overridden by the system-wide setting as such it can't be properly enforced so it will disable updates on startup but doesn't prevent the OS from updating the app at any point in time

The old manual update process also has been overhauled and now is handled in-app with support for store installs.

  • Store users can request an update even with the system-wide setting disabled

What does the Manage other apps directly capability? (Sideload only)

Allows access to Windows Package Manager (Not to be confused with winget or any other package manager).
Yes, Windows has a proper package manager but only works with MSIX-based apps.

This allows the app to update itself without resorting to the AppInstaller, brings the same experience store users have to sideload installs.

Does it require admin?

No! Everything is handled at the user level.

Installer (New!)

Brand new installer for sideloading, takes care of installing the certificate and adding the app without user interaction. It can also be used to uninstall the app and certificate. Simply automates the process of installing the certificate and app.

Which file should I use to install the app?

New users should use the .exe based file. Existing users should use the .appinstaller.
