UniScan Client v0.1.0

What's Changed

• feat: cache and use RemoteInfo by @DexrnZacAttack in #21

• Remotes are now stored per file instead of one large file.
• UI has been neatened up.
• The server now sends metadata containing a logo, various information, an MOTD, links, etc.
  • The UI has been updated to display this information too.
  • This information is also cached by the client

UniScan.Client.App.Platform.Android

• Added cache path
• Added UniScanPlatformAttribute to assembly

UniScan.Client.App.Platform.Browser

• Added cache path
• Added UniScanPlatformAttribute to assembly

UniScan.Client.App.Platform.Desktop

• Added cache path
• Added UniScanPlatformAttribute to assembly

UniScan.Client.App

• RemoteInfo is now used

• Added several remote controls:

  • RemoteInfoControl: Displays the remote logo, title, description, and a set of links
  • RemoteLinkControl: Displays the link's logo, title, and url

• RemoteInfoView now shows RemoteInfoControl in addition to a bottom area for an optional MOTD that the server may provide.

• RemoteInfoView is now tabbed, with an Announcements tab for viewing server announcements

• Improved the look of several views:

  • NotConnectedRemotePageView now shows the remote logo and name, and is now centered
  • DisconnectedRemotePageView now shows the remote logo and name, and is now centered
  • The sidebar in MainView has been expanded to properly show remote logos
  • HomePageView now shows a message when not connected to any remotes
  • HomePageView now shows a logo in each remote expander when available

• Improved the look of several controls:

  • DeviceListControl now properly fills its available space with devices
  • SidebarRemoteItemControl now displays a logo next to the name if available

• LoadingViewModel now accepts any TaskPipeline to listen to

• A loading screen is now shown when connecting to a Remote

• Added UniScanPlatformAttribute

  • Fixes Android crashing due to GetEntryAssembly() failing due to JNI

Breaking Changes

• Large restructuring
  • Among the changes, all views and viewmodels were merged into one folder and renamed
• Moved task context stuff to a new Shiki project

UniScan.Client.Core

• Added RemoteCacheDto for caching RemoteInfo

• Added RemoteInfoPacketHandler for handling and setting RemoteInfo

• Created a new remote connection pipeline (RemoteConnectionPipeline)

• Added IRemoteServerMutationProxy for mutating RemoteServer without explicitly allowing mutation in the original class definition

• Added a large storage system (from another project I was working on)

  • Will likely be moved to Shiki in the future along with platform abstractions

Breaking Changes

• Packet registration and remote loading have been moved out of UniScanClient and into our app initialization pipeline
• App initialization task contexts no longer store UniScanClient
• Dissolved most of UniScanClient in favor of a method that adds its services to DI.
  • This means that UniScanClient now doesn't do much; however, it will not be removed incase it needs to store anything that isn't a service.
• Added UniScanClientDependencyInjection.AddUniScanClient
  • This method performs most of the functions of the old UniScanClient's CreateInstanceAsync, but on an existing DI container.
• RemoteDto no longer holds a display name
• Removed RemotesListFile in favor of RemoteStorage which observes a list of Remotes inside IRemoteManager to determine when to save
• IRemoteFactory now requires a GUID in both Create method definitions
• RemoteServer constructors now require a GUID and IClientSocketFactory instance

UniScan.Device

Breaking Changes

• Removed DeviceState.Lock and DeviceState.Attributes
• Removed IScannerEvents.OnStateUpdated
• Scanner.State is now a IReadOnlyBindableReactiveProperty

UniScan.Network.Client

• Added IRemoteConnectionMethod.ToDisplayString()
  • Used primarily to get the display string for a remote that does not have a cached name
• Added IClientSocketFactory and ClientSocketFactory
  • Used to cut down on constructor parameters by providing a singleton passable object that can create a ClientSocket

UniScan.Network.Server

• Added ClientsManager
  • Used to hold a global list of currently connected clients and provide a way to broadcast a packet to each one.
• Added ServerSocket.ClientManager
• Added SubscribableGroup.Contains(IChannel)

UniScan.Network

• Added RemoteAnnouncementAuthor
  • This will be replaced by a list of user ids in the future that refer to registered users once an auth and user system is in place

Breaking Changes

• The protocol version is now 4

• ISocket.SendRequestAsync now accepts a CancellationToken

• RemoteAnnouncement now stores a list of authors

• RemoteLink.Url is now a Uri

• RemoteInfoPacket is no longer a request packet, and is instead sent by the server whenever desired and consumed by the client

• Removed GetRemoteInfoPacket

• SubscribePacket is now a proper MessagePackObject

UniScan.Platform

• Added IPlatformDirectoryManager.DeleteAsync
• Added IPlatformDirectoryManager.EnumerateAsync

Breaking Changes

• Added IPlatformFileSystemManager
  • Used to share method signatures between the file and directory managers
• Removed IPlatformFileManager.ExistsAsync in favor of IPlatformFileSystemManager.ExistsAsync
• Removed IPlatformDirectoryManager.ExistsAsync in favor of IPlatformFileSystemManager.ExistsAsync
• Renamed PlatformDirectoryManager.cs to IPlatformDirectoryManager.cs

UniScan.Platform.Implementations.Native

• Updated implementations according to UniScan.Platform changes

UniScan.Platform.Implementations.Web

• Updated implementations according to UniScan.Platform changes

Breaking Changes

• Moved UniScan.Platform.Implementations.Web.BrowserPaths to UniScan.Client.App.Platform.Browser
• BrowserFileManager.TransferAsync now creates all subfolders leading up to the destination file

UniScan.Server.Core

• HostClientsHandler now listens to Scanner.State as an Observable
• Added some more logging to SubscribePacketHandler
• Added a temporary static RemoteInfo instance in UniScanServer
• The server now sends a DisconnectPacket to all clients on shutdown

Breaking Changes

• ClientSoftwareInfoPacketHandler now sends a RemoteInfoPacket after being accepted
• Removed GetRemoteInfoPacketHandler
• SubscribePacketHandler no longer allows subscribing to the same device twice
• SubscribePacketHandler no longer attempts to send the scanner state when it is null
• UniScanServer._networkGroupManager now uses MultithreadedGroupManager
  • This is hopefully a fix to some weird bug that macOS users were encountering that would cause UniScan to crash.

UniScan.Server.Host

• ScannerMeta.SaveAsync now properly disposes of the filestream
• Now prints when exiting

Fixes #12
Fixes #25
