v0.3.0

[acebmxer]

0.3.0

New

• The app can add a desktop icon, a taskbar icon (KDE, GNOME) and an app menu entry. It offers them on first launch; Settings → Shortcuts turns each on or off.
• The administrator password is asked once, when the app starts, instead of at every run.
• Runs look and behave like a terminal window: colours, progress bars, and an answer box only while a question is waiting.
• While "Answer yes to installer questions" is on, the main window says so.
• Bundles linux_util v1.10.0.

Security

• Updates are installed only from releases signed with this project's key.
• The administrator password is given only to the app's own runs.

Fixed

• A run no longer hangs when the password is first asked for during the run (Fedora on WSL).
• Installers that ask a question on the terminal, such as NVIDIA Drivers on Fedora, no longer fail.
• Single-key questions get the key you pressed, not the default.
• Hidden answers, such as SMB passwords, are no longer shown or logged.
• Reboot now works with passwordless sudo.
• The app no longer crashes on start under WSL.

Upgrading: use Install update in the app, or install the .deb, .rpm or AppImage from this release. Nothing else is needed. Bundles linux_util v1.10.0
