[4.0] — 2026-07-23

Unified release. RAPIID and RAPIIDlite are now a single application under the
name RAPIID.

Changed

  • Renamed the application from RAPIIDlite to RAPIID. The two applications
    had merged into one, and the "lite" qualifier no longer described a real
    distinction. This release is the direct continuation of RAPIIDlite v3.2 —
    no functionality has been removed.
  • Renamed the repository from aharmer/RAPIIDlite to aharmer/RAPIID. The
    previous URL redirects to the new one.
  • Renamed source files, GUI modules, icons, and the workflow document to drop
    the lite qualifier (rapiid_lite.py → rapiid.py,
    rapiidlite_GUI.* → rapiid_GUI.*, RAPIIDlite_icon.* → RAPIID_icon.*).
  • Updated the installer: application name, install directory, Start Menu and
    desktop shortcuts, and output filename now use the RAPIID name. The Inno
    Setup AppId is unchanged, so existing installations upgrade in place
    rather than installing alongside the old version.
  • Updated the Windows AppUserModelID to ManaakiWhenua.RAPIID.4.
  • Images captured with this version are tagged RAPIID in their EXIF Make
    and Software fields, and in the capture_device CSV column. Images
    captured with earlier versions retain their original RAPIIDlite tags.
  • Replaced the pyuic5.exe launcher in the GUI rebuild helper with
    python -m PyQt5.uic.pyuic and relative paths. The .exe launcher embeds
    an absolute interpreter path at install time and breaks if the environment
    is renamed.

Fixed

  • Documented the qt-material version ceiling in environment.yml. Release
    2.14.2 dropped PyQt5 support, and newer versions fail silently: the material
    theme's icons and fonts never load, and the app logs
    "qt_material must be imported after PySide or PyQt!". The pin at 2.12 was
    already correct; the constraint is now stated so it is not upgraded past it.

Upgrading

Existing installations upgrade in place. Desktop and Start Menu shortcuts are
recreated under the new name; you may want to remove stale pinned taskbar
shortcuts, which point at the old executable name.
