MossDL v0.1.1
MossDL v0.1.1
- Fix packaged engine lookup and include the engine's required rules and domain data.
- Move desktop engine RPC work off the UI thread and reveal the window after the initial load attempt, including failure states.
- Add an update banner with install, dismiss, and error handling; enable signed GitHub-hosted updates.
- Clear all previous Explore captures on relaunch, including imported captures and batches beyond the previous 500-item limit. Discard nested folder entries recursively.
- Remove optional OCR and secondary browser runtimes from the base package. Retain yt-dlp and the Patchright transport required by Clearcote/Chrome.
- Harden release packaging, signature verification, and installer/uninstaller validation.
Validation: full quality gate passed 20/20 checks with zero failures, including TypeScript and Rust checks/tests. CAPTCHA health regression tests passed. The packaged engine and browser transport start successfully. Windows NSIS install/uninstall was exercised using a separate product identity; installed application/helper files and the uninstall registration were removed. Updater signatures are verified against the release key; modified installer bytes are rejected.
Install this version manually if you are using v0.1.0: that release did not contain the updater configuration. v0.1.1 enables the update banner for future versions. Installers are signed for updater verification, but Windows Authenticode signing is not configured; Windows may show a SmartScreen warning.
