Release Notes - v1.1.0 (PR #2)

Overview

This release introduces significant UI/UX enhancements, new utility features like audio ducking, and improved data persistence. We've overhauled the window design, componentized the navigation, and added deep integration for application settings and backend synchronization.

🚀 Features & Enhancements

1. Modern Window Design & UI Overhaul

Significant improvements to the application's look and feel.

  • Frameless Window: Switched to a frameless, rounded window design for a more integrated OS experience.
  • Custom Title Bar: Implemented a bespoke TitleBar component for window controls and branding.
  • Concave Navigation Bar: A new, visually striking SVG-based bottom navigation bar with fluid animations.
  • Scrollbar Hiding: Global styling to hide scrollbars for a cleaner, app-like appearance.
  • Network Status Animation: Improved the network status indicator with framer-motion animations.

2. Intelligent Audio Management

Enhanced the audio experience for alarms.

  • Audio Ducking: Automatically reduces the volume of other system/app audio when an alarm rings and restores it once stopped.
  • SoundPicker Component: A new dedicated UI component for selecting alarm sounds with better organization.
  • Asset Refactoring: Expanded and reorganized the built-in alarm sound collection.

3. Persistent Application Settings

Centralized and persistent configuration.

  • SQLite Settings Storage: App settings are now stored in the SQLite database for reliability.
  • IPC Communication: Updated IPC handlers to handle settings fetching and updates seamlessly.
  • Global Configuration: Support for persistent UI and behavioral settings.

4. Stopwatch Enhancements

Added precision and visibility to the stopwatch.

  • Lap Tracking: Detailed lap time recording with beautiful animations.
  • Stopwatch UI Refinement: Improved layout and readability of the stopwatch interface.

5. Backend Synchronization & Architectural Cleanup

Solidifying the core infrastructure.

  • Sync Refactoring: Re-engineered the backend synchronization logic for better reliability and performance.
  • Component Refactoring: Optimized the Timer components and WorldClock styling.
  • Dependency Updates: Updated react-router-dom and added react-router for improved routing handling.

🛠 Refactoring & Improvements

1. Layout & Styling

  • Layout Structure: Unified the layout structure to support the new frameless design and title bar.
  • Navbar Animations: Smooth transitions between pages using the new concave nav design.
  • World Clock Styling: Refined the timezone list and clock displays for better consistency.

2. Core Logic

  • useTimer Hook: Updated the timer logic to support more robust state management and asset loading.
  • Sound Asset Management: Renamed and organized sound files for better maintainability.

📦 Technical Stack Changes

  • Dependencies:
    • Updated react-router-dom to latest.
    • Added react-router.
  • Styling: Increased usage of framer-motion for complex UI transitions.

🏗 Architecture Highlights

  • SQLite Schema Extension: Added a settings table to persist application state.
  • Preload Script Updates: Expanded the context bridge to expose new settings and audio control methods.

⚠️ Breaking Changes
