Quick Install / Update

Run this command in your terminal to automatically detect your system and install / update the latest version (.deb, .rpm, or AppImage):

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dawiisss/DzLinux/main/install.sh | bash

Added

  • Synchronous Settings Loader: Added and exported a synchronous loadSettings() helper in settings.js specifically for early startup flag initialization prior to app.whenReady().
  • Async Steam Path Unit Tests: Added dedicated unit test coverage for getSteamInstallPathAsync() and findDayzWorkshopFolderAsync() in steamPaths.test.js.
  • Workshop URL Opener Unit Tests: Added unit test coverage for openWorkshopPage() verifying URL parameter sanitization and Electron shell opening in game.test.js.
  • Launch Port and Settings Unit Tests: Added unit tests verifying defensive port defaulting in game.test.js and synchronous loadSettings() in settings.test.js.

Changed

  • Proton Launch Process Spawn: Replaced child_process.execFile with spawn using stdio: "ignore" in launchProton.js to avoid maxBuffer memory limits and prevent unexpected process termination during long DayZ gameplay sessions.
  • Dependency Cache Memory Bounds: Capped the Steam Workshop dependency resolver cache at 1,000 entries with bulk eviction to 90% capacity in steamDependencyResolver.js to prevent unbounded memory growth and reduce churn at the boundary.
  • Direct Toast Icon Identifiers: Standardized showToast() calls across serverRow.js and modManager.js to pass clean icon name strings ("star", "download") rather than raw SVG constants or HTML elements.
  • UI Copy Casing Standardization: Converted hardcoded uppercase button and label text (Refresh, Servers:, Players:, Filtered:) in index.html, reset dialog text in settings.js (cannot), and dependency error tags in modManager.js ([Error: ...]).
  • Early Wayland Ozone Bootstrap: Moved Chromium command-line switch configuration (UseOzonePlatform, ozone-platform=wayland) in main.js to execute prior to app.whenReady(), ensuring Chromium activates native Wayland Ozone mode during initial process bootstrap.
  • External URL Opener Standardization: Replaced child_process.execFile("xdg-open") in openWorkshopPage() with Electron's shell.openExternal(url) for robust sandbox/Flatpak compatibility and error propagation.
  • Table Colspan Consistency: Aligned table skeleton loading placeholders and empty-state rows across index.html, serverBrowserRender.js, and favorites.js to colspan="9" to maintain visual alignment with the 9-column Security/Trust layout.
  • Preload API Cleanliness: Removed orphaned onComplete IPC channel and listener references from preload.js.
  • Markdown Heading Anchor Hygiene: Replaced literal ampersands (&) with and in markdown headings across all repository documentation.
  • Sync Filesystem Deprecation Notices: Annotated legacy synchronous filesystem methods getSteamInstallPath() and findDayzWorkshopFolder() in steamPaths.js with JSDoc @deprecated warnings directing callers to async equivalents (Rule 13).
  • Build Utility Import Hygiene: Removed unused _path import from scripts/lib/utils.js.
  • Centralized existsAsync Utility: Consolidated the duplicate existsAsync helper (previously defined locally in steamPaths.js, game.js, and launchProton.js) into the shared fileUtils.js module.
  • Synchronous Settings Loader Documentation: Added JSDoc to loadSettings() in settings.js explicitly documenting it as a startup-only constraint required for pre-ready Chromium command-line switch initialization.
  • Server Pipeline Step Numbering: Fixed step comment numbering gap (4→6) in servers.js fetchDayZServers to be sequential.

Fixed

  • Test Environment Variable Teardown: Wrapped process.env.TEST_VAR test manipulation in prepareEnv.test.js with a try ... finally block to guarantee environment restoration on assertion failures (Rule 8).
  • Early Wayland Settings Load Error: Fixed a startup TypeError: settingsManager.loadSettings is not a function in main.js which caused Wayland flags to fail silently.
  • Game Launch Missing Port Exception: Fixed a potential TypeError in launchDayZ and launchViaSteam when port argument is missing or non-string by safely defaulting to "2302".
  • History Favorite Port Mapping: Fixed a bug where adding a favorite directly from the Connection History view assigned the game port as the A2S query port instead of preserving queryPort.
  • Gitignore Cleanliness: Removed obsolete server-portal/ entry from .gitignore.
  • UI Label Casing: Changed hardcoded uppercase ACTIVE LINK: label in the Steam profile header to title case Active Link:.
  • Mod Manager IPC Error Propagation: Added .catch() handlers with toast error feedback to fire-and-forget IPC calls (openWorkshop, openFolder, subscribe fallback) in modManager.js so failures are surfaced to the user instead of silently swallowed.
