v1.5.34

Summary

License notice and installer compliance clarity.

Notable changes

• Clear MIT scope: README and installer EULA now state that CrossDrive application source is MIT while third-party components keep their own license terms.
• Offline GPL manifest: packaged installers now include the GPL source manifest alongside the GPL source offer and GPL-2.0 license text.
• App legal menu: the Help menu now opens the GPL source manifest directly from the installed resources.

v1.5.33

Summary

Installer hang hotfix for existing WinFsp installs.

Notable changes

• Faster upgrades: the installer now skips the bundled WinFsp MSI when WinFsp is already installed, avoiding the long silent Windows Installer repair/reconfigure step near the end of setup.
• Release guardrail: self-test and release audit now verify the WinFsp skip check stays before the MSI install command.
• GitHub-only updates: keeps the v1.5.32 change where app updates are delivered through GitHub Releases.

v1.5.32

Summary

Assisted updater removal and GitHub Releases update flow.

Notable changes

• GitHub-only updates: removed the app-managed update route, update banner, update modal, and update IPC handlers.
• Settings update link: the app now directs users to GitHub Releases for new versions.
• Release guardrail: self-test and release audit now verify the assisted updater remains removed.

v1.5.31

Summary

APFS Time Machine checkpoint scan fix.

Notable changes

• Full checkpoint data scan: CrossDrive now scans large APFS checkpoint data windows instead of stopping after the first 8,192 blocks.
• Time Machine visibility: this targets Time Machine disks where the object map/volume records live later in the checkpoint data area, causing Volume_410 placeholders with no files.
• Release guardrail: self-test now verifies the APFS checkpoint data scan covers large Time Machine checkpoint windows.

v1.5.30

Summary

APFS Time Machine resolution and taskbar icon fix.

Notable changes

• APFS checkpoint parsing: fixed NX checkpoint field offsets so CrossDrive can scan the APFS checkpoint data area instead of showing empty placeholder volumes.
• Time Machine visibility: this should let the native APFS path resolve the real backup volume/catalog instead of only Volumes and APFS_CONTAINER_INFO.
• Taskbar icon: unsigned builds now stamp CrossDrive.exe with the CrossDrive icon during packaging, so the running app should not show Electron's generic taskbar icon.
• Release guardrails: self-test now verifies APFS checkpoint offsets, APFS root presentation, and unsigned exe icon stamping.

v1.5.29

Summary

APFS native mount root presentation fix.

Notable changes

• Normal Explorer root: APFS mounts now expose the primary user volume at the drive root instead of showing a container wrapper with Volumes and APFS_CONTAINER_INFO.
• Primary volume selection: CrossDrive prefers APFS Data/User volumes and avoids Recovery/Preboot/VM volumes for the root view.
• Release guardrail: self-test now verifies APFS mounts expose the primary user volume at the drive root.

v1.5.28

Summary

APFS native mount free-space fix.

Notable changes

• APFS free-space reporting: read-only APFS mounts now load APFS spaceman metadata for capacity reporting instead of returning 0 bytes free to Explorer.
• Safer fallback: if APFS free-space metadata cannot be read, CrossDrive reports an optimistic capacity hint instead of making the drive look completely full.
• Release guardrail: self-test now verifies APFS read-only mounts do not regress to zero-free-space reporting.

v1.5.27

Summary

Zero-dependency customer runtime release.

Notable changes

• Native runtime by default: CrossDrive now starts in the bundled native mount path instead of requiring WSL2.
• No WSL setup blocker: missing WSL2/Ubuntu is treated as an optional advanced-mode warning and no longer disables Mount buttons.
• Explicit WSL mode only: the WSL kernel path is used only when CROSSDRIVE_MOUNT_MODE=wsl_kernel is set.
• Release guardrails: self-test now verifies the default native runtime, optional WSL handling, and UI mount gating.

v1.5.25

Summary

Desktop icon and assisted updater test release.

Notable changes

• Updater feed: confirms updates are received from gkaragioul/Cross_Drive.
• Assisted install path: keeps the same CrossDriveSetup.exe asset name and release-note checksum format expected by the app.
• Desktop shortcut icon: installer-created shortcuts now point directly at the packaged CrossDrive icon so Windows does not show the generic Electron fallback icon.

v1.5.24

Summary

Startup hotfix and assisted updater test release. This version is intended to replace 1.5.23, which could crash on startup if the packaged native service executable was not found and the app tried to fall back to dotnet.

Notable changes

• Updater feed: confirms updates are received from gkaragioul/Cross_Drive.
• Assisted install path: keeps the same CrossDriveSetup.exe asset name and release-note checksum format expected by the app.
• Startup hotfix: packaged builds no longer fall back to dotnet run for native helpers and no longer crash on native-service spawn errors.
