Release TouchDesigner-Linux v1.5 · ismail-bahloul/TouchDesigner-Linux

What's new

pip wrapper -- td-install --pip install <package> wraps wine64 python.exe -m pip install with proper Wine environment setup (torch KMP_AFFINITY fix included)
Native external editor -- Ctrl+E opens Text DATs in the user's default Linux editor via xdg-open instead of the Windows editor
Auto-detect LogPixels DPI -- reads Xft.dpi from the display server on first launch and applies the correct LogPixels value (96/120/144/192). Override with TD_DPI=96 touchdesigner. No more hardcoded 120 DPI
License preservation -- backs up ProgramData/Derivative/ before wineboot and restores it after. Also preserved during install/reinstall when commonappdata/ is copied over ProgramData. No more lost licenses
AUR PKGBUILD -- complete Arch Linux package with proper desktop entries, file associations, MIME types, icons, and post-install hooks
AUR launcher -- Python launcher replacing the bash heredoc wrapper, with full .toe patching support and drive symlink handling
System install path -- td-install now finds td_lib from /usr/share/touchdesigner-linux/ when installed as a system package (AUR)

wineboot runs only on first launch (tracked by .td_initialized flag)
dosdevices symlinks (c:, z:) are properly created instead of crashing on fresh prefix
.toe patching handles timeouts without leaving corrupted state
Backup directory auto-cleanup for backups older than 30 days
Interactive menu uses raw terminal mode for reliable arrow key navigation
Non-interactive mode auto-detects headless/SSH sessions
Diagnose command checks AUR install paths for installed TouchDesigner versions
