What's Changed since last release

feat: add basic Handoff support by @johnste in #404

Full Changelog: v4.0.0-beta.3...v4.0.0

v4.0.0-beta.3

Small release, should be the last before stable 4.

What's Changed

• feat: detect if app is being run in the foreground or not by @johnste in #403

Full Changelog: v4.0.0-beta.2...v4.0.0-beta.3

v4.0.0-beta.2

Small release to fix a bug causing the configuration window sometimes hanging.

What's Changed

• fix: avoid sending duplicate log entries by @johnste in #400

Full Changelog: v4.0.0-beta.1...v4.0.0-beta.2

v4.0.0-beta.1

This release adds a new utility function finicky.isAppRunning(identifier). It also improves message buffering to make sure the window ui has access to all the information it needs. We're also moving update checking logic to a separate API which avoids rate limiting issues and reduces the complexity of the app.

No more features are currently planned for the v4 release, so unless we find significant issues in this release the stable release should be next. I'll be working on making sure documentation is up to date for new, and returning users of previous versions.

What's Changed

• Simplifies update checking by using a dedicated API
• Reworks how messages are buffered to populate window interface
• Fix link to Configuration wiki in README by @luser in #390
• build(deps-dev): bump vite from 6.2.4 to 6.2.5 in /packages/config-api by @dependabot in #391
• feat: add isAppRunning() by @johnste in #392

Full Changelog: v4.0.0-alpha.5...v4.0.0-beta.1

v4.0.0-alpha.5

Realized there's still some way to get Finicky feature complete. This release contains a rebuild of the window ui. It's a large change, so this release is probably a bit more unstable than the last one.

There will probably be at least one more alpha release before heading to beta, as I want to add support for checking for running apps, and I'm assuming there are at least a couple of bugs in the new UI.
