MeetingBar 5.0.0 β€” Release Candidate 2

⚠️ Pre-release (build 171). This is the second release candidate for 5.0.
If you depend on MeetingBar day to day, wait for the final 5.0.0 β€” but if you
can help test, bug reports are hugely appreciated. πŸ™

About 5.0

A major refresh, inside and out: redesigned onboarding, preferences, and menu;
clearer meeting controls and calendar-provider status at a glance; an improved
day timeline; and new meeting-opening options (Proton Meet, Zoom Web App,
Google Meet PWA, Workplace native app). Your existing meeting-opening defaults
stay unchanged.

Changes since RC-1 (v5.0.0)

Meeting links

  • Detect Zhumu meeting links (#939) β€” thanks @jamtur01
  • Fix an infinite loop in Outlook SafeLinks cleanup (#936) β€” thanks @jamtur01
  • The regex editor now shows the regex you're actually editing (#937) β€” thanks @jamtur01

Google Meet

  • Prefer your signed-in account's email over the calendar email when picking the
    authuser, so Meet links open in the right account

  • Unify the "show meeting title" visibility setting
  • Remove the status-bar compact-title icon fallback

Onboarding & UI

  • Fix onboarding window presentation
  • New 2025 Microsoft Teams icon (#876) β€” thanks @vakesz
  • Gate the fullscreen-notification preview behind DEBUG (#943) β€” thanks @WGlegola

Under the hood

  • Hardened end-to-end test coverage
  • Updated translations via Weblate (#924)
  • CI and dependency bumps (#932, #940)

What to test

Onboarding flow, meeting-link detection (Zhumu, Outlook SafeLinks, Google Meet
account selection), the day timeline, and the redesigned preferences.
