The installer script now exits on any error, preventing partial installs and encouraging a fail-fast philosophy. We also ensure the script isn't run with root privileges to avoid potential system-wide side effects. Additionally, event handling has been initialized and messaging updated to give users more precise feedback during the installation process. Furthermore, the git tag retrieval has been expanded to include both current and latest tags, offering more detailed repository information. The installer's visual presentation and branding also received a refresh for improved aesthetics and clarity. In a related update, error messages in libprint.sh have been standardized with the addition of punctuation, promoting consistency and improving readability. These adjustments lead to a more stable and user-friendly installation experience.
