What's new

This release focuses on making Ventus feel faster and less annoying during the stuff you do every day: updating the app, switching tabs, keeping background tabs around, and managing workspaces.

Update flow feels much better

  • Ventus now keeps the UI open while the update handoff is being prepared.
  • After the current app process shuts down cleanly, the updater relaunches Ventus with the saved session.
  • Update installs now wait for the app and WebView2 profile to release before reopening, which should reduce weird startup timing issues.
  • The update flow should feel closer to an instant relaunch instead of making you manually open the app again.

Sleeping tabs keep more state

  • Background tabs now use WebView2 low-memory and suspend behavior instead of being discarded too aggressively.
  • When you return to a sleeping tab, Ventus resumes the same WebView instead of reloading the page whenever possible.
  • This should help keep scroll position, form state, logged-in pages, and interactive page state alive.
  • Tabs only get fully unloaded under stronger pressure, like very low free memory or too many preserved WebViews.

Cleaner update modal

  • Rebuilt the update progress modal to be more compact and cleaner.
  • Removed the duplicate percentage text, so progress only shows once.
  • Switched the modal to a solid background so it still looks good without blur.
  • Simplified the layout with less container noise and a cleaner icon treatment.

Navigation polish

  • Added Ctrl+Tab for next tab.
  • Added Ctrl+Shift+Tab for previous tab.
  • Tab switching now works more consistently from content pages too.
  • Improved how active tabs are restored when switching back from a suspended state.

Workspace UI polish

  • Refined the workspace switcher and compact workspace controls.
  • Workspace hover actions now feel cleaner and more direct.
  • The workspace UI should feel tighter without taking up extra space.

Privacy and permission behavior

  • Blocked browser APIs now look more like native browser functions from the page side.
  • This helps strict permission blocking behave more naturally on websites that inspect function shapes.
