v0.10.0

v0.10.0 brings a faster start, recovery when things go wrong, and a long list of fixes across the clipboard, audio, keyboard, displays and more.

Features

• Start Omarchy right away. Updates now download in the background while you use it, resume after interruptions, use the Windows proxy settings, and install the next time Omarchy starts, or right away with Restart to update in the tray (#307)
• Detect when the Omarchy desktop stops responding, save diagnostics, and offer to restart it, in CPU mode if graphics froze. Your session stays open until you choose (#303, #315)
• Resume cleanly after Windows sleep, or show Resume Omarchy in the tray if it cannot. Restarting or signing out of Windows shuts Omarchy down cleanly first, and the next start offers recovery if that did not finish (#304, #216)
• Keep volume and mute in sync between Omarchy and Windows, including playback device changes. Turn off Sync volume with Windows in Settings to control them separately (#292, #277)
• Night light now warms the VM display from the existing menu and keyboard shortcut (#289)
• Warn when Omarchy's Windows drive is running low or almost full, with guidance for Reclaim and moving the data in Settings (#291)
• CPU rendering mode now really limits the processor features Omarchy sees (#306)
• PowerToys and AutoHotkey can see the Win key while Omarchy runs (#306)
• Follow your Windows display language, plus Dvorak, US-International and Turkish F layouts (#296)

Fixes

• Fix GPU mode freezing on NVIDIA graphics when Media Player opens, and GTK4 apps such as Files crashing (#276, #293)
• Fix notification popups not appearing in Omarchy. They stay hidden while the screen is locked (#298)
• Fix images copied in Windows arriving in Omarchy shifted by a few pixels (#315)
• Fix clipboard sync stalling during large file copies, retry copies made while Windows is busy, and support more image formats (#299)
• Fix file drops when the launcher runs as administrator, explain rejected drops, and bring the tray icon back when Explorer starts late (#301)
• Fix VM windows opening on the wrong monitor or at the wrong size, returning them on screen after a monitor is unplugged (#297)
• Fix Omarchy refusing to start when a saved LAN adapter is missing or a forwarded port is in use. Only the affected forwards pause (#288, #302)
• Keep moved installations working after a drive letter change, and allow finishing an interrupted uninstall safely (#300)
• Fix keys staying held after a dropped connection, AltGr+End sending Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and the two Win keys not working independently (#294)
• Fix the Windows key getting stuck after switching between Windows and Omarchy (#293)
• Fix cameras stopping on format changes, and one unreadable audio device hiding the others (#295)
• Report battery state more reliably, including multiple batteries (#296)
• Apply Resources, Graphics, displays and the shared folder settings when Omarchy restarts, as Settings promises (#293)
• Fix scrolling Settings changing dropdown values (#293)
• Fix Update > Omarchy flashing a configuration error banner while it installs (#305)
• Fix Omarchy updates failing on systems whose first-time setup was interrupted (#317)
• Fix slow first starts after an update being stopped and retried before the runtime finished loading (#314)
• Tighten security: the camera, audio and clipboard bridges accept only Omarchy's own connection, the LAN firewall helper only adds rules for Omarchy, and uninstall refuses folders that are not Try Omarchy data folders (#293, #299)

Dev

• Build runtime r22 from source, with CPU-mode limits and the Windows keyboard hook changes (#306)
• Refresh the guest package lock (#311, #316)
• Add the v0.10.0 changelog and release preparation (#308, #310)
