Change Summary:

  • VHDX Compression: Compress VHDX virtual disk files to reclaim physical disk space, with two strategies available — quick optimization and full rebuild. Automatically cleans system caches before compression, with visual progress indication throughout the process.
  • Sparse VHD Mode: Set VHDX to sparse mode for on-demand disk allocation, so actual disk usage is far smaller than the nominal size. Automatically enabled for new installations based on configuration and preserved when cloning distributions.
  • Colorful Icons: Each function icon now has its own semantic color, making operations like start, stop, terminal, editor, and file manager instantly recognizable. Can be toggled back to a single-color style with one click.
  • Settings Page Redesign: The settings page has been split into three independent tabs — General, Advanced, and Interface — with clear categorization and separate saving. A quick "Stop WSL" action has also been added.
  • Terminal Experience Upgrade: Windows Terminal is now preferred, falling back to the classic command line only when unavailable.
  • Installer: A standardized Windows installation wizard is now available, supporting all languages, with one-click creation of desktop shortcuts, Start Menu entries, and scheduled tasks.
  • About Page Redesign: Redesigned with a scrollable layout, consolidating quick links to the official website, announcements, discussions, and documentation. Copyright and open-source license information has been added.
  • Update Experience Improvements: Update and expiration notifications now include the release date and a direct download link, eliminating the need to manually visit GitHub.
  • Configurable Sidebar Toggle: The sidebar collapse button can now be shown or hidden to suit different usage preferences.
  • Application Architecture Refactoring: The startup process has been modularized, improving code maintainability and launch stability.
  • Unified API Service: Backend APIs have been migrated to a self-hosted service, making update checks and data fetching more stable and controllable.
  • Build & Distribution Improvements: Dual-channel releases (portable and installer) are now available, with expanded distribution via Cloudflare CDN and Gitee mirroring for users in China.
  • Source Code Compliance: SPDX open-source license declarations have been adopted across all source files, achieving REUSE specification compliance.
  • UI/UX Improvements: Unified UI design and interactive experience for all dialogs.
