ModelDock V1.0.2

[1.0.2] - 2026-05-16

🚀 Added & Improved

• Dynamic Application Versioning:
  • Configured App.tsx and electron/preload.cjs to dynamically fetch the application version directly from package.json and Electron's runtime environment (window.modelDock.version).
  • Eliminates hardcoded version strings in the UI. When packaged as a new executable (e.g., 1.0.2.exe), the sidebar version indicator (v1.0.2) and the auto-update checker automatically inherit the correct release version.

🚀 Added & Improved

• Automated GitHub Releases Update System:

  • Implemented an auto-update checker that queries the public GitHub Releases API (api.github.com/repos/thebestgoodguy/modeldock/releases/latest) in the background on application startup.
  • Added a dynamic version indicator (v1.0.2) at the bottom of the left navigation sidebar.
  • Integrated a glowing Update button next to the top navigation GitHub icon that appears when a newer version (e.g., 1.0.2) is published.
  • Created a premium, glassmorphism Update Modal (UpdateModal.tsx) that beautifully displays the latest version number, the complete Markdown release notes/changelog, and direct action buttons for downloading the installer or opening the GitHub release page.

• Settings & Directory Management Enhancements:

  • Native Directory Browsing (selectFolder): Added a dedicated Browse button next to both the Download Directory and LM Studio Models input fields. Integrated a robust dual-mode folder picker: uses native Electron dialog.showOpenDialog when packaged, and falls back to a clean PowerShell FolderBrowserDialog via /api/select-folder-fallback when running in a standalone web browser.
  • LM Studio Use/Reset Toggle: Converted the LM Studio Use action into an intuitive toggle button. When clicked, it binds the download path to LM Studio and transforms into a red Reset button. Clicking Reset instantly restores the default download path (C:/Downloads/HF_Models), immediately bringing back the default model list into the UI view and reassuring users that their previously downloaded models remain fully intact on disk.
  • Complete App Data Reset: Fixed an issue where clicking "Reset App Data" did not restore default directory preferences. The backend /api/reset-app-data endpoint now completely clears and re-initializes the SQLite settings table, while the frontend dynamically reloads settings to immediately reflect defaults without requiring an app restart.
