@github-actions github-actions released this 31 Jul 12:23

Changes

This release significantly refines the launcher, terminal, and settings experience, plus adds auto-update support and full open-source compliance.

Launcher

  • Rebuilt app scanning across macOS / Linux / Windows with faster, more reliable parsing
  • Added config command for managing launch behavior
  • Smarter action bar: URL / path / shell detection; run it directly with Cmd+Enter (macOS) / Ctrl+Enter (others)
  • Pinyin initial matching for Chinese app names (search "nh" matches 你好)
  • CJK IME composition handling so Enter confirms input instead of executing

Terminal

  • Rewrote the PTY session layer for more stable output and better resize handling
  • Theme-driven terminal colors (dark / light / auto) via CSS variables

Settings and UI

  • Settings panel polish: scroll, theme switching, SVG system icons, result padding
  • Windows: disabled DWM rounded corners so CSS owns the corner shape on all platforms

macOS

  • Fixed fullscreen visibility: window now appears above fullscreen apps (NSPopUpMenuWindowLevel)
  • Synchronous NSWindow calls and main-thread dispatch for reliable reveal and activate
  • Fixed IME composition tracking and main-thread shortcut callbacks

Updater and Release

  • Added built-in auto-updater plugin (in-app update notifications)
  • Fully automated multi-platform release workflow (6 targets, no duplicate assets)

Open Source

  • Switched to GPL-3.0 license, added macOS install docs and Node 22 CI
