Changelog:

  • Work around layout glitches in Qt5.2 and 5.3.
  • New icon.
  • A lot more help text for new users.
  • Rearranged extract tab.
  • Title made smaller / more compact.
  • A new 'Device' screen to show all information about your device.
  • A 'Refurbished Date' feature which allows you to set and clear refurb dates on devices.
  • Switch to install tab by default.
  • Fix a crash that happened in the backup tab when the user did not have a BBID set. Prevent backups or restores without a BBID.
  • Hide Boot tab. The feature still works in the background on login screen for supported OSes.
  • Rewritten scanner. Much more versatile. Allows multiple 'on stop' modes as well as spectrum scanning of servers. It also stores a history which is not yet exposed.
  • Use shortened URLs for links which makes it both easier to code for me and easier to read for the user.
  • Removed SDK search. Only useful for minutes before official release anyway.
  • Removed AppWorld tab. Still in git history if it becomes useful. Without being able to share the known exploits in this feature, the opensource version was fairly limited.
  • Remove server setting as it is redundant. All possible servers are automatically scanned.
  • Improved filenames of extracted apps to be as they are when downloading from server.
  • Added real timestamps to extracted app zips.
  • Fixed permissions of files inside app zips so Linux users no longer get permission error.
  • Fix a bug in install progress that would show 0% on device despite working.
  • Fix a bug with the 'overall' install progress where it was always behind one update.
  • Fix an issue with the naming of apps that were being installed.
  • Enable skipping of files that are already installed by default when performing an install.
  • Add an 'allow downgrades' feature to prevent skipping of already installed apps.
  • Automatically detect and uncheck apps that are already installed for search results.
  • Remove the betazone scanning feature as it has now been locked.
  • Re-enable support for installing redbend patches (Deltas).
  • Automatically check free space on device and notify the user when an upgrade will not be possible.
  • Increase read size for some operations (such as extracting) which should improve performance.
