  • Turnkey/systemd flow (#302): Removed outdated fake-systemd setup behavior and updated the warning logic. πŸš€ Improvements
  • Error text handling: Status and notification messages are more readable (including non-English output).
  • Explorer path handling (#281): Safer path resolution and normalization for distro folders.
  • Installer upgrades: Migrated to a more reliable Inno Setup installer with automatic VC++ runtime dependency installation.
  • Release packaging: Setup installer artifacts are now built and published more reliably in CI.
  • Data safety: Enhanced recovery and safety improvements for move/cleanup operations to better protect data during interrupted operations.
  • Automated testing: Expanded test coverage for the above bug paths to reduce regressions in future releases. ✨ New Features
