Version Mr. Finish Line

The newest release brings a bunch of new enhancements and bug fixes! I highly recommend that you update, especially windows and linux users who were running into gnarly window sizing issues. Mac users can now install this app using brew cask install g-desktop-suite (see README for more information).

Thank you everyone for your feedback and for being patient with me. It took me a while to comb through them, but this update should address the major ones for now. Thanks @mding5692 for being on top of everything!

• #23 Added a homebrew cask for macOS/Linux users!
• #42 Better dark mode support!
• #48 Toggle dark mode manually. (CMD + T for Mac, CTRL + T for Windows and Linux)
• #56 Hide windows (CMD + H for Mac) + new Windows Menu
• #65 Auto updating for Windows users. MacOS and Linux users should use brew cask upgrade.

Squashed Bugs:

• #22 Window sizing bug Windows and Linux.
• #25 Unsupported browser warning.

Version Conscious Club

It's been a long time since the last release, but it's finally here!

Updates for users:

• Night mode!
• Document name visible in title bar
• Fixed login issues. Thanks @Praveer1981, @ithieund, and @MiMoHo for bringing this to my attention.
• Rebranded Google Drive Electron --> G Desktop Suite

Updates for devs:

• Removed gulp, sass, pug, jquery, and a lot of other bloat.
• Updated packages to the latest and greatest.
• Use yarn instead of npm.
• Use electron-builder instead of electron-packager to significantly reduce the sizes of the executables. (~70% reduction!)

There were major app-breaking updates to Chrome that changed how they let unsupported browsers like Electron access their OAuth servers, which was why some of you had trouble logging into the app. I've done away with the pesky and deprecated <webview> tag and used BrowserView as suggested by the official Electron documentation here.

Version Fugue State

Google Drive changed up their DOM which was why media files weren't showing up for some people. The Fugue State release fixes that!

Thank you @jeremynevans for fixing the issue—

Version Dean Town

Here are some improvements to make your life easier!

• Main window won't close until all other document windows are closed. (Thanks @drebrez!)
• Store and restore window sizes and positions. (Thanks @drebrez!)
• Reload with Ctrl/Cmd + R.
• Zoom in and out with Ctrl/Cmd + +/-.
• Stagger windows when opening new windows.

v.funky-duck/0.0.2

Bug fixes:

• Fixed window quitting behavior
• Added windows and linux builds
• Fixed Javascript errors at build

The very first release of the Google Drive Electron Desktop App. This app has only been packaged for MacOS, but future releases will include windows and linux versions.
