WebCord Versions Save

Note | This release was mostly introduced as a reply to recent breakages introduced by Electron. I plan to release WebCord v4.0.0 with Electron bump to 22.x.y as a breaking change to people's workflows. It is very likely it will deprecate v3 releases.

• Revert Electron bump and older versions deprecation.
• Improve --verbose flag implementation to also make Chromium engine log at verbose as maximum LOG() and VLOG() level and actually enable logs.
• Multiple bug fixes with WinStateKeeper logic about detecting if window is still maximized or not.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/SpacingBat3/WebCord/compare/v3.10.1...v3.10.2

• Move WebSocket implementation to SpacingBat3/DisConnection.
  • This is made as a one of the changes to split WebCord into a few smaller modules.
• Implement support for NODE_DEBUG and DEBUG env variables.
  • Both NODE_DEBUG and DEBUG will be set to * when --verbose flag is present in app's argv.
  • WebCord will also log its debug messages if NODE_DEBUG includes webcord as one of elements.
• Improve algorithm that calculates and stores the window state.
  • Fix a bug where --start-minimized/-m flag could not work once app was closed maximized (#180).
  • Overall improve the logic used to determine how to store the application window.
• Move to Electron 22.
  • This fixes upstream bugs on Linux: #49, #180, #226.
• Bump minimal supported Electron version to 17.x.y.
  • Remove some workarounds used for older Electron versions.
• Localize WebCord to 🇦🇪️ Arabic by @Ali-x98 in #322.

• UI fixes for smaller window sizes / screens.
  • Make settings sidebar hidden alongside channel sidebar.
  • Fix issues with popup positioning.
  • Limit size of popups to viewport width.
• Update Electron Forge configuration.
  • Add Squirrel maker to Forge configuration.
  • Add universal arch to macOS jobs in GitHub workflows.
  • Add / modify other makers to make them enabled while packaging with WEBCORD_ALL_MAKERS enviroment variable set to true.
• Update .eslintrc.
  • Cache ESLint results for faster linting.
  • Introduce basic naming convention to the source files.
  • Add some additional rules.

  • Improve rendering of --help message and document some missing flags.
• Update Readme.md by @4cecoder in https://github.com/SpacingBat3/WebCord/pull/305

Full Changelog: https://github.com/SpacingBat3/WebCord/compare/v3.9.3...v3.10.0

• Fix weird behaviour of Hide window to tray with the close button option (#306).
• Refactor localization files loader class (L10N).
  • This make WebCord also load localizations from associated locales, giving higher chance to display still relevant localizations rather than fall back to English.
• Refactor Content Security Policy class.
  • This changes a bit the purpose of this class – it should be only used when modifications are going to be made on the Content Security Policy, rather than replace the actual string which includes it.
  • This also makes the class value read-write, so it can be set and converted automatically to the proper format.
• Add 🇷🇺️ Russian localization files by @dsrev (https://github.com/SpacingBat3/WebCord/pull/308)
• Try to sign macOS binaries with the default configuration.

• Update 🇪🇸️ Spanish localization files (thank you, @MrCoolAndroid).
• Fix CSP for YouTube activity (#295).
• Add WIX MSIs to Electron Forge.
  • Note: Currently, MSI format is experimental and might be reverted soon. It seems that wix-maker hasn't been designed to work multi-arch, so it might be reverted soon until that's going to be fixed.
• Add setting to always close window on close button (#263).
• Update marked to 4.2.1.
• Update electron to 21.2.1.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/SpacingBat3/WebCord/compare/v3.9.1...v3.9.2

Note | This is a fixup release for v3.9.0, with very little improvements done. For a list of full changes, see releases/v3.8.7.

• Fix a bug which caused first argument passed to Electron not being parsed by WebCord.

Note | This version is focused on CSS injection in general, but also contains other changes.

• Yet another logging functions fixes.
• Fix a bug in CSS loader which caused app freeze due to infinite loop (#289).
  • Also mitigate further bugs by adding maxTries, which limits how many times app can retry after an error occurred in loop. Such loops might still occur through (at least there's no guarantees they won't), but that's less likely right now.
• Add support for enabling window background transparency.
• Improve events used for getting the right time in which scripts should be injected. Result of that is much smoother transition between WebCord's loading page and custom CSS themes.
• Add support for injecting CSS themes to popup windows, both opened by Discord and WebCord (#297).

Note | This is a fixup release for v3.8.7, with very little improvements done. For a list of full changes, see releases/v3.8.7.

• Fix applying flags outside of list of WebCord's (#286).
• Update @spacingbat3/kolor to 3.0.2.
• Update @pkgjs/parseargs to 0.11.0.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/SpacingBat3/WebCord/compare/v3.8.7...v3.8.8

• Fix random freezes somehow caused by logging functions.
• Improve parsing the process.argv by either using a native util.parseArgs method or its polyfill (util.parseArgs is itself experimental, but I think it will be encouraged to use it on Node in the future, so the code itself is actually more future-proof).
  • The polyfill implementation is provided by @pkgjs/parseargs.
  • Currently, Electon does not include util.parseArgs in its API and that's likely because it isn't present in Node 16.
• Use native fetch API if available in Node (Electron is currently at 16, so that API isn't available right now and electron-fetch will be used instead).
• Fix some Spotify embeds using build/embeds-legacy.
• Add some legacy code for older Electron versions.
  • WebCord is now confirmed to both run and build under Electron 13 (again).
• Fix a crash / fatal Error that caused about window not to load.
• Improve hiding some buttons in input box when window is small enough.
  • A visible change between older and newer implementation is that gift button is hidden as well.
• Improve text generation in license dialog window to include some basic formatting.
• Update Spanish and Norwegian Bokmål localization files.
  • Also configure Weblate so it will automatically remove blank localizations from the files (blank strings in localization files would just make WebCord to load blank text).

Note | This is a fixup release for v3.8.5, with very little improvements done. For a list of full changes, see releases/v3.8.5.

• Fix bug with a microphone caused by a duplicate requests sent without mediaType in Electron 21 (#275).
• Improve logic of detecting unofficial Discord instances used for determining if tray icon should be changed.
• Fix (in-promise, non-critical) Error when requesting the screen share if permission to it should be denied.
• Update marked to 4.1.1.
