# Changelog All notable changes to `deskify` will be documented in this file. The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/), and this project follows early MVP/alpha versioning with tags like `v0.1.0-alpha.1`. ## [Unreleased] ## [v0.1.0-alpha.5] - 2026-02-23 ### Added - `chromium` compatibility backend via `--backend chromium` using an installed Chromium-based browser in app mode (no local Tauri build for generated apps) - `build` / `update` flags for Chromium backend selection and runtime control: - `--backend ` - `--browser-bin ` - `--profile-scope ` - Chromium app install flow with XDG `.desktop` launchers and per-app metadata (`X-Deskify-Backend=chromium`) - Optional isolated Chromium profiles under `~/.local/share/deskify/profiles/` - `doctor` now reports whether a Chromium-based browser is available in `PATH` ### Changed - `update ` now keeps the internal app ID stable even when the display name changes - `list` now derives the internal ID from the `.desktop` filename (works for both Tauri and Chromium backends) - `remove` now also cleans up Chromium profile directories (when present) - `update` keeps Chromium isolated profiles by default to preserve sessions/cookies during reinstall ### Fixed - Tauri wrapper generation now consistently uses the existing internal ID for generated app identifiers (prevents accidental ID drift during updates) - `.desktop` command generation for Chromium backend now escapes arguments (URLs / user agents with spaces or special characters) ### Documentation - README now documents backend modes (`tauri` vs `chromium`) and recommends `--backend chromium` for sites that fail in the system WebView backend - Added Chromium backend usage examples (`--browser-bin`, `--profile-scope`) and updated compatibility notes ### Added - `build --no-decorations` option to create frameless windows (`decorations: false`) for kiosk/dashboard-style setups - README screenshots for KDE/Arch showing launcher integration, running app window, and `deskify list` workflow ### Fixed - Icon handling now normalizes downloaded and custom icons to RGBA PNG before Tauri build (prevents `icon ... is not RGBA` build failures) ## [v0.1.0-alpha.2] - 2026-02-23 ### Fixed - Resolved a CI failure caused by Clippy (`items_after_test_module`) by moving the test module to the end of `src/main.rs` ### Changed - No functional CLI behavior changes; this is a release/CI correctness follow-up to `v0.1.0-alpha.1` ## [v0.1.0-alpha.1] - 2026-02-23 ### Added - Initial public MVP/alpha release of `deskify` (Linux-only) - CLI commands: - `deskify build --url --name ` - `deskify list` - `deskify remove ` - `build` supports advanced options: - `--icon` - `--fullscreen` - `--user-agent` - `--dark-mode` - `--width` - `--height` - Tauri-based wrapper generation in a temporary build directory - XDG desktop integration: - installs wrapper binary into local executable directory (`~/.local/bin` fallback) - creates `.desktop` launcher in `~/.local/share/applications` - installs app icon into `~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps` - Automatic favicon download from Google Favicon API with dummy-icon fallback - `.desktop` metadata marker (`X-Deskify-Managed=true`) for more reliable app discovery - Unit tests for: - app ID sanitization - `remove` ID validation - Deskify desktop entry detection (marker + legacy fallback) - GitHub CI workflow (`cargo fmt --check`, `cargo clippy`, `cargo test`, `cargo check`) - Tag-based GitHub Release workflow to upload a Linux `deskify` CLI binary - GitHub PR template and release-note categorization config ### Changed - `tauri.conf.json` generation now uses structured JSON serialization (`serde_json`) instead of manual string interpolation - App discovery in `list` prefers the Deskify marker and keeps a legacy heuristic fallback for older installs - Documentation updated for alpha/MVP positioning, known limitations, smoke tests, and release tagging (`v0.1.0-alpha.N`) ### Fixed - `remove` now validates internal IDs and rejects unsafe values (for example path traversal inputs like `../foo`) - Generated Tauri config creation is more robust for names/URLs/user agents containing special characters
