# 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] ## [v0.1.1-alpha.1] - 2026-05-04 ### Added - Comprehensive unit test suite (37 tests covering desktop entry escaping, Tauri config generation, validation, Chromium backend, and app config serialization) - Module refactoring: code split into 10 focused modules (types, validation, tauri, chromium, icon, desktop, install, app, doctor) ### Fixed - Test coverage gaps resolved with tests for: - `desktop_exec_escape` handling of empty strings, whitespace, quotes, and backslashes - `validate_remove_id` rejection of uppercase, special characters, and path traversal attempts - Tauri config generation (fullscreen, no-decorations, dark-mode, user-agent, window dimensions, CSP) - App config serialization roundtrip ### Changed - Split `main.rs` (~1900 lines) into modular structure: - `src/types.rs` - CLI definitions and types - `src/validation.rs` - ID sanitization and validation - `src/tauri.rs` - Tauri config and project generation - `src/chromium.rs` - Browser detection and exec building - `src/icon.rs` - Icon fetching and processing - `src/desktop.rs` - Desktop entry utilities - `src/install.rs` - App installation logic - `src/app.rs` - App management (list/remove/config) - `src/doctor.rs` - Diagnostics - `src/main.rs` - Entry point and orchestration ## [v0.1.0-alpha.9] - 2026-02-25 ### Fixed - Accept legacy `profile_scope=default` in persisted app configs (treated as `isolated`) and fall back to desktop metadata when a config is invalid - Validate Chromium browser binaries before installing `.desktop` entries (prevents silent failures with wrapper scripts) ### Added - AUR publish automation (PKGBUILD generator + GitHub Actions workflow) for `deskify-bin` ### Documentation - Quick Start improvements and Chromium backend troubleshooting notes - AUR install instructions and alpha warning (`yay -S deskify-bin`) ## [v0.1.0-alpha.8] - 2026-02-25 ### Added - Persisted app metadata under `~/.local/share/deskify/apps/.json` - `deskify list --verbose` to show URL/backend when metadata is available ### Changed - `deskify update ` no longer requires `--url` when metadata exists (migrates older installs on first update/build) ## [v0.1.0-alpha.7] - 2026-02-25 ### Added - AUR `deskify-bin` packaging template with checksums ## [v0.1.0-alpha.6] - 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
