Changelog

All notable changes to deskify will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project follows early MVP/alpha versioning with tags like v0.1.0-alpha.1.

[Unreleased]

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 <tauri|chromium>
- --browser-bin <PATH>
- --profile-scope <isolated|shared>
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/<id>
doctor now reports whether a Chromium-based browser is available in PATH

update <id> 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

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)

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

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

Icon handling now normalizes downloaded and custom icons to RGBA PNG before Tauri build (prevents icon ... is not RGBA build failures)

Resolved a CI failure caused by Clippy (items_after_test_module) by moving the test module to the end of src/main.rs

No functional CLI behavior changes; this is a release/CI correctness follow-up to v0.1.0-alpha.1

Initial public MVP/alpha release of deskify (Linux-only)
CLI commands:
- deskify build --url <URL> --name <NAME>
- deskify list
- deskify remove <internal-id>
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

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)

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
