FULL 0.9.0 CHANGELOG

Changes in v0.9.11

• Settings: Fixed an issue where the reset settings button stopped working in v0.9.10.
• MacOS: Fixed an issue where the menu bar would still show the context menu when a user would left-click it.
• Misc: Updated packages.

Changes in v0.9.10:

• Settings: The settings UI has been tweaked to improve UX.
• Security: Updated @isaacs/brace-expansion to v5.0.1 to mitigate GHSA-7h2j-956f-4vf2.
• File Thumbnails: Updated the thumbnail preview code to support more file types and improved the code to be easier for future maintaining.
• Unzip: Added an unzip ui when a user clicks extract or double clicks a zip (or other supported) archive.
• UI: Fixed an issue where the right-click context menu would render cut-off on the corners of the app.
• UI: General UI improvements.
• Shortcuts: Most Shortcuts are now remappable!
  • Open the shortcuts menu by pressing CTRL+? (Or CMD+? on Mac) to open the shortcuts panel.
  • Some shortcuts are hard coded and reserved for app functionality and to prevent issues with file operations
• Cleaned up more old code.

Changes in v0.9.9:

• MacOS: Fixed an issue where the tray icon required an extra click to hide/un-hide IYERIS.
• Flatpak: Beta builds no longer include flatpak binaries.
• Logging: Added electron-log to allow for easy debugging/issue tracking. Logs are stored in the Application Data folder and can be found by going into Settings > Advanced > Application logs
  • The logs are privacy preserving and are always local. If a user chooses to create a GitHub issue for IYERIS, uploading the logs really helps me to figure out the problem.
• Context menu: Fixed an issue where the compress and copy file path text rendered right aligned instead of left aligned.
• File properties: Updated the file properties window UI.
• Side bar: Added a new item to take a user to their %userprofile% or home folder.
• Thumbnail cache: Added an option in the advanced settings tab to dump thumbnail cache.
• Codebase: Moved all code into ./src
• Codebase: Removed dead code and optimized older code.
• Home view: Tweaked the home view code to run better.
• Home view: Removed the home button in home view (redundant as the user is already in home view).
• NEW - Protected file actions: Added a new process where if the user tries to do a file action on a file/folder that needs higher permissions, IYERIS will spawn a child process to request elevation for that specific action.
  • After the specific operation is done the process will end itself and before and during the operation will not take any other commands to protect from hijacking.
  • Currently, when a protected file operation happens, by default IYERIS will ask the user if they want to elevate their permissions. There is a setting to skip the confirmation dialogue for power users.

Changes in v0.9.8

• NEW: Home View/Page has been added!
  • Taking inspiration from File Explorer's "My PC" tab, the home view has frequently accessed folders, all of your mounted drives, bookmarks, and recent files!
  • More customization is coming soon to the Home View but for now you can access the limited customization options by clicking on the ✏️ icon on the bottom right.
• NEW: File tree
  • The file tree has been added to give users a file-explorer-like browsing experience. It is enabled by default but can be disabled in settings.
• Sidebar: The sidebar has undergone extensive, major changes.
  • The sidebar has been re-written again for UI/UX Improvements.
  • The sidebar's hide/un-hide button has been moved to the top.
  • Fixed multiple issues with the sidebar when in hidden mode.
• Multi-threading: NEW! More multi-thread workers have been added.
  • IYERIS dynamically chooses how many workers can run based on how much ram a user's machine has.
• Codebase: Major performance improvements by re-writing old code and optimizing current code.
• Accessibility: A compact mode has been added for users who prefer even more spacing.
• • Accessibility: IYERIS now supports using the user's native OS font sizing.
  • This can be enabled in Settings > Accessibility.
• Themed icons setting: An option has been added in the appearance section of settings for app icons to follow the colors of the user's selected theme.
• EVEN MORE: Even more misc under the hood improvements and UI Fixes!!!

Changes in v0.9.7:

A new tour option has been added to IYERIS!

If a user launches IYERIS for the first time (or resets IYERIS via settings), a message pop-up will show asking if a user wants to take a tour of IYERIS. This tour will guide the user through the basics of using the program. If a user chooses to skip the tour option, they can launch the tour under Settings > About.

  • Continuing to test how this feels for a UX perspective. May revert or show fewer with an option in settings to show more quick actions.

Changes in v0.9.5:

• Updater: Addresses (again) an issue where electron-updater would target arm64 binary installers for IYERIS updates on X64 systems (known quirk in electron-updater).
• Hidden files: Added a hidden file counter in the user's current directory on the bottom left of the app.
  • A user can click on the text to enable viewing hidden files.

• Electron: MAJOR: Updated electron to v40. There may be issues or bugs whilst the codebase stabilizes to the new major version.

• Updater: Addressed an issue where the updater would fail to quite IYERIS successfully to start the update process.
• Windows - Tray icon: Addressed an issue where restoring IYERIS from the tray icon would result in a gray screen.

NOTE: Im continuing to monitor these bugs. They stemmed from my codebase refactor. If you are looking for the most stable version, please install: 0.9.0.

Changes in v0.9.2:

• GUI: IYERIS now uses the user's operating system's native windows and navigation instead of IYERIS's old placeholder.

  • The old spacing can be restored via the accessibility settings tab.

  • This will allow minimizing the sidebar.
• Codebase: More codebase refactoring has been done to make the codebase easier for future maintaining.
