Original Release notes

We're excited to release beta 8! In addition to a variety of bug fixes, we've also made various optimizations. With this release, we drop winetricks and use our own native calls to wine functions. This speeds up install dramatically! We're talking about jumping from 30+ seconds for some actions to 2 seconds. A nasty bug fixed is one that crashes on certain resource downloads.

The really big news though is that this release adds both a snap definition and a flatpak definition. We still need to add the flatpak to flathub, but the snap is already in snapcraft. These new install options mean we now support every distro where either one of these is supported.

We also now have our own nix.shell. In the future we hope to change this to a flake, but the shell is working even now.

There's also a new TUI color scheme: "System". Rather than overriding your terminal colors, the TUI will accept whatever your terminal has set. It gives the TUI a natural feel.

Update right away!

In general, the project is moving away from getting core functionality working to squashing the last bugs and getting our available installation channels properly set. We see the 4.0.0 release as being on the horizon.
