Release Notes 1.5.0

New Features

  • Versioned Install Support: Install specific versions of any package directly from the UI using scoop's @version syntax (e.g. speedtest@1.14.197). A version input field is now available next to the Install button in package details.
  • Custom Bucket Support: Add any git repository as a custom bucket via the new "Add Custom Bucket" button on the Buckets page. Just paste a URL and go.

Improvements

  • Version Switcher Visibility: The version switcher now auto-loads and appears directly in the package info modal for any package with multiple versions, no more hunting through the three-dot menu.
  • Instant Search from Tray: The manifest cache now re-warms when restoring the app from the system tray, so search is instant even after long idle periods.
  • Smarter Auto-Cleanup: Version cleanup now sorts numerically instead of lexicographically (so 148.0 correctly sorts after 9.0), always preserves the active version, and properly syncs cleanup settings between the UI and backend.
  • PowerShell Compatibility Fix: Fixed a long-standing issue where certain scoop operations (especially versioned installs) would silently fail when launched from the app. Root cause: -NoProfile prevented PowerShell from loading core modules.

Code Quality

  • Removed duplicate git credential callback logic
  • Extracted shared is_valid_bucket helper across install, uninstall, manifest, and virustotal commands
  • Replaced potential panic points (unwrap/expect) with proper error handling across bucket_install, powershell, state, and scheduler modules
  • Fixed event listener leak in the header component
