v3.6.0-beta.2 — Cross-Platform Protocol Handler Registration

on GitHub

What's Changed

This release introduces a complete cross-platform protocol handler registration system with robust macOS support, multi-language UI, and reliable state management.

✨ New Features

• Protocol handler registration — Users can now register Motrix Next as the default handler for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// links directly from Settings, with per-protocol toggle switches
• Multi-language protocol labels — Protocol labels with URI scheme format ([ magnet:// ]) added across all 26 locales
• Hijack detection — On startup, detects when another application has taken over a registered protocol and shows an OS-level notification with an in-app dialog to guide the user

🛠 Improvements

• macOS identity resolution — Uses app.config().identifier from tauri.conf.json instead of NSBundle.mainBundle(), which incorrectly returned the parent process's bundle ID (e.g. Terminal.app) in dev mode
• Post-registration verification — After calling LSSetDefaultHandlerForURLScheme, verifies the handler actually changed, catching silent no-ops when no .app bundle exists
• IPC error display — Fixed Tauri error objects displaying as [object Object] in toast messages by properly extracting inner messages from serialized AppError variants
• Failed registration rollback — When protocol registration fails, the toggle automatically reverts to its previous state and the reverted value is persisted to config

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed protocol switches staying ON after failed registration attempts
• Fixed syncProtocolHandlers and onMounted race condition causing inconsistent switch states across app restarts
• Fixed redundant closure lint flagged by Clippy in protocol registration path
