v3.6.2-beta.1 — Windows Elevation & Protocol Registration

on GitHub

What's Changed

This beta introduces a secure, Chrome-style elevation architecture for privileged Windows registry operations, resolving protocol association failures on non-admin installations.

✨ New Features

• Windows UAC elevation for protocol registration — When registering/unregistering protocol handlers (magnet, thunder) fails due to insufficient permissions, the app automatically spawns a manifest-elevated subprocess to perform the registry operation via ShellExecuteW with runas verb. The main GUI never runs as Administrator, matching the security model of Chrome and VS Code.

🛠 Improvements

• Cargo.lock sync validation during version bumps
• Tauri plugin sync test to catch dependency drift

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed Windows build: crate-level re-export for try_run_elevated (private module access)
• Fixed Windows build: RegCreateKeyW for cross-version windows-sys compatibility
• Fixed Windows build: missing OsStrExt trait import for protocol unregistration
