DustyArmstrong/homeassistant-desktop 1.7.1

on GitHub

This is a small 'hotfix' release to address some issues that surfaced following 1.7.0 which were not caught in testing. I deemed these to be reasonably important "quality of life" issues so didn't want to leave it without a fix for any length of time.

Features

No change to features or anything major today. Assuming 1.7.1 remains largely stable, I will aim to make the next release more significant in terms of feature delivery (with the intent they remain optional).

Bug Fixes & Tweaks

• Fixed an issue where the tray could be created before the main window (which it relies on), causing the tray to crash (null). This only really happened if the window was particularly slow to launch, and was masked by the single file structure of <=1.6.10. Moved tray initialization later in the application launch logic, original placement was carried over from 1.5.X series
• Fixed power event where sleep/resume guards were improperly reset. This was masked by the fact the error pathway always fired, so also added an extra delay for network too - this should be cleaner. May further investigate this at a later date
• Added missing key to config template. This was masked by the application working as expected despite this - it may not be strictly necessary, the config seems fairly relaxed about adding missing keys by itself (clearly), but best to include it all the same
• Moved one package to dev dependencies as it should not and didn't need to be in the build. Also removed a package left over from development and testing that is no longer used
• Added explicit exit codes for all occasions where the app purposefully exits
• Minor fix for one function that wasn't awaiting, it didn't seem to matter but it's more polite
• Added window destruction verification to window frame setting and minor delay if there are any OS-level delays (possible fix for #44)
• Updated error logging to separate CODE | desc | raw error (if applicable) because I wanted it to look nicer
• A few other minor changes

Note

General feedback or issues are welcomed. Builds tested on Mac (ARM), Windows (x64/ARM) and Linux (x64/ARM - extra setup required depending).

The ARM installer for Windows is currently broken (Electron Builder), so has not been included for this version - please use the x86 one (Windows can handle it fine). I expect very few people are actually using Win ARM (other than me), but just to be aware.
