Greetings and Welcome to 2023! This release primarily focuses on providing a better desktop experience for the utility, headline features include:
- App Menu Items for Starting and Configuring the Utility
- System Tray Icons for quick access to the WebUI
- Auto-Start on Login (available via System -> Settings)
- An installer for Windows
- Better Default Profile Handling
Before we get into the details, I'd like to send a huge shout-out and thank you to Amethyst#1781 on discord and
@pitermach, who have been giving recommendations and doing testing to make the utility's Web UI screen reader
accessible. 0.8.0 was quite accessibility unfriendly, but with their help 0.9.0 is MUCH better. There's still
some work to do, and that's going to be a focus on 0.10.0.
There are two breaking changes with 0.9.0, the details can be found at this wiki link
Now for all the main changes.
