Changelog
Changes since V5.1.5.3:
- [!] ASF V5.2 opens a new major milestone due to significant .NET 6.0 runtime upgrade. .NET runtime upgrade brings a lot of under-the-hood changes, compatibility enhancements, performance improvements, features and bugfixes (@JustArchi @Abrynos #2388).
- Breaking: renamed commands

, accordingly. This further helps unifying the terms used across ASF (@JustArchi #2368). - Breaking: functions previously marked as obsolete exposed to third-party plugins have been removed from ASF as a part of
B
release cycle (@JustArchi). - Breaking: ASF will now refuse to run as
root
user by default. See wiki entry for more details (@JustArchi). - ASF will now validate build checksum against independent remote server prior to automatically updating from GitHub (@JustArchi #2452).
- ASF's internal codebase has changed dramatically in regards to various .NET 6.0 improvements that we've implemented. While those changes should not cause regressions in regards to previous usage, the scope of them is huge enough to warrant a note in the changelog, as it's far more than just "usual amount of core improvements" (@JustArchi #2446).
- .NET 6.0 allows further performance tweaking, we've updated high-performance-setup on the wiki to reflect that (@JustArchi).
- Added
osx-arm64
variant of ASF for 64-bit ARM-based (Apple silicon) OS X OSes (@JustArchi). - It's now possible to use SOCKS proxies as a WebProxy setting in ASF. Simply use
socks5://
(or likewise) protocol (NET 6.0 enhancement). - Latest ASF-ui with new features, improvements and bugfixes (@MrBurrBurr).
- Updated localization provided by our community (@JustArchi-ArchiBot).
- Usual amount of other core improvements, optimizations and bugfixes (@JustArchi).
