This update concerns the performance and the feel of the software and aims to optimize the detection of games as well as other backend tasks. We have gone ahead and done the tedious work of rewriting our whole game detection mechanism into Rust, which is much faster and efficient. We also hope to have a much better experience implementing new and more complicated features in the near future.
🔧 Notable Changes
- Window blur support for Windows, macOS, and Linux1
- Address the terminal pop-up issue on Windows
- Address the issues with Spotify feature not working
- Implemented run on startup feature2
- Support for GOG launcher game detection
- Xbox Games support has been removed
- Enhanced game fetching algorithm for decreased delay on Windows
- Display the initial Lazap instance upon the request of a new instance
- Improved banner fetching mechanism and transitioned to backend
- Added Support for Flatpak detection on Linux
- Address significant issues regarding the macOS platform
- Miscellaneous Bug Fixes and QOL Improvements
- Addressed major security vulnerabilities
- Other UI improvements
- Reduced the loading times by almost 0.5s!
