Took a while, after giving up on WinUI3 to 'we're so back'. Either way, This is a major release, in terms of
code changes.
- Migrate the Hurl completely to WinUI3
- Completely 'ahead of time' compiled, which means
- NOOO MORE prerequisite of installing dotnet runtime and WinAppSDK runtimes to run Hurl. Just install Hurl and it should run.
- Takes upto 75MB of disk space (Increase from 40MB)
- Hopefully, Fixes the problem where links wont open sometimes (like when opening from Steam etc.)
- Removed the
Launcher.exeand directly use the new Selector app. - Also, Thanks to WinAppSDK's single instancing application APIs, Hurl launches as fast as before.
- Removed the
- Support for adding new browsers from Settings app.
- [BREAKING] Removed
Globrule - And more......
Note
I will be most interested in your feedback on how the application runs in your system, after these major
architectural changes (WinUI3 and AOT).
Looking forward, Next alpha release will focus on fixing any known & reported issues from this release and
bringing some new features (finally).
