7 hours ago

This is an automated release.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Template creation (#295): Creating from a template now works even if you leave the name field unchanged/empty; errors are shown instead of failing silently.
  • Create-instance errors (#278): The status bar now shows actionable error messages instead of meaningless text.
  • Turnkey/systemd flow (#302): Removed outdated fake-systemd setup behavior and updated the warning logic.

🚀 Improvements

  • Error text handling: Status and notification messages are more readable (including non-English output).
  • Explorer path handling (#281): Safer path resolution and normalization for distro folders.
  • Installer upgrades: Migrated to a more reliable Inno Setup installer with automatic VC++ runtime dependency installation.
  • Release packaging: Setup installer artifacts are now built and published more reliably in CI.
  • Data safety: Enhanced recovery and safety improvements for move/cleanup operations to better protect data during interrupted operations.
  • Automated testing: Expanded test coverage for the above bug paths to reduce regressions in future releases.

✨ New Features

  • VHDX import support: Added support for importing VHDX files, along with related creation and import flow updates.
