sunnypatell/sunnify-spotify-downloader v2.4.0

on GitHub

what's changed

fixed

• the headless CLI now prints on Windows (closes #92). a Windows .exe is linked for exactly one subsystem - WINDOWED (no console when the GUI is double-clicked) or CONSOLE (the shell waits and output reaches the terminal), never both - so the all-in-one binary that opens the GUI printed nothing and exited 0 when run as sunnify <cmd> in a terminal. attaching to the parent console can't fix it (the shell doesn't wait for a windowed process) and --hide-console is unreliable on Windows 11 / Windows Terminal, so every Windows release now also ships Sunnify-Windows-CLI.exe, a console build from the same spec and the same code - pyinstaller's own two-binary answer, the python.exe/pythonw.exe model. the one-line installer puts it on your PATH as sunnify, and typing sunnify still opens the GUI. the double-click GUI download is byte-for-byte unchanged, and macOS/Linux have no subsystem split so they were never affected.
• CLI output no longer crashes on a legacy Windows code page. the ✓/»/→ glyphs doctor and download progress print raised UnicodeEncodeError on a cp1252 console or a redirected pipe; stdout/stderr are now forced to utf-8 (PEP 528), so a glyph degrades to ? at worst and a run never aborts.

nothing changed for macOS or Linux, and the GUI is untouched on every platform - this is a Windows-CLI-only release.

attestations from this build

direct links to each attestation generated by the workflow run that produced these binaries (sigstore-signed, public-good rekor log entry, SLSA build L3 via the release-build.yml reusable workflow):

• build provenance: Sunnify-Windows.exe
• build provenance: Sunnify-Windows-CLI.exe
• build provenance: Sunnify-Linux
• build provenance: Sunnify-macOS.zip
• build provenance: Sunnify-macOS-Intel.zip
• sbom attestation for the binaries
• build provenance for the source tarball

the *.sigstore.json assets attached above are the same attestations as offline-verifiable bundles. these get auto-refreshed on every release re-build, so the links above always correspond to the binaries currently attached to this release.
