Quiver Launcher 3.5.0-rc.3

This is a prerelease for testing before 3.5.0.

New in rc.3

  • Add an app to your library straight from its App Catalog card with + Add, or press Y on a controller.
  • Apps already in your library are hidden from the App Catalog so new ones are easier to find. Untick Hide apps in my library to see them.
  • The App Catalog fits smaller windows: the search and filters move onto their own lines and the cards fill the width. On Android it looks like the website on a phone.
  • View README and Show Changelog in the Library now open the app's page, on its Overview and Releases tabs.
  • Quiver uses less memory, especially with a big library: pictures load at the size they're shown, and cards are only built when they're near the screen.
  • Quiver now asks once whether it may send anonymous usage data (see below).
  • Smaller fixes: the "not verified yet" line on library cards scrolls like the rest of the card, and the NEW badge is green so it stands apart from + Add.

New App Catalog

  • The App Catalog now comes from quiverlauncher.com. Search, sort and filter it like the website, including by project type, platform, console and AI use.
  • Searching shows the games that match. Each game has a page with every way to play it.
  • Each app has a page with its README, its releases and player feedback. To leave feedback, use the button that opens the website.
  • App lists are gone. If you keep your own list, add it in Settings → Advanced → My app list (a JSON file or a URL).

Safer installs and updates

  • Updates go to the release quiverlauncher.com has verified, not just the newest one.
  • Downloads are checked against the file the site recorded, and refused if it changed.
  • Installing a release that isn't verified asks first. A blocked release asks twice. Automatic updates never install either.
  • Library cards show when a newer release is out but not verified yet.
  • Apps in your library pick up the catalog's current name, icon and tags. Your own names, covers and tags stay.

Kiosk mode

  • New in Settings → General: Quiver starts fullscreen with only browsing and launching, for arcade cabinets and shared PCs.
  • Press Ctrl+Alt+K to unlock it, and again to lock it. You can set a PIN for unlocking.

Anonymous usage data

  • Quiver asks once whether it may send anonymous usage data: which features get used, which apps are installed and launched, and errors. It's off unless you say yes.
  • It never includes your name, files or folders. Change it any time in Settings → General → Usage data.

Windows MSI installs

  • Apps that release a .msi install through the Windows setup wizard, then you pick the program it installed.
  • Updates for these apps always ask first.

Flatpak on Linux (experimental)

  • A Linux x64 Flatpak download is included again. It's experimental, so expect rough edges and please report any problems.
  • The Flatpak doesn't update itself. Install a newer bundle to update it.

macOS

  • macOS downloads are available for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
  • The app isn't notarized yet, so macOS asks you to confirm the first time you open it. If it says the app can't be opened, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway.
  • A native menu bar, Apple Silicon support, and fixes for installing .dmg apps.

Other fixes

  • The window no longer jumps while you move or resize it.
  • Before an update installs, Quiver checks again which release to install, so an out-of-date saved choice isn't used.
  • Release tags like Version1.0.4 are no longer mixed up with other versions.
  • Fixes for renamed filters and text contrast in the light theme.

Thanks to sdelavega, jeffsmith82 and MarllonMenezes for their fixes.
