New Update UniGetUI (formerly WingetUI)

[silversurfer]

WingetUI 3.0.0 (Stable)​

Important note: WingetUI will soon become UnigetUI. Please see #1900 for more details

Changelog​

WingetUI has been redesigned entirely. WingetUI is now built with WinUI3 on top of .NET 8. This redesign brings not only a brand new interface, but also an improved backend. The major highlights are:

• Smoother, more responsive interface. Aesthetics and accessibility have been greatly improved.
• The backend has been improved. Packages now load faster and more reliably, providing a more straight-forward experience.
• Importing and exporting packages got a big upgrade: Lists of packages can now be opened, edited and exported again. A new Package Bundles section has been added to the interface.

WingetUI has been redesigned from scratch, therefore, this upgrade brings tons of other improvements and new features that are not going to be listed here. You can check the full changelog or download WingetUI 3.0.0 and start experiencing the best WingetUI ever right now

UniGetUI (formerly WinGetUI) 3.1.0 beta 0​

IMPORTANT:
This is the first beta release to implement the UniGetUI rebranding.
Instaling this release will automatically migrate settings and other data to new folders (WingetUI -> UniGetUI), so rolling back to older versions of WingetUI may cause settings to be reset.

Note: When it comes to features, this release should be quite similar to the stable 3.1.0 release

Changes​

• Packages will be loaded and stored by a Package Loader, instead of being loaded by the interface.
• Package lists have been rebuilt to use ItemsView, causing UniGetUI to use less ram (~290mb max -> ~210mb max)
• The Widgets API has been optimized. Packages load up to way faster on the widgets.
• The Package Manager logs have been rebuilt from the grounds up.
  • Package Manager logs for each manager can be isolated
  • Normal and Verbose views available
• Improvements to keyboard navigation
• Chocolatey can be set to not be installed by the UniGetUI Installer
• Lots of internal code changes and optimizations.
• Other bugfixes

UniGetUI (formerly WinGetUI) 3.1.0​

Changelog​

• WingetUI is now UniGetUI. A new icon completes the rebranding
• The Package Engine has undergone an entire redesign
  • Package managers that support so fetch packages via APIs (WinGet uses COM, NuGet-Based use REST nuget APIs, etc.). This leads to important speed improvements
  • The way in which icons are loaded has been renewed. Package managers that support so will provide the icons directly to the packages.
  • Microsoft Store (winget: msstore) packages show their screenshots on the details page.
  • System WinGet is now used by default. Bundled WinGet is no longer used to fetch or to install packages.
    • WinGet Packages will not show ellipted anymore.
  • Lifecycle of Packages, PackageDetails and InstallationOptions have been modified to not have duplicated instances of the same data in ram. Package data that has been already loaded will not be loaded again, and will be recycled from an older load instead.
  • Widgets for UniGetUI will now load packages faster, and does not rely on the interface as much as it used to.
  • When a package manager is missing a dependency, the user will be prompted to install it.
• Important improvements across the entire interface
  • The Software Pages have been rebuilt with ItemsView in favour of ListView. This decreases the amount of used RAM (70~100mb less aprox.)
  • The Package Details page has been rebuilt with RichTextBlock. Content does not overflow and is overall better presented. Bold, italic and greyed out fonts are used to make the interface more understandable. Text and URLs can be copied.
  • The Logs pages have been rebuilt, to provide more important information better. Different levels of logs have been introduced, easing the process of debugging and understanding issues.
  • The Settings page has been reorganized into more coherent categories
  • Improvements to ContentDialogs. Dialogs that do not prompt the user for a decision have a "Close" button at the top-right corner of the dialog.
• The Package Engine has been internally decoupled from the Interface.
• The System Tray has new, pixel-perfect icons.
• The installer will ensure WinGet and Microsoft.WinGet.Client are present on the system.
• The installer will allow the user to not install Chocolatey
• Tons of bugfixes and improvements.
