This release upgrades the application from Tauri 1 to Tauri 2.

  • Upgrading from v1.4.x or earlier: back up your data first. Manually select your existing installation directory in the installer. For portable installations, back up your data and replace the executable.
  • New users: download and install the latest release.

Highlights​

  • Multiple devices and path variables: the backend supports device management and custom path variables. New interface controls let you configure variables and view device information.
  • Tauri 2 migration: the application moves to Tauri 2, with typed Specta exports for backend communication.
  • Window state and device setup: window size and position are restored on startup, and the new-device setup flow is improved.
  • Configuration upgrades: configuration from v1.4.x can be upgraded to v1.5.0.
