UniGetUI 3.1.4

Changelog

• Support for icons on package lists is now a stable feature!
  • Icons will show on package lists.
  • Icons will be downloaded once and stored on a local cache, to prevent unneeded bandwidth usage.
  • The icon cache is not expected to exceed 10MB of space on a worst-case. Cached icons are resized and compressed for less disk usage.
• VCPkg is available on UniGetUI (thanks @mrixner!). This includes
  • Installing, updating and removing vcpkg packages
  • Handling the periodic refresh of the vcpkg local repository (can be opted out)
• UniGetUI will use UniGetUI Elevator instead of GSudo. More info about UniGetUI Elevator here
• UniGetUI can now automatically delete desktop shortcuts created when updating software (thanks @mrixner!)
• Internal duplicated procedures will be recycled, so resource-intensive tasks are performed only once.
• Important improvements to the updater.
  • Users will now be able to opt in to UniGetUI PreRelease versions from UniGetUI Settings.
• Internal improvements to WinGet package handling
• WinGet COM API connection is more resilient, and will attempt to reconnect (once) if the connection to the COM Server is lost.
• Package-fetching operations are more reliable across the board. A one-time retry policy has been introduced.
• Tons of other changes and improvements
