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

  • 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.

UniGetUI 3.1.0 beta 2

IMPORTANT:
This is the third 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: This release attempts to fix unexpected issues with the dependency installers. Assuming no more issues are found after this release, UniGetUI 3.1.0 stable will be published.

Changes

• Fixes to the dependency installers
• Improvements to how Microsoft.WinGet.Client is installed by the installer
• Improvements to the Settings and Log pages.
• Other bugfixes

• Other minor issues have been fixed on this release.
