Removed problematic summary_data and install_icon from MSI build options in setup.py and setup-ffmpeg.py to address cx_Freeze build issues. Updated target_name and version fields to 4.7.4. Enhanced build-windows.yml with improved artifact cleanup and error handling for MSI creation.
Replaces PowerShell try/catch with exit code checks for MSI build steps in Windows workflow for clearer error reporting. Removes the install_icon option from FFmpeg MSI setup to address potential build failures.
Adds error handling to MSI installer creation steps in the Windows build workflow to prevent failures from stopping subsequent ZIP creation. Updates ZIP creation logic to use the dist output directory. Removes the install_icon option from setup.py to address potential MSI build issues.
Refactored setup-ffmpeg.py to dynamically check for the existence of FFmpeg binaries before including them in the build. This improves robustness by warning if any binaries are missing and avoids hardcoding file paths in the include_files list.
Removed explicit package listing in build_exe_options for cx_Freeze setup scripts, allowing auto-discovery from main.py. Added the entire src directory to include_files to ensure all source code is bundled with the build.
Deleted build/windows/windows_build_universal.py as part of cleanup or migration. This script previously handled MSI and ZIP packaging for YTSage using cx_Freeze.
Refactored build script to use absolute paths for setup files and build artifacts, improving reliability and path resolution. Enhanced cleaning logic to preserve build/windows scripts, added verbose debug output, and added checks for setup file existence before build steps.
Replaces PowerShell build script with Python in CI workflow and deletes the old build/README.md and windows-build-universal.ps1. This streamlines the build process and consolidates build logic into Python for better maintainability.
Changed the version extraction regex in Get-VersionFromSetup for improved accuracy. Refactored New-ReleaseNotes to build the release notes string incrementally instead of using a here-string, simplifying formatting and maintenance.
Introduces a setup.py script for building YTSage on Windows using cx_Freeze. Supports building executables, MSI installers, and ZIP distributions, with detailed configuration for included/excluded packages, assets, and installer options.
Expanded build/README.md with detailed instructions for CI/CD and local builds, directory structure, build script options, output artifacts, requirements, troubleshooting, version management, and future enhancements for the YTSage build system.
