Introduces a debian/postinst script in the build workflow to copy the ytsage.desktop file to the user's desktop during DEB package installation, ensuring the desktop icon is available. Also updates the icon cache and handles cases where the desktop directory or SUDO_USER is not set.
Deleted post-processing steps that manually fixed desktop entry and icon placement in DEB packages after conversion from RPM. This streamlines the build process and removes custom extraction and repackaging logic.
Enhanced the workflow to handle multiple data archive compression formats (xz, gz, zst) when extracting and repackaging DEB files. Added checks for the presence of the data archive and updated extraction and repackaging commands to match the detected format, improving robustness and compatibility.
Adds a post-processing step to ensure desktop entry and icon files are correctly placed in DEB packages built via alien, addressing issues where alien may miss proper desktop integration.
Standardizes executable and artifact naming to 'ytsage' and includes architecture in output filenames. Adds desktop entry and RPM install script for better desktop integration. Updates AppImage and RPM metadata, and ensures proper icon and category handling for Linux builds.
Changed the internal executable target name to 'YTSage' instead of including the version. The AppImage filename still includes the version, but the base executable name is now consistent and versionless.
Introduces a GitHub Actions workflow to automate building and packaging Linux releases on tag push. The workflow sets up Python, installs dependencies, builds AppImage, RPM, and DEB packages using cx_Freeze, and uploads artifacts to a draft GitHub release.
The build workflow now runs on both macos-14 and macos-13 using a matrix strategy. Artifact names for .app and .dmg files now include architecture suffixes (arm64/x64), and additional environment variables are set for architecture detection. The release step is updated to append to the draft release and handle unmatched files gracefully.
Enhanced the workflow to robustly locate .app and .dmg files in both dist/ and build/ directories, ensuring screenshots are removed from the .app bundle before packaging. Added directory listings for debugging and improved artifact naming and copying logic for more reliable release preparation.
Introduces a GitHub Actions workflow for building and packaging macOS releases. Automates version extraction, Python environment setup, dependency installation, app and DMG creation, artifact packaging, and draft release publishing for tagged commits.
Expanded the pre-built executables section to list all available Windows, Linux, and macOS package formats with descriptions. Improved instructions for logging in with cookies, highlighting the built-in extraction feature and clarifying manual steps. Removed outdated antivirus issue note for clarity.
Updated the build-windows.yml workflow to use pyglet instead of playsound3 in the list of packaged Python dependencies. This change ensures the correct audio library is included during Windows builds.
Switched sound notification library from playsound3 to pyglet in requirements and main GUI code. Updated all related logic and logging to use pyglet for audio playback, improving compatibility and maintainability.
Refactored console window suppression logic to better handle PyInstaller windowed applications and prevent console flicker. Added creation flags and redirected subprocess streams in multiple modules to ensure hidden console windows when running subprocesses. Introduced a utility function for running subprocesses with hidden console and updated all relevant subprocess calls to use it.
Suppresses console window flicker for PyInstaller windowed applications by redirecting stdout and stderr in main.py. Updates logging setup to avoid console output in windowed mode and adds fallback error logging. Suppresses pkg_resources deprecation warnings to further reduce unwanted console output.
Downgraded PYTHON_VERSION in build-windows.yml from 3.13.6 to 3.13.5. Removed SUBPROCESS_CREATIONFLAGS import and usage from ytsage_dialogs_custom.py as it was no longer needed.
Passes SUBPROCESS_CREATIONFLAGS to subprocess.Popen in CommandWorker for improved process control. Imports SUBPROCESS_CREATIONFLAGS from ytsage_constants.
Updated the build-windows.yml workflow to use Python 3.13.6, improved build steps for both standard and FFmpeg bundle versions, added dependency caching, enhanced artifact packaging, and modernized the release draft with clearer instructions and changelog links.
Simplifies and modernizes the GitHub Actions workflow for building Windows releases. Updates Python version, streamlines steps for dependency installation, build, FFmpeg bundling, artifact packaging, and release creation. Uses more concise PowerShell scripts and updates action versions for improved maintainability.
Removes the screenshots folder from both Standard and FFmpeg build outputs in the Windows workflow. Also updates artifact ZIP naming to include '-portable' for clarity in release notes and file names.
Bumps PYTHON_VERSION to 3.13.6 in the Windows build workflow. Replaces cx_Freeze CLI FFmpeg include logic with a post-build step that copies FFmpeg binaries directly into the dist folder for improved reliability.
Replaces individual asset and source file mappings with broader 'src' and 'assets' directory includes in the cx_Freeze build steps. Also updates FFmpeg file inclusion to use only the source path, removing explicit destination mapping.
Updated CI/CD documentation and workflow to generate only ZIP portable versions for Windows, removing MSI installer support. Deleted setup.py and setup-ffmpeg.py scripts for MSI builds, and refactored workflow to use cx_Freeze CLI for ZIP packaging. Documentation and artifact instructions now reflect ZIP-only distribution.
Deleted the step that removes MSI files from the dist directory in the Windows build workflow. This may be to preserve MSI artifacts for later use or debugging.
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.
The workflow no longer creates or releases ZIP distributions for both standard and FFmpeg bundle versions. Only MSI installers are built and published, simplifying the release process and documentation.
Adds logging to list MSI files after build steps for better visibility. Updates artifact selection logic to handle both 'ffmpeg' and 'FFmpeg' naming variations, and adds debugging output when standard MSI is not found.
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.
Updated FFmpeg download source to GyanD/codexffmpeg and improved artifact preparation with additional logging and error handling. The release step now uploads all files in the artifacts directory instead of specifying each file individually.
Changed status messages for FFmpeg, ffprobe, and ffplay binary checks to use '[OK]' and '[ERROR]' prefixes for clearer log output in the Windows build workflow.
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.
Replaces universal build script calls with explicit build, MSI, and ZIP steps for both standard and FFmpeg versions. Cleans previous build artifacts before building, and updates artifact preparation to source files from the 'dist' directory instead of 'releases'. Improves reliability and transparency of build and release artifact management.
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.
