Version 10.0.442 Released.

This update contains some magnificent performance improvements, that make Wavebox feel much snappier! We've also got lots of new features and improvements from right across the board.

šŸ‘ Follow @waveboxio for insider tips and updates!

šŸ†• New!

  • Add an alert state to apps and groups to show which are audible, muted, screensharing etc
  • Add mute/unmute to the app/tab menus
  • Improve the active indicator when apps are placed in the sidebar
  • Add search to settings
  • Add option to hide or show the bookmarks bar in the main Wavebox window (available under settings. This is still experimental)
  • Wavebox mini now remembers the last tab that was open
  • Add option to move app into its own group
  • Add an option to always show the tabstrip

šŸ”§ Updates & improvements

  • Update to Chromium 88.0.4324.192
  • Update dependencies
  • Speed up double click vs single click detection on apps
  • Make Wavebox connect theme aware
  • Various UI tweaks
  • Performance improvements! šŸš€šŸš€šŸš€
    • Serialize sleeping tabs to disk for faster tab restore
    • Use our new store heuristics to pre-predict changes and dump those that have no effects early in the pipeline
    • There's a case where switching between some Slack teams would cause a large CPU spike and in some cases a short hang. We added a fix that should vastly reduce CPU usage when doing this.
    • In some places we emit multiple store updates together, causing some usless UI repainting in the process. We now batch these automagically into a single update and crucially a single repaint which means faster performance.
    • Some of the integrated apps would share large blobs with multiple frames in the app. This data was never used in any of those frames, so move into a dedicated background sync store and free up some CPU and memory for all!
    • Fix a potential leak in the tab manager that was causing CPU spikes when switching tabs

šŸ› Fixes

  • The cookie profile was being lost in new tabs, when new tab extensions are installed (e.g. start.me). Carry the cookie profile through.
  • In some instances, tabs might not load until they're entered. Hopefully a fix we applied will make them load when they're supposed to
  • When sleeping/unsleeping tabs they'd incorrectly animate. Fix this
  • Wavebox connect fixes & improvements
  • Fix double clicking on apps wrongly reloading when the window is out of focus
  • Fix widevine on Apple Silicon devices not working
  • When adding weblink apps to a shared team they'd lose their name and icon. Hold on tighter and carry these through
  • Fix a crash on the dashboard when it loads before the background thread is 100% ready
  • Tweaks to the app/group tooltips
  • Fix connect call notifications routing to the wrong tab
  • Fix case where some conflicting notification sounds would play
