Version 10.0.473 beta 31/3/2021
Version 10.0.472 beta stopped some apps from sleeping automatically. This
releases fixes that problem. If you didn't upgrade, here's everything else
that's new!
This Beta contains important groundwork for a forthcoming new feature called
Wavebox Profiles. It give you the abilitiy to have multiple independent Waveboxes
running on one machine. To help test Wavebox Profiles, please drop support support
an email for access!
-
New Profiles!
-
Profiles icon in the UI top-right with dropdown Profile switcher. Disabled by
default - email support for access
-
We've been busy updating and fixing some longstanding issues with Cookie Profiles.
Alongside this and the release of Profiles, we've renamed Cookie Profiles
to be Cookie Containers. They do the same thing, but helps with any ambiguity
between profiles and containers 😊
- Option to show Wavebox Profile picker window on start-up
- Option to launch all Wavebox Profiles on start-up
-
😴 Sleep Improvements!
- Extend the default sleep period to 15 minutes from the old 5 minutes
-
Sleep unused tabs (not just apps) after an hour. This works across all windows, not
just the main Wavebox window and can be disabled or customized in settings
-
Uncouple the sleep setting for tabs in the main Wavebox window, so that they use
the global setting
- Indicate when tabs are sleeping by greying out the tab title and icon
- Add an option to each tabs context menu to sleep them on demand
-
After adding an app and switching away from it, the app would always go to sleep
immediately. Don't do this.
- Add notification volume control to Settings > General > Notifications
- What's New icon in sidebar
- Tidy up the context menu by grouping link open actions together
-
If you had apps in the sidebar and then scrolled the active highlight would
float in space. We nailed the highlight down so it sticks with the app
-
When sleep disk serialization is enabled, Evernote could be slow to start.
Add a fix for this.
-
Google serves up the Google Docs favicon for Sheets, Slides & Forms. Kind of
annoying if you're trying to see what's open, so we added an exception for those
sites and stuck the right icon in.
-
On linux (Ubuntu in-particular) the tray icon would flash when focusing Wavebox
windows. This isn't completely unavoidable, but we've reduced the amount that it
flashes a lot!
- UI Tweaks
- Standardize context menus throughout
- Update to Chromium 89.0.4389.114
- Update dependencies
- Performance improvements to the updater
- Remove a bunch of legacy code that's no longer used, helping to reduce our install size
