Wavebox Changelog
Version 10.0.457 beta 12/3/2021
- Add support for base64 encoded favicons. This fixes an incompatibility with some extensions such as Salesforce Colored Favicons

- Update dependencies
Version 10.0.456 beta 10/3/2021
- Update to Chromium 89.0.4389.82
-
If we tried to generate lots of thumbnails at the same time (e.g. in Wavebox
Navigation), the thumbnail manager would get a bit muddled and bring the
app to a stop with a crash. We like our thumbnails and we don't like our
crashes, so we sent the thumbnail manager on a small vacation and now it's
all refreshed and ready to handle whatever we throw at it.
-
Service workers would sometimes create an additional intermediary process,
this could be seen in the task manager as a process labelled "Renderer". These
aren't needed and eat a little bit of cpu and memory for no apparent
reason. We had a stern conversation with the service workers and they agreed
to not do this anymore.

- Update to Chromium 88.0.4324.182
- Fix case where some conflicting notification sounds would play
-
Performance improvements! πππ
-
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!
