Version 10.0.542 1/6/2021

This release has a super strong focus on performance, which makes it the fastest leanest Wavebox yet! We've improved everything from Wavebox core, to the JavaScript engine that runs in every app and tab. Here are some of the performance improvements we've been working on 🚀🚀🚀...

• Update to Chromium 91.0.4472.77 which improves JavaScript performance by up to 23% in real world tests. This is thanks to the new Sparkplug compiler in V8 which should see the vast majority of JavaScript launch and run faster
• Incrementally load Wavebox code as it's needed, using our new just-in-time pipeline. This reduces the evaluation time and memory usage on startup by 20-ish percent. Then depending how Wavebox is used, additional chunks are loaded as they're needed. This means if there's a feature you just don't use, you'll never need to load it in. If you do use it, then it's loaded seamlessly in the background without you even noticing!
• Wavebox uses lots of different code components in the app, but within those they use a shared library. We spent some time optimising these, stripping out bits that we didn't need and rewriting some others to be more performant. We managed to reduce some of the code components by over 50%, which means less overhead in lots of parts of the app and now pages and tabs should now load that little bit more quickly.

It's not all about performance, here's what else made it into this release...

• We now officially support the Arch User Repository as a new install method!
• Fix duplicate tab in new window messing up the window focus on Windows
• Fix a hard crash when profiles are enabled
• Fix being unable to remove a profile
• UI fixes

Version 10.0.518 20/5/2021

🆕 New!

• New micro version of Wavebox Connect
• Add the ability to pin a tab in the main wavebox window
• Add support for automatically changing the menu bar colors depending on theme/desktop wallpaper
• Add an option to move tabs between groups

🔧 Updates & improvements

• Update to Chromium 90.0.4430.212

🐛 Fixes

• Remove create new tab from context menu, when tabs are disabled
• When the main window quit behaviour was set to quit, Wavebox would exit badly. This caused a number of problems...
  • Running tabs wouldn't save, so the startup behaviour of "continue where you left off" wouldn't work
  • Secondary profiles could be lost if they were saved to disk badly
  • If you had a second window open and quit the main Wavebox one, there was no way to bring it back other than to restar the app
• Opening a new tab carries the cookie container across, however in some instances creating a new window would not, so always carry the cookie container.
• Fix widevine on Apple Silicon builds
• Fix a crash in workspaces
