🔧 Updates & improvements

• Thanks to some awesome hardwork by some of our team, we found some performance bottlenecks in the change-store-emit cycle that the app uses for making data changes and rendering them in the UI. The stores are now able to intelligently detect the type of change early on in the pipeline and uses different optimization algorithms to speed those bottlenecks up. The result is a 25% speed improvement during heavy load and a big high five ✋
• Make some improvements to initial pageloads which increases speed especially on slower machines
• Update dependencies
• Update to Chromium 86.0.4240.111. This includes important security patches

🐛 Fixes

• Fix issue where the auth user id was not set on integrated accounts
• Fix a race condition that affected container script loading causing it to sometimes fail
• Tabs could sometimes get stuck to the mouse pointer when dragging. We removed just the right amount of glue so they don't stick anymore.

Version 10.0.322

This release fixes a few issues that popped up in version 10.0.319. Here's what's new...

• Fix invalid sign-in icon not appearing on older apps
• Merging groups together could cause the newly merged group to malfunction. That's not the desired behaviour so we fixed it
• Add consistency improvements to prevent data becoming corrupted
• The main window could become locked up when closing a tab that prompted before leaving, add a fix for this
• Using Ctrl/Cmd/Alt/Shift+Click to open tabs in the background would just open a blank tab, this now loads the tab correctly
• Make sleeping tabs show grey icons only when the setting is enabled under ui settings

Version 10.0.319

This release adds a new improved window opening engine that makes it easier and more intuitive to setup and create rules when needed. Alongside this, it contains multiple fixes and platform updates including an upgrade to Chromium 86.

🆕 New!

• Improvements to the window opening engine. You can now create rules in an ad-hoc fashion and there's a brand new ui for managing these that makes it clearer and easier to see which app opens links where. In addition to this are some additional rule types to compliment the new main window tabs and the option to set links to open in the default browser on a per app basis
• Add support for window open rules within app-child tabs
• Add default browser action to the click+modifier commands
• Add recent tabs to suggested items in switcher

🔧 Updates & improvements

• Fix keyboard shortcut for switch to app at index
• Add support for closing tabs via middle click
• Fix issue where closing a tab via keyboard shortcut would switch group
• Add shortcut to open tab navigator (You can set this shortcut under Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts)
• Fix send all tabs to workspace

In case you missed it, here's what was new in version 10.0.282. It contains some bumper performance improvements, plus a bunch of updates to tabs - how they work and what they can do.

🐈 Getting tabby.

• We've been busy working on adding tabs into the main Wavebox window. These sit right alongside your apps to provide an easy way of working across multiple pages, rather than relying on additional browser windows.
• Need a little help with your extra tab powers? No problem, the new WB Navigator is available to help! Click on the compass icon in the sidebar to open the Navigator window and see a real-time preview of everything running in Wavebox.

🌙 Sleep apps more soundly & pick up where you left off.

• We've updated how tabs sleep and restore so that they startup faster and remember your previous browsing state and history.
• Sometimes it's nice to pick up where you left off after restarting your machine, so we've added an option for this. You can enable it under 'Settings > General > Start-up.

🚀 Full speed ahead!

• Wavebox has updated a bunch of its dependencies as well as Chromium, which is now at 85.0.4183.102. Updating to v85 has made tabs 10% faster to load, allowing you to work more efficiently.
• We've also spent some time tracking down any performance bottlenecks in Wavebox caused by a bad voltage regulator. It turns out that switching the regulator to fast mode makes lots of other stuff run faster, or in real terms, a 50% CPU usage reduction in some cases.

There's also a bunch of other fixes and tweaks that help keep Wavebox running smoothly and speedily. 😊
