Version 10.0.378

Thanks to everyone that reported issues with the previous stable (10.0.376). This patch release contains some fixes for those problems

• Fix app crash when opening google sign-in page on Apple Silicon macs
• Fix window opener crashing silenty, resulting in the incorrect behaviour
• Fix overflow issue with tooltips
• UI Tweaks

If you missed the update to 10.0.376, here's what was new...

🆕 New!

• Apple is making waves with their new Apple Silicon and Wavebox now has optimized builds available for it on our download page
• Update WhatsApp to ensure sound doesn't play when notifications are muted
• When locking Wavebox, we'd always steal the window focus. Kind of annoying, but not anymore!
• There were a few rough edges with the new macOS BigSur, we've smoothed those out
• Add "Change to app at index" keyboard shortcut
• Make the toolbar tabs more useful when there's lots in a row on smaller screens by shrinking everything a bit better
• Add "Skip this version" on Linux update dialog

🔧 Updates & improvements

• Update Chromium to 87.0.4280.66. This brings some awesome features into Wavebox...
  • Significant performance improvements, by prioritizing active tabs. This can result in a 5x cpu load reduction and over an hour of extra battery life
  • Up to a 25% faster startup and 7% faster page load time on Windows
  • The new backwards-forwards cache makes up to 20% of back-forward navigations instant
• Update other dependencies
• UI Tweaks

🐛 Fixes

• Fix collapsed sidebar sections always showing an unread indicator
• Fix cookie profiles getting muddled when setting Wavebox to restore sessions on restart
• Fix an issue where we'd stop tracking tabs properly. This potentially has all sorts of side effects, but manifested itself by not respecting opening the window in the default browser.
• Wavebox could become laggy when opening lots of new tabs, in actual fact it was just waiting for no reason. Make it jump the queue
• There was a noticable delay when using right-click, open link in new tab. Fix this.

🔧 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

• 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.

• 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.

• Add support for window open rules within app-child tabs

• Add shortcut to open tab navigator (You can set this shortcut under Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts)

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. 😊
