v3.8.8

Note | This is a fixup release for v3.8.7, with very little improvements done. For a list of full changes, see releases/v3.8.7.

• Fix applying flags outside of list of WebCord's (#286).
• Update @spacingbat3/kolor to 3.0.2.
• Update @pkgjs/parseargs to 0.11.0.

Full Changelog: v3.8.7...v3.8.8

v3.8.7

• Fix random freezes somehow caused by logging functions.
• Improve parsing the process.argv by either using a native util.parseArgs method or its polyfill (util.parseArgs is itself experimental, but I think it will be encouraged to use it on Node in the future, so the code itself is actually more future-proof).
  • The polyfill implementation is provided by @pkgjs/parseargs.
  • Currently, Electon does not include util.parseArgs in its API and that's likely because it isn't present in Node 16.
• Use native fetch API if available in Node (Electron is currently at 16, so that API isn't available right now and electron-fetch will be used instead).
• Fix some Spotify embeds using build/embeds-legacy.
• Add some legacy code for older Electron versions.
  • WebCord is now confirmed to both run and build under Electron 13 (again).
• Fix a crash / fatal Error that caused about window not to load.
• Improve hiding some buttons in input box when window is small enough.
  • A visible change between older and newer implementation is that gift button is hidden as well.
• Improve text generation in license dialog window to include some basic formatting.
• Update Spanish and Norwegian Bokmål localization files.
  • Also configure Weblate so it will automatically remove blank localizations from the files (blank strings in localization files would just make WebCord to load blank text).

v3.8.6

Note | This is a fixup release for v3.8.5, with very little improvements done. For a list of full changes, see releases/v3.8.5.

• Fix bug with a microphone caused by a duplicate requests sent without mediaType in Electron 21 (#275).
• Improve logic of detecting unofficial Discord instances used for determining if tray icon should be changed.
• Fix (in-promise, non-critical) Error when requesting the screen share if permission to it should be denied.

Full Changelog: v3.8.5...v3.8.6

v3.8.5

• Bump Electron to 21.x.y.
• Fix Spotify Embeds with built-in CSP turned on (#268).
• Improve/fix experimental optimizations.
  • Add support for common GPU vendors.
  • Add generic optimizations for ARM boards without supported GPU (i.e. when Electron does not return any GPU as active and gives to it invalid vendor and device IDs).

Full Changelog: v3.8.4...v3.8.5

v3.8.4

• Update WebCord's branding.
• Fix WebSocket Server not being able to handle any connections.
• Improve documentation window rendering.
• Improve tray menu implementation.

Full Changelog: v3.8.3...v3.8.4

v3.8.3

Note | This is a fixup release for v3.8.2, with very little improvements done. For a list of full changes, see releases/v3.8.2.

• Fix #255 caused by commit 4e1716c.

Full Changelog: v3.8.2...v3.8.3

v3.8.2

• Fix rendering non-checkbox forms in the settings window. (#239)
  • I feel bad for the person who reported this: #248. This was the most unlucky result of this breakage that were possible.
• Fix parsing new Discord's <title>.
  • It still includes some code for compatibility reasons (IDK if Discord's updates are locale-specific or not).
• Block all stuff from /cdn-cgi endpoint.
  • It may or may not be a yet another script for tracing. From my tests it did not break anything when blocked and invisible.js looks there quite suspicious. Note: /cdn-cgi is blocked when user chooses to block either fingerprinting or tracing – I'm unsure how to categorise it right now.
• Sync localization files with Weblate. (#241)
  • Initial 🇵🇹️ Portuguese localization (thanks to @antoniohauren, @s-medalha and @Yzapre).
  • Update 🏴󠁥󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Catalan translation (by @rogervc).
