v1.9.0 - the big rewrite
I rewrote the app
Following CVE-2023-40168, I have spent the last while rewriting the desktop app from the ground-up with security as a top priority from the beginning. There are a few results of this:
- The app's foundation is much more secure (which doesn't mean no bugs -- just fewer opportunities)
- Bugs are very likely.
- Your data such as addon settings and the backpack have to be transferred from the old storage place to the new one. The app will do this automatically, but this is a risky operation. Take note of your backpack and settings before you update and then compare them after. If you notice any difference, please notify us, that is a serious bug.
- We currently do not delete your old data. We will in a future release.
