Changelog

• Replaced QuickJS with Duktape to reduce complexity and binary size
• Replaced RapidJSON with built-in Qt5 JSON support
• Replaced WinAPI web requests with libcurl on Windows
• Implemented WebSocket client in JS environment
• Generic bugfixes

Contents

• SppliceCPP - Self-contained, (mostly) statically linked x86_64 Linux binary packed using UPX. It has been tested to run on a fresh out-of-the-box Debian system, as well as some Arch systems. A few assumptions are definitely made here.
• SppliceCPP.zip - Portable Windows archive, containing the application and required DLL files. Qt5 is statically linked in the executable, and everything has been packed using UPX. Loosely tested on a fresh out-of-the-box Windows 10 system. Not all features are guaranteed to work.

⚠️ WARNING: The Windows build currently does not verify SSL certificates.

This could allow an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, and potentially even run arbitrary code on your system, as libcurl fully trusts the data received by SSL hosts. Realistically, the odds of this happening are incredibly slim, but proceed with caution.
