- Refactored backend code to improve model loading and inference logic, accommodating backend-specific requirements.
- Enhanced documentation to clarify backend selection and performance benefits for different platforms.
- Streamlined installation instructions and troubleshooting guidance for MLX-related issues.
- Created a new .npmrc file to enforce bun usage.
- Bumped version numbers for multiple packages to 0.1.9 in bun.lock.
- Added react-sound-visualizer dependency to enhance audio visualization features.
- Introduced convert:assets script in package.json for asset optimization.
- Updated CONTRIBUTING.md with instructions for converting assets to web formats.
- Added documentation files for API endpoints and developer guidelines in the docs directory.
Previously, running `bun run dev` would fail because Tauri requires
the sidecar binary to exist at compile time, even in development mode.
This forced developers to build the full PyInstaller binary before
they could start development.
This change introduces a streamlined dev workflow:
1. Add `scripts/setup-dev-sidecar.js` - Creates minimal placeholder
binaries that satisfy Tauri's compile-time check. Works cross-platform
(Windows PE stub, Unix shell script).
2. Update Rust code to gracefully handle dev mode - When the sidecar
fails to start, it checks if a manually-started server is already
running on the expected port and connects to it instead.
3. Update npm scripts - `bun run dev` now auto-runs the setup script,
and `dev:server` uses the correct port (17493).
4. Update CONTRIBUTING.md with clearer dev workflow documentation.
New development workflow:
Terminal 1: bun run dev:server
Terminal 2: bun run dev
The bundled binary is only required for production builds.
- Changed the development server port in package.json from 17493 to 8000 for dev.
- Improved GPU availability checks in main.py to include support for MPS on Apple Silicon.
- Removed the Assets.car file from version control as it is no longer needed.
- Updated .gitignore to reflect the removal of Assets.car.
- Added a new UpdateNotification component to inform users about available updates and facilitate installation.
- Integrated useAutoUpdater hook for managing update checks and installations.
- Updated package.json with new build and generate scripts for release preparation and key generation.
- Enhanced tauri configuration to support autoupdater with signing keys and endpoints.
- Created scripts for preparing signed releases and updating icons, ensuring a streamlined workflow for asset management.
- Added detailed documentation for autoupdater setup and icon update workflow.
- Created a new landing page using Next.js 16, featuring a modern design with Tailwind CSS.
- Implemented essential components including Header, Footer, and DownloadSection for user navigation and download options.
- Configured Tailwind CSS and PostCSS for styling, and set up TypeScript for type safety.
- Added a README with setup instructions, project structure, and deployment guidelines.
- Integrated GitHub links for easy access to the repository and releases.
- Established a consistent UI with reusable components and responsive design.
- Renamed backend development script from `dev:backend` to `dev:server` for clarity.
- Added new macOS icon assets and configuration files for the application.
- Enhanced App component to improve server management during production and development modes.
- Updated ConnectionForm to reset state after successful submission and conditionally render the update button.
- Implemented database initialization on application startup in the backend.
