v0.5.2 - 2024-06-19

This is a minor release containing many UI improvement and bugfixes. To illustrate all of these changes, here are before and after screenshots of version 0.5.1 and 0.5.2:

Notably is the redesign of the Spine buttons (#1539), the rework of the TopBar (#1580, #1621), and the many improvements to the Settings page including a redesign of the toggle switches (#1549), the combo boxes (#1549), and the addition of sections (#1618). The settings page will continue to evolve over time, but this is already a big step forward.

We've added a banner to the new tab-page to better promote the panel system. You can dismiss the banner manually, or it will be dismissed automatically, if you add a new panel (#1584, #1595):

Other Changes

Improved the Mod Library design and usability. Mods can now be added from the library and the installation status will switch if the mod has already been installed (#1543).
New messages have been added to the Mod Library and the Mods page when they are empty (#1617).
Xbox Game Pass has been disabled until we find a solution to deal with protected Xbox Store binaries. See #1476 and #1477 for details.
Missing dependency diagnostic for SMAPI Mods will now show the mod name (#1650).
Changed the default open page behavior for the settings page to always open in the "Home" workspace as a new panel (#1598).
After logging in via Nexus Mods, the App window will move to the foreground to signal completion of the login process (#1544).
The line in the download speed graph will automatically be hidden after 5 seconds of inactivity (#1597).
Both the diff and mod file tree will auto-expand the root nodes for better usability (#1593).
Renamed "Diagnostics" to "Health Check" (#1586).
New documentation has been created for both users and developers (#1624).
The updated documentation also includes a new section for package maintainers. Thanks to @l0b0, @MattSturgeon and Abzie we have the first packages appearing for both NixOS and Arch:

Fixes

Linux: Fixed the Launch button. Steam and the Game will now start correctly (#1533 and #1151).
ToolTip styles have finally been fixed and should appear correctly (#1566, #1592).
Fixed an issue where broken data can result in having no panels (#1599, #1526).

New Features

This release is packed with new features. Configs generated by the game are now ingested into the correct mod, and can be edited using our new Text Editor (#1358, #1346):

The text editor uses AvaloniaEdit and comes with syntax highlighting and many features you'd expect a code editor to have. You can even change the theme in the toolbar directly or using our new Settings UI (#396, #920):

Settings have been in the works for a long time, and we've finally developed a system to easily create settings and allow users to change them. The UI will be expanded with sections, a search bar, and many more features in the future.

Our Downloads Page received a lot of attention in this release as well. It now contains a very nice and sleek download speed chart, and a list of completed downloads (#1297, #1397):

Clicking the "View in library" button will take you to our new Mods Library. Here you can see a list of all mods you've downloaded and installed. You can also quickly add a mod to your Loadout (#1268, #1347):

The biggest change we've done is completely overhauling our internal data model and moving almost everything to our custom build database called MnemonicDB. The immediate benefit of this change is better faster, the long term benefit is having a reliable database with migrations and opportunities for new and awesome features without being bogged down by our previous data model.

One notable change that the new data model brought to the App is reified deletes.
