GitHub Store 1.4.2

A small but impactful update focused on smoother search and more reliable update checks. 🎯

Highlights

• Improved search experience

  • Fixes inaccurate result counts for search queries.
  • Refines “load more” / infinite scroll logic so results load more predictably and consistently.

• Smarter update detection

  • Update checks now rely on app versionCode and versionName, making detection more reliable than using only Git tags.
  • Automatically migrates existing data to store precise installed and latest version info.
  • Detects updates or downgrades made outside the app (e.g., F‑Droid, manual installs) and syncs them back into the database.

• Better update visibility in the UI

  • Adds an indicator dot on the Apps icon in the top app bar whenever updates are available, so you never miss a new version.

Support the project

• README now includes a dedicated support section, making it easier to star the repo and share it if you find GitHub Store useful.

Full changelog: 1.4.1...1.4.2

Github Store 1.4.1

This release focuses on making updates, search, and downloads feel more reliable and predictable across platforms.

🔁 Smarter updates

• Refined the update flow so Github Store picks the right asset for each platform, cleans up outdated installers, and keeps the installed apps list in sync after an update.

🔍 More reliable search

• Improved search request handling to avoid race conditions and inconsistent pagination, so result lists stay stable while you scroll and refine queries.

📦 Safer downloads

• Tightened the download pipeline for release assets to reduce edge cases where an installer might fail to download or be associated with the wrong version.

Full changelog: 1.4.0...1.4.1

Github Store 1.4.0

🚨 Breaking changes

• Installed apps are now tracked.
  Apps installed via Github Store are stored locally, and the app can now detect when an update is available so you can update them directly from Github Store.
• On desktop, downloaded installers are now saved to your system Downloads folder instead of an internal temp directory.

✨ New features

• Installed apps database and update checking, including a new Apps screen on Android for managing installed applications.
• AppImage support and improved Linux installer logic (DEB/RPM/AppImage) for a smoother desktop installation experience.
• Dynamic color theme support on Android (Material You), with the “Dynamic” option shown only when supported.
• AMOLED black theme option for dark mode, configurable in Settings and persisted via DataStore.
• “Open in AppManager” integration on Android to inspect APKs (permissions, trackers, etc.) before installing.
• Home screen categories reworked: TRENDING, RECENTLY_UPDATED, and NEW now use clearer, time‑based filters for more relevant results.
• Ability to cancel downloads from the UI.
• New Material 3 Expressive design: updated components, motion, shapes, and progress indicators for a more polished look.

🛠 Improvements and fixes

• Device flow auth now avoids the explicit repo scope for safer, narrower permissions.
• Desktop downloads now land in the user’s Downloads folder, with a snackbar to confirm where the file was saved.
• Home UI tweaks and small layout fixes (e.g., preventing text wrapping in filter chips).
• Documentation and download section updates, including macOS notes and minor HTML fixes.
• Installer generation and various internal refactors to keep the codebase maintainable.

Full changelog: 1.3.0...1.4.0

What’s new in 1.3.0

• Optional GitHub login & smarter rate limits
  Browse and install apps without logging in, using the lower anonymous rate limit, or sign in with GitHub for a much higher limit and smoother experience. Rate limit state is now tracked globally so the app can show a clear dialog when you hit the limit and tell you when it resets.​

• Safer, narrower permissions
  The login flow now always requests only the repo scope, reducing the permissions you grant while still allowing the app to fetch releases and installers.​

• Liquid Glass top bar toggle
  The fancy Liquid Glass effect on the details top bar can now be enabled conditionally, giving you modern visuals without sacrificing usability or performance on weaker devices.​

• Smoother navigation with Navigation 3
  The app has been migrated to Navigation 3 for a cleaner, more maintainable navigation setup across screens and platforms.​

• UI/UX refresh
  Multiple visual and interaction tweaks make browsing, searching, and installing apps feel more polished and consistent.​

• Settings improvements
  Logout and related account actions have been moved into the Settings feature for a more predictable, centralized experience.​
