One Step at a Time

In this update, our main focus is on delivering a more unified feedback system across commands. We've upgraded all commands to align with the improvements made to the render command in the last release, so you can now visually track what each command is doing and monitor its progress. While the current step progression is basic, it sets the stage for even more detailed feedback in future updates.

This release also includes several key bug fixes for the config and render command, ensuring a smoother and more reliable experience overall.

What's Changed

• chore: bumped dependencies by @lazercube in #106

Full Changelog: v0.10.0...v0.11.0

Streamlined

In this release, we’ve reworked how project data is organized, simplified commands with aliases, and brought a new UX to the render command. These changes are designed to make managing your projects easier than ever and are a big step towards a 1.0 release.

New Features

• Consolidated Data: All project data now lives in a single .rocketblend folder for cleaner organization and future metadata support.
• Smarter Aliases: Use shorthand commands (e.g. rocketblend install blender/4.2.2) thanks to newly introduced reference aliases.
• Enhanced Render Command: Enjoy the new render command UX, with better visual feedback and more accurate data.

Migration Notice

To reduce clutter and keep all related files in one place, we've reorganized the project structure. As a result, you'll need to migrate the following files:

• rocketblend.json is now .rocketblend/profile.json
• rocketdesk.json will become .rocketblend/meta.json

Changelog

• 56aac65 feat!: consolidate project data into .rocketblend folder (#96)
• b319921 feat: create profile for existing project (#99)
• 585aaa6 feat: reference aliases (#100)
• b693780 feat: render command ui (#102)

Changelog

• e4b302e fix: old default build reference (#90)
• 6885c17 fix: template obfuscation (#91)

For the Future

This release contains new features, code improvements and polish to help the project going forward into the future. The major part of this release is centred around supporting the new desktop GUI, which I hope will being more people over to the project.

Heads Up

Because of all the changes we've made in this release, the new version won't work with the old ones. We suggest you remove the old version before installing this upgrade.

MacOS/Linux Command Fixes

Changelog

• 496ca63 Fixed issues on Linux/MacOS (#52)

Major Upgrade

We've made big changes to most of our code to make things better for the future. We now use a Git repository-based method, similar to Scoop, to handle packages. We've also made our logging clearer and more detailed, so you know exactly what RocketBlend is doing.

Added features include: stopping all commands when needed, resumable downloads, new commands, and logging straight from Blender. Plus, we've improved how the program performs in general.

Heads Up

Because of all the changes we've made in this release, the new version won't work with the old ones. We suggest you remove the old version before installing this upgrade.
