HackerOS 2.2.0, changes for app developers:
- Installable local server. The HackerOS server installs on your computer as a service on Windows, Linux and macOS, or as a Docker image, from the archives attached to each release. It listens on this computer only, or also on the local network over HTTPS with a local certificate authority. Settings > Server connection > Local server lists the downloads, tests an address and pairs this device with a one-time code; apps get HackServerConnection.PairAsync and TestAsync. (#308)
- Real sites in the browser through the HackerOS server. With a HackerOS server connected, the Browser opens real web sites through its proxy and stays signed in to them (cookies and redirects are kept). An icon at the start of the address bar tells where the page came from, and http pages say Not secure. Apps get HackHttpResponse.Source and the TimedOut and BlockedByAdministrator network errors. (#305)
- System sounds. The OS plays a sound for notifications, warnings, errors, sign-in and sign-out. Choose the sound theme (HackerOS or Soft), the volume or turn the sounds off in Settings > Sound. Add your own theme in ~/.local/share/sounds (freedesktop.org format, OGG or MP3). (#304)
- The clock shows your local time. The clock, the date command, ls -l and the apps now use your time zone: the device's by default, or one chosen in Settings > Date and time. Apps read it with HackTimeZone and IAppExecutionContext.TimeZone. (#283)
- Install apps from GitHub with hackpkg. The hackpkg command installs, updates and removes an app from its GitHub repository. App authors build the .hackapp package with HackerOsPack. (#238)
- Cursor themes. Settings ▸ Appearance ▸ Cursors changes the pointer of the whole OS: System (the device's cursors), HackerOS Neon, Gothic Crimson, or your own theme, a folder of PNG cursors with their hot spot in ~/.config/hackeros/cursors/ or /etc/hackeros/cursors/. Apps need no change.
- Hack Store: apps open without a restart, signed packages, safe installs. An app installed or updated opens at once when it was not already loaded. Packages from a source with a signing key are verified before install. Installs are transactional: an interrupted one is finished or undone at the next start, and hackpkg repair fixes the rest. The previous version is kept: Go back to in the Store or hackpkg rollback. The app's settings and data are backed up before its first start in a new version.
- Hack Store: browse, install and update apps in one click. The Hack Store is pinned in the Start menu on desktop and mobile. It lists the apps of the reviewed catalogs by category, searches them, shows each app's page (screenshots, description, size, license, capabilities, trust), installs it for you or for everyone, opens, updates and uninstalls it, and offers Restart to finish. It checks for updates at sign-in then every 6 hours, and says what it finds in a notification. hackpkg install <appId> installs from the same catalogs, and asks you to choose with catalog:<name>/<appId> when several list the app; the SDK gains HackAppPackages.GetCatalogsAsync, GetUpdatesAsync and RestartToFinishAsync.
- Install apps for yourself, trusted sources and block list. An app from a trusted source is now installed for you alone, without an administrator. An install for every user, an untrusted source or an app of the administrator's block list asks every time for an administrator sign-in, then a window that shows the app, its source, its trust level and its capabilities. Administrators manage the sources and the block list in Settings > Sources and block list or with hackpkg sources and hackpkg policy. hackpkg gets --user and --system; --allow-untrusted is gone.
- Installed apps load their images, scripts and workers. An app installed with hackpkg now finds the files of its wwwroot/ folder at the same address as an app built into the OS: images, scripts, style sheets, Web Workers and the scripts those workers load. An app that wraps a JavaScript project works once installed.
- Theme packs in the Hack Store. The Hack Store has a Themes tab. A .hacktheme pack brings themes, wallpapers, icons, sounds and cursors; install it for yourself without an administrator, or for everyone with the two-step approval, then pick its parts in Settings ▸ Appearance. A pack holds no code: no SVG, no remote address, and every file is checked against the SHA-256 of its manifest. Apps reach packs through HackAppPackages.InstallThemePackAsync, GetInstalledThemePacksAsync and RemoveThemePackAsync.
- Hack Store: no update badge, and hackpkg asks which catalog to use. Available updates are announced by a notification only; the Hack Store's icon no longer carries a count. hackpkg install <appId> refuses an app that several catalogs list and names each catalog:<name>/<appId> to choose from.
- SDK: icon on message boxes. MessageBoxIcon (Information, Warning, Error, Question), MessageBoxDialogRequest.Icon and a WindowAppBase.MessageBox overload that takes an icon. (#277)
- Recursive total size in the file API. The file service and the SDK compute the total size of a folder and its content. (#275)
- HackScreens system API. System apps with the screens.manage capability can list, open, restore, close and identify screens through HackScreens. (#238)
- HackWhatsNew: read the OS change list from an app. HackWhatsNew.GetAsync returns the changes of each version in the app's language with the ones the user has not seen yet, and MarkSeenAsync removes their New badge. No capability is needed.
- Release notes and changelogs written from the change list. The GitHub Release text, the release notes of every HackerOs.* NuGet package and CHANGELOG.md / CHANGELOG-fr.md now come from the change list entries.
- hackeros-solution template: a whole app repository. dotnet new hackeros-solution creates an app repository: the app, a host that runs it in HackerOS, its tests, the HackerOS submodule that gives the version, CI and a workflow that submits the app to the Hack Store catalog on a v* tag. Debug builds HackerOS from the submodule's sources (step into the SDK and the OS); Release uses the nuget.org packages. Every template now has its Visual Studio and Rider labels and icon.
