Bauh

Features
- Native Web applications support:
- if an URL is typed on the search bar, a native web application result will be displayed on the table.
- bauh relies on [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en/), [Electron](https://electronjs.org/) and [nativefier](https://github.com/jiahaog/nativefier) to install the Web applications, but there is no need to have them installed on your system. Bauh will create its own installation environment with these technologies in **~/.local/share/bauh/web/env**.
- suggestions are retrieved from [suggestions.txt](https://github.com/vinifmor/bauh-files/blob/master/web/suggestions.yml)
- requires only **python-beautifulsoup4** and **python-lxml** to be enabled
- **Suggestions** button: it shows some application suggestions

Improvements
- configuration file **~/.config/bauh/config.json** renamed to **~/.config/bauh/config.yml**
- some parameters and environment variables were moved to the configuration file ( **~/.config/bauh/config.yml** )

disk_cache: old '--disk_cache'
enabled: true
download:
icons: true old '--download-icons'
multithreaded: true old '--download-mthread'
gems: null
locale: null old '--locale'
memory_cache:
data_expiration: 3600 old '--cache-exp'
icon_expiration: 300 old '--icon-exp'
suggestions:
by_type: 10 new -> defines the max number of suggestions by package type
enabled: true old '--sugs'
system:
notifications: true old '--system-notifications'
single_dependency_checking: false old '---check-packaging-once'
ui:
style: null
table:
max_displayed: 50 old '--max-displayed'
tray:
default_icon: null old environment variable 'BAUH_TRAY_DEFAULT_ICON_PATH'
updates_icon: null old environment variable 'BAUH_TRAY_UPDATES_ICON_PATH'
updates:
check_interval: 30 old '--check-interval'


- The default update checking interval is now 30 seconds
- New tray icons loading priority:
1) Icon paths defined in **~/.config/bauh/config.yml**
2) Icons from the system with the following names: `bauh_tray_default` and `bauh_tray_updates`
3) Own packaged icons
- Now bauh considers the default system icon for the notifications and panel. If there is none, then it will use its own.
- AppImage:
- cleaning the downloaded database files when **--reset** is passed as parameter
- environment variables **BAUH_APPIMAGE_DB_UPDATER** and **BAUH_APPIMAGE_DB_UPDATER_TIME** dropped in favor of the new configuration file located at **~/.config/bauh/appimage.yml**
- suggestions are now retrieved from [suggestions.txt](https://github.com/vinifmor/bauh-files/blob/master/appimage/suggestions.txt)
- AUR:
- The AUR indexer daemon is not running every 20 minutes anymore. It will only run during the boot, and will generate the optimized index
at **/tmp/bauh/arch/aur.txt**. This new behavior does not harm the current experience, and reduces memory usage. More information about this behavior in [README](https://github.com/vinifmor/bauh/blob/master/README.md).
- Environment variable **BAUH_ARCH_AUR_INDEX_UPDATER** dropped in favor of the behavior described above.
- Environment variables **BAUH_ARCH_OPTIMIZE** and **BAUH_ARCH_CHECK_SUBDEPS** dropped in favor of the new configuration file located at **~/.config/bauh/arch.yml**
- suggestions are now retrieved from [suggestions.txt](https://github.com/vinifmor/bauh-files/blob/master/aur/suggestions.txt)
- Flatpak:
- suggestions are now retrieved from [suggestions.txt](https://github.com/vinifmor/bauh-files/blob/master/flatpak/suggestions.txt)
- Snap:
- suggestions are now retrieved from [suggestions.txt](https://github.com/vinifmor/bauh-files/blob/master/snap/suggestions.txt)

- Minor memory improvements
- Minor UI improvements

Fixes
- AUR:
- an exception happens when retrieving matches from the cached AUR index
- not using the optimized compilation settings if the custom makepkg file is not found during the installation process
- minor fixes

New requirements
- **pyyaml**

Fixes
- Fix missing i18n keys when there are no mapped translations for the system's default locale [40](https://github.com/vinifmor/bauh/issues/40)
- Tray icon is not updating its status after an application is uninstalled

Improvements
- AUR
- retrieving and displaying all transitive required dependencies ( it can be disabled via the new environment variable **BAUH_ARCH_CHECK_SUBDEPS=0** )
- displaying **makedepends** and **checkdepends** in the info window
- Some AUR labels have been changed to not confuse the user
- **--clean** param renamed to **--reset**
- Minor UI improvements

Fixes
- AUR
- not finding some dependencies declared as files instead of the package names (e.g: dolphin-emu-git )
- replaces the term **mirror** by **repository**

Improvements
- Not breaking the application when a i18n (translation) key was not found
- Adding all english (**en**) i18n keys to help people with the application translation
- AppImage
- AppImage updater daemon replaced by a default Python thread to reduce memory usage
- AUR
- The optimized **makepkg.conf** file is now generated at **~/.config/bauh/arch/makepkg.conf** and passed as a parameter during package builds to not provoke the auto-merge of **/etc/makepkg.conf** and the old generated **~/.makepkg.conf**.
(P.S: if your **~/.makepkg.conf** was generated by bauh, consider deleting it as it will be useless for bauh now and may impact your other Arch compilation tools). Behavior discussed in [30](https://github.com/vinifmor/bauh/issues/30).
- Removing an unnecessary **prepare** step executed during dependency checking reducing the packages installation time. Also this step was preventing some packages to install due to its repeated execution ( e.g: xdman )
- Now AUR packages are enabled by default, but a warning is displayed in the installation dialog
- New package suggestions
- Caching Snap and Flatpak suggestions [23](https://github.com/vinifmor/bauh/issues/23)
- i18n:
- Catalan contributions by [fitojb](https://github.com/fitojb)
- German contributions by [JonasLoos](https://github.com/JonasLoos)
- Italian contributions by [albanobattistella](https://github.com/albanobattistella)
- minor UI improvements

Features
- New command line argument to clean the configuration and cache files: `--clean`

Fixes
- Flatpak
- Ignoring no related updates ( there are some scenarios the updates are not listed due to warnings / suggestions related to some specific runtimes if the param **--no-related** is not informed )

UI
- AUR
- Textual dependencies replaced by read-only checkboxes on Required Dependencies confirmation dialog
- Optional Dependencies installation dialog now has a type icon beside the dependency name

Improvements
- Snap
- not showing **License** in the info window if it defined as **unset**
- Flatpak:
- "Remotes not set" warning informing to the user that Flatpak support can be disabled
- showing suggestions if the user changes the application types available and there are no applications installed
- i18n: spanish contributions by [fitojb](https://github.com/fitojb)
- minor labels improvements

UI
- Displaying a **verified** green icon next to a verified publisher's name

Fixes
- Snap
- The application crashes due to Snap API checking when snap is not installed ( introduced in **0.7.1** )

Features
- Snap:
- if the **stable** channel is not available while an application is being installed, a popup is displayed allowing the user to choose a different one ( e.g: dbeaver-ce )

Improvements
- 3 password attempts for root authentication
- not changing the table applied filters after a uninstall
- cleaning the progress bar substatus after each upgrade
- sorted categories

- showing an error popup when **AppImageLauncher** messes up with an application installation
- Flatpak:
- Runtimes now are categorized as "runtime"
- Formatting the API categories to the same format provided by the other packaging technologies
- AUR:
- showing a "user-friendly" popup when there are integrity issues with the source-files of a building package
- not waiting for the categories file to be retrieved from the cloud during application boot ( reduces boot time )
- caching cloud categories to the disk so they can be used in scenarios when it is not possible to retrieve them ( e.g: internet is off )
- mapping known search key words to the specific package name ( e.g:"google chrome" will become "google-chrome" )
- Snap:
- not waiting for the categories file to be retrieved from the cloud during application boot ( reduces boot time )
- caching cloud categories to the disk so they can be used in scenarios when it is not possible to retrieve them ( e.g: internet is off )
- showing a warning popup when the Snap API is out
- Snaps not treated as applications will be categorized as "runtime" at least
- minor thread improvements

UI
- Screenshots panel:
- "downloading" label replaced by a progress bar

Fixes
- application not initializing when there is no internet connection
- not loading application icons after some filters are applied to the table results
- not reloading the available categories after asynchronous data is fetched
- not keeping the update toggle-button state after a filter is applied
- AUR:
- update-checking for some scenarios
