Full Changelog: 1.4.19...1.4.20

2.0.0

menuinst v2 is a backwards compatible rewrite of v1 that adds a new JSON document standard with multiplatform support. Some highlights:

• Single unified JSON document for Windows, Linux and macOS, as introduced in CEP-11
• Backwards compatible API with v1-style JSON documents
• Support for file extension (e.g. .png) and URL protocol (e.g. menuinst://) association
• Rewritten documentation

Enhancements

• Add support for file extension and URL protocol association on Windows. (#117)
• Add support for URL protocol and file type association in all operating systems. Adds tests and examples. (#118 via #119, #135)
• Add app_user_model_id field on Windows shortcuts to group taskbar icons together. (#127 via #133)
• Enable automatic elevation on Unix platforms too, and add tests. (#137 via #138, #139)
• Add recipe and CI workflow steps to build and upload canaries to conda-canary. (#144, #145, #149)
• Implement auto-elevation logic in Unix systems so it doesn't depend on pre-existing .nonadmin files. (#150 via #156)

Bug fixes

• Ensure some v1-only import paths are still available for backwards compatibility. (#151)
• Do not capitalize ${DISTRIBUTION_NAME} in v1-style menuinst JSON documents. (#153)

Docs

• Create Sphinx-based documentation following community practices (constructor, conda-libmamba-solver). Absorbs and updates the existing info in wiki and non-deployed docs. (#112)
• Add development documentation. (#131)

Other

• Enable and apply pre-commit with isort/flake8/black. (#116, #125)
• Adjust workflows to only target main after merging the cep-devel branch. (#141)
• Move cwp.py from the repository root to menuinst._legacy subpackage.
  It's still shipped to %PREFIX% in the conda package. (#145)
