UniGetUI 3.1.2 beta 3

[marticliment]

NOTE: This beta is expected to be the latest beta before release.
NOTE: This release is not digitally signed for convenience. Stable releases will always be signed.
This was expected to be the last beta release before stable, yet stable will be delayed due to issues with the code signing certificate.
I have been told that the issues should be fixed in a week or two, as of 08/10/2024 (dd/mm/aa)

Changelog

• UI improvements

  • The interface is smoother. All background tasks are run threaded instead of using the asynchronous interface
  • Package lists will maintain selection when the packages change (up to the possible extent)
  • Improvements to the "Discover Packages" page behaviour
  • Filters panel has a slide-out/slide-in animation
  • Better messages when a UAC prompt has been canceled

• Package managers improvements

  • Cargo will be properly detected
  • NPM packages will be entirely parsed via json, improving reliability
  • Pip and Scoop package details parsers have undergone important improvements
  • Chocolatey authenticated sources will now show on UniGetUI
  • WinGet COM API will work when running UniGetUI as administrator. Bundled WinGet package detection has been improved
  • WinGet PowerShell module will not be used anymore to parse packages.

I guess the certificate thing is gonna be harder than I thought.

[marticliment]

Yes, and I am sorry for that.
I will be publishing the stable release as soon as I can codesign again

Do you use a self-signed certificate?

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365 -nodes

openssl dgst -sha256 -sign key.pem -out signature.bin code.exe

or

signtool sign /f cert.pem /p your_password /tr http://timestamp.digicert.com code.exe

[marticliment]

No, self-signed certificates do not fullfill the security requirements for which I began signing UniGetUI

thank you for the information.
Sometimes it takes some time until the signing got valid under Windows.
