Full Changelog: v2.3.0...v2.4.0

v2.3.0

What's Changed

This is a fairly big update compared to usual. As always, please make an issue if you experience any problems or inconsistencies with this update :)

Important Changes ❗

These changes are important to note, especially if you use Komac in automation as they may require changes to your script:

1. The package identifier is now used as the first argument in all commands that require a package identifier. This matches the syntax of other tools and makes commands shorter to type:

Before (<=2.2.1)	After (>=2.3.0)
komac update --identifier Package.Identifier --version 1.2.3	komac update Package.Identifier --version 1.2.3

2. FreeBSD x64 and Linux arm64 builds have been re-added but all x86 and arm builds have been removed - VirusTotal/yara-x#108.
3. The release assets have been renamed to support cargo-binstall. This means you can now do cargo binstall komac which can make using Komac in automation across operating systems a lot easier.
4. OpenSSL is now statically linked on Linux so you no longer need it installed.

New features ⭐

• Added an 'Edit Manifest' option before submitting a pull request - #540
• Capabilities and restricted capabilities are now retrieved from MSIXs
• File extensions are now retrieved from MSIXs
• Significantly improved YAML syntax highlighting

Fixes and other changes 🔧

• Switched to VirusTotal/yara-x for analysing exe files.
• Added RPM binaries - #596
• Tokens passed by parameter are now validated
• Fixed architecture not being identified in URL if it is surrounded by brackets - #573
• Fixed missing portable command alias - #565
• Fixed ordered lists becoming unordered in release notes
• Fixed crash when there are mutliple TargetDeviceFamily elements in an MSIX's manifest - #622
• Fixed crash when creating a new manifest with an zip that only has one installer inside it
• Fixed relative file path not being updated if installer file name changes

Full Changelog: v2.2.1...v2.3.0

v2.2.1

What's Changed

The FreeBSD and Linux arm and arm64 builds have been dropped as they are difficult to build currently. This may change in the future.

• Fixed Linux builds linking against OpenSSL v1 - #558
• Fixed incorrect matches between zip installers where there is only one installer inside the zip
• Add GPC header to HTTP requests

Full Changelog: v2.2.0...v2.2.1

v2.2.0

What's Changed

OpenSSL is now used on Linux rather than rustls as it was causing some issues for Linux users. These binaries will now be noticably smaller, but will require OpenSSL to be installed.

Features

• Added a show command, similar to WinGet's show command. This outputs the previous manifests for a package identifier, with an optional version parameter:

komac show Package.Identifier

• HTTP URLs now get upgraded to HTTPS if their HTTPS equivalent can be successfully reached - #356
• Get install scope (ALLUSERS) from MSIs
• Added --created-with and --created-with-url as arguments for external tools that use Komac - #481
