Bazaar 0.9.4 released
Bazaar 0.9.4 arrives as the third release in ten days, featuring integration of libdex 1.2.beta for improved async I/O handling and a revert of a texture caching change that caused performance regressions. The app store maintains its split-binary architecture introduced in 0.9.2, keeping the main GUI separate from the low-memory daemon to significantly reduce idle RAM usage. UI updates in this cycle bring zoom shortcuts to the screenshot viewer, smoother navigation for app detail pages, and accessibility fixes for keyboard and screen reader users.
