The first beta version of UniGetUI 3.2.1 has been released, introducing numerous enhancements aimed at improving user experience and security. Key updates include the addition of default install options that are specific to each package manager, as well as the implementation of commands that can be executed before and after installation, update, or uninstallation processes. Moreover, the new version allows users to terminate processes prior to the installation or update of packages.
To bolster security, this release restricts the use of custom command-line arguments and pre/post commands, which are now protected by a SecureSetting switch that requires administrator privileges to modify. By default, bundles will not import custom arguments or commands, and a security report will be provided when importing potentially risky settings. Furthermore, the error messaging system has been improved to deliver clearer information when UniGetUI files are missing, and there have been deep improvements in how bundles and installation options are loaded from disk. Additionally, enhancements to the WebView lifecycle have been made to ensure better performance.
Overall, the release signifies a commitment to both functionality and security, making UniGetUI a more robust tool for package management.
Moving forward, it would be beneficial for the development team to gather user feedback on this beta version to address any potential issues before the final release. Future updates might also consider integration with more package managers or expanding the customization options for advanced users, while still maintaining stringent security measures
