This Launcher release is an experimental release and expected to be unstable. To download the latest stable release, click here.

What's new

  • New notifications API
  • Drag and drop to choose custom ordering of Apps
  • Other smaller bug fixes

The notifications API can be used by hApp UIs to send notifications to the Launcher UI as well as the operating system.
For Developers: Do not expect this API to be stable at this point, but be encouraged to try it out since notifications are likely to improve usability of the Launcher. You may want to make sure to handle errors gracefully when calling the API in order for your hApp UI to remain functional with later Launcher versions even if the API may change underneath.

Holochain version: 0.2.3-beta-rc.1

Known issues and Limitations

...for end-users:

  • When the Launcher main window is closed on macOS it can currently only be reopened via the system tray (tauri-apps/tauri#3084)
  • Downloading of files from a Holochain App to the file system is not yet supported on macOS but will likely be added soon (tauri-apps/tauri#4633)
  • Launcher can freeze on macOS if an app is opened while in full-screen mode
  • App windows don't have their own menu on macOS (tauri-apps/tauri#5768)
  • Clicking on "Open App" of an app that is already open will not unminimize it on some Linux distributions in case it is minimized (tauri-apps/tauri#5974)
