2.0.3

Release version 2.0.3

• Make config file discovery more robust

2.0.2

Release version 2.0.2

• Only search for runtimes actually needed for launch
• Implement Python installation package filtering
• Discover Linux system pythons more robustly
• Reduce verbosity of classpath output in debug mode
• Also look for Jaunch config dir at config and .config

2.0.1

Release version 2.0.1

• Discover JVM-related DLLs more robustly on Windows.
• Add more detail to --print-python-info output.

2.0.0

Release version 2.0.0

• Improve how Python installations are discovered and launched:

  • Jaunch now first discovers the Python launcher binary.
  • Then Jaunch invokes it to interrogate the Python installation.
  • The retrieved info includes the associated Python shared library location.
  • Fixes Python discovery issues with macOS Homebrew, Windows, and uv envs.
  • The TOML schema's python.lib-suffixes is now python.exe-suffixes.
  • Therefore, the TOML schema's jaunch-version has incremented to 2.

• Make major improvements to the C launcher:

  • Now uses a two-thread design supporting multiple launch directives.
  • Now requires pthread on all platforms (statically linked on Windows).
  • Debug logging indicates which subsystem and thread emitted the message.

• Split C launcher's debug logging into two distinct tiers:

  • Use --debug for INFO level, enabling operational flow updates.
  • Use --debug --debug for DEBUG level, with more verbose updates.

• Add infrastructure for internal --jaunch-* config flags.

• Add new RUNLOOP directive providing control over threading on macOS:

  • "none" mode does no event loop management (Python default).
  • "park" mode starts the CFRunLoop on the main thread (Java default).
  • "main" mode only initializes the NSApp (like -XstartOnFirstThread).
  • The --jaunch-runloop argument sets the runloop mode from the CLI.

• Let native launch directives declared in the TOML specify an argument:

  • For example, SETCWD:${app-dir} changes to the specified directory.

• Make the x64 launcher work on Windows arm64 systems:

  • Works by passing --jaunch-target-arch flag to the configurator.

• Implement a version directive and --version flag.

• Add JVM.md and PYTHON.md documents describing runtime-specific quirks.

• In the distribution archive, store symbolic links as links, not copies.

• Do lots of tidying and cleanup throughout the codebase.

• And fix many other small bugs! :-)

1.0.4

Release version 1.0.4

• Guard against ERROR directive without arguments.
• Make file logging logic more robust.
• Improve Linux desktop app configuration.
• Include needed configs in release archive.
• Make some minor improvements to the documentation.

• Relativize JVM root paths more robustly.
• Do not show error dialogs if --headless is given.

1.0.3

Release version 1.0.3

• Add wildcard support for TOML includes.
• Fix bug in print-class-path directive.
• Improve jvm.root-paths and jvm.lib-suffixes lists.

1.0.2

Release version 1.0.2

• Fix argument contextualization bug relating to multi-runtime argument tweaking and expansion of list variables.
• Prefer Python in active conda environment over system Python.

1.0.1

Release version 1.0.1
