 # TODO & WIP
-* Add some extra info into the version strings used for display and --install etc, to better handle multiple kernels of the same main version but from different sources, and other differences like builds and platform/feature options etc  
 * Replace Process.spawn_async_with_pipes("aria2c ...",...) with libcurl

 * Move the notification/dbus code from the current shell script into the app and make an "applet" mode  
 * Combine the gtk and cli apps into one, or, make the gtk app into a pure front-end for the cli app, either way  
 * Replace the commandline parser  
 * Toggles to show/hide the rc or invalid kernels in the main ui instead of going to settings  
 * Right-click menu for more functions for a given kernel, such as reloading the cache just for a single kernel to check for new build status etc, without adding 18 buttons all over the ui.

 * Add commandline flags for all settings. Currently the console app is controlled by several settings that it has no way to edit or override, other than by the user manually editing config.json
