Going forward for new installations, config and data files will be
stored at the platform default paths, as defined by
[env-paths](https://www.npmjs.com/package/env-paths).
For backwards compatibility, if the `~/.waveterm` or `WAVETERM_HOME`
directory exists and contains valid data, it will be used. If this check
fails, then `WAVETERM_DATA_HOME` and `WAVETERM_CONFIG_HOME` will be
used. If these are not defined, then `XDG_DATA_HOME` and
`XDG_CONFIG_HOME` will be used. Finally, if none of these are defined,
the [env-paths](https://www.npmjs.com/package/env-paths) defaults will
be used.
As with the existing app, dev instances will write to `waveterm-dev`
directories, while all others will write to `waveterm`.
Adds new functionality on the backend that will merge any file from the
config directory that matches `<partName>.json` or `<partName>/*.json`
into the corresponding config part (presets, termthemes, etc.). This
lets us separate the AI presets into `presets/ai.json` so that we can
add a dropdown in the AI preset selector that will directly open the
file so a user can edit it more easily. Right now, this will create a
preview block in the layout, but in the future we can look into making
this block disconnected from the layout.
If you put AI presets in the regular presets.json file, it will still
work, since all the presets get merged. Same for any other config part.
There were two type errors after the most recent electron upgrade, but
they're both benign (event handler parameter mismatch) so I am adding
ts-expect-error to both instances.
Removes global atoms dependency from emain by moving WOS to grab the
globalAtoms from window, if present. Also removes interdependency
between wshrpcutil and wps
Also adds showmenubar setting for Windows and Linux
This will take the latest artifact from the waveterm-docs repo and embed
it in the app binary. When the help view is launched, it will be served
from our backend. If the embedded copy doesn't exist, such as in
unpackaged versions of the app or in locally packaged versions, it will
use the hosted site instead.
There is a sibling PR in the docs repository to build the embedded
version of the app (strips out some external links, removes Algolia
DocSearch, updates the baseUrl)
https://github.com/wavetermdev/waveterm-docs/pull/46
This bypasses the Go backend when fetching the settings for the app on first launch. This allows for actions that need to be performed before the app is ready, such as disabling hardware acceleration.
When a user first launches Wave, we will read the updater config and
store the channel as a user setting for use on future launches. This
should ensure that if a user on a beta channel gets updated to a latest
release, they will still be subscribed to beta releases going forward.
If a user manually updates the user setting, it will be honored.

## New release flow
1. Run "Bump Version" workflow with the desired version bump and the
prerelease flag set to `true`. This will push a new version bump to the
target branch and create a new git tag.
- See below for more info on how the version bumping works.
2. A new "Build Helper" workflow run will kick off automatically for the
new tag. Once it is complete, test the new build locally by downloading
with the [download
script](https://github.com/wavetermdev/thenextwave/blob/main/scripts/artifacts/download-staged-artifact.sh).
3. Release the new build using the [publish
script](https://github.com/wavetermdev/thenextwave/blob/main/scripts/artifacts/publish-from-staging.sh).
This will trigger electron-updater to distribute the package to beta
users.
4. Run "Bump Version" again with a release bump (either `major`,
`minor`, or `patch`) and the prerelease flag set to `false`.
6. Release the new build to all channels using the [publish
script](https://github.com/wavetermdev/thenextwave/blob/main/scripts/artifacts/publish-from-staging.sh).
This will trigger electron-updater to distribute the package to all
users.
## Change Summary
Creates a new "Bump Version" workflow to manage versioning and tag
creation.
Build Helper is now automated.
### Version bumps
Updates the `version.cjs` script so that an argument can be passed to
trigger a version bump. Under the hood, this utilizes NPM's `semver`
package.
If arguments are present, the version will be bumped.
If only a single argument is given, the following are valid inputs:
- `none`: No-op.
- `patch`: Bumps the patch version.
- `minor`: Bumps the minor version.
- `major`: Bumps the major version.
- '1', 'true': Bumps the prerelease version.
If two arguments are given, the first argument must be either `none`,
`patch`, `minor`, or `major`. The second argument must be `1` or `true`
to bump the prerelease version.
### electron-builder
We are now using the release channels support in electron-builder. This
will automatically detect the channel being built based on the package
version to determine which channel update files need to be generated.
See
[here](https://www.electron.build/tutorials/release-using-channels.html)
for more information.
### Github Actions
#### Bump Version
This adds a new "Bump Version" workflow for managing versioning and
queuing new builds. When run, this workflow will bump the version,
create a new tag, and push the changes to the target branch. There is a
new dropdown when queuing the "Bump Version" workflow to select what
kind of version bump to perform. A bump must always be performed when
running a new build to ensure consistency.
I had to create a GitHub App to grant write permissions to our main
branch for the version bump commits. I've made a separate workflow file
to manage the version bump commits, which should help prevent tampering.
Thanks to using the GitHub API directly, I am able to make these commits
signed!
#### Build Helper
Build Helper is now triggered when new tags are created, rather than
being triggered automatically. This ensures we're always creating
artifacts from known checkpoints.
### Settings
Adds a new `autoupdate:channel` configuration to the settings file. If
unset, the default from the artifact will be used (should correspond to
the channel of the artifact when downloaded).
## Future Work
I want to add a release workflow that will automatically copy over the
corresponding version artifacts to the release bucket when a new GitHub
Release is created.
I also want to separate versions into separate subdirectories in the
release bucket so we can clean them up more-easily.

This change shaves ~20 MB off the download size by only copying over the
wavesrv binary that is relevant for whichever architecture we're
currently packaging. This is only relevant for macOS at the moment,
though it can also apply to Windows when we get multi-arch builds
working.
This required renaming our Go binaries from .amd64 to .x64 to comply
with electron-builder's naming conventions.
