Windows support

The beta brings support for Microsoft Windows as the highlight feature

Changes:

• Added Windows support (tested on Windows 10)
• Added notification for available updates
• Add visual feedback when mousing over tiles & clicking
• New packages:
  • Linux:
    • Snap (pending approval in the snap store)
  • Windows:
    • Installer exe
    • Portable
• New website
• Much misc. code cleanup & minor improvements

Time to fly! or at least to Flutter :)

A completely new version of Nyrna written in Dart & Flutter.
(Linux only so far)

• Graphical user interface - Click the tile of the application to suspend/resume
• See applications' suspended status at a glance (green: normal, orange: suspended)
• Suspend multiple applications at once
• Optionally set a hotkey in your OS to launch Nyrna with the --toggle or -t flag if you wish to simply toggle a single foreground application's suspend state - like the older versions of Nyrna
  • Example (KDE): Settings -> Shortcuts -> Custom Shortcuts -> Edit -> New -> Global Shortcut -> Command/URL -> Action: ~/Applications/nyrna/nyrna -t
  • Note that currently this doesn't work reliably if the Nyrna GUI is already running
  • Native hotkey support may be added at a later time (global hotkey hooks are hard)

Microsoft Windows support for Nyrna is planned next heading towards the full 2.0 milestone.

The Clean Look (alpha)

Preview of new feature: applications minimize when suspending, restore when resuming.

Plan is to have this be an option.

Linux only for the moment.

1.3

Added

• About button with version number and link to changelog. Credit Ivo Šmerek

Changed

• Fixed typo in README & added CRIU link. Credit Dalton Duvio
• When an error gets printed for debug it is more clear that line is about an error.

Fixed

• Would fail in some cases to find the real wine process when using a wine virtual desktop.
• Would try to suspend with process 0. Now if it gets process 0 it will send a notifcation about an error and not try to suspend.
• Added libxkbcommon-x11 to makedepends in PKGBUILD for Arch / Manjaro

Also added a donate button to the GitHub page. There have been multiple requests for new features like suspending multiple applications at once, and I have not been able to work on Nyrna because all of my time and energy has had to go towards income generating work. If donations allow Nyrna to generate even a small amount of income I will be able to put further hours into fixes and features. <3

Windows Support Release

Added

• Support for Microsoft Windows (tested on Windows 10)

Changed

• Improved debug message clarity
• Improved reliability of PKGBUILD for Arch / Manjaro
• Code cleanup

Fixed

• Previous hotkey will no longer be active after choosing a new one

On Windows there is a brief flash of console when invoking the hotkey, seems to be a limitation of Windows.

v1.1.1

Changed

• Improved debug messages for suspend on linux

Fixed

• Added $srcdir to pkgbuild for Arch / Manjaro, as well as better path for .desktop and .icon for reliable builds

Nyrna v1.1

Added

• Basic notification support (paused / unpaused / error / etc)
• Ability to easily rebind hotkey (right click tray icon -> Change Hotkey)
• Save configuration support (remembers new hotkey on next launch)

Changed

• Misc code cleanup

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where Nyrna would fail to parse a Wine Emulated Desktop in some cases

Now that Nyrna feels to me at a stage where is has good user-friendliness and does its job well, the next goal is to add support for Windows. I am hoping this task will be shorter since most of the groundwork has been already laid out, and as much as possible was written as cross-platform from the beginning.
