v26.1.9

https://itchio.itch.io/itch

Please Note: This will be the last version of the app compatible with Windows 7 and 8.

This release upgrades a number of dependencies, especially Electron (to version 22), to resolve some lingering security issues. It also includes some performance and efficiency improvements.

The logic for game updates has changed. The app will check for updates any time you view a game page or run a game. You can check your full library for game updates at any time in the Preferences menu via the "Check for game updates" action.

v25.4.0

This release contains macOS compatibility fixes, Software License Agreement support, improved logging and bug fixes.

• DMG files are now always downloaded to disk, then extracted with hdiutil. This adds support for uncommon DMG filesystems (like ISO9660), APFS filesystems (which 7-zip didn't support)
• Any software license agreement (~EULA) contained in a .dmg file will now be extracted and shown on launch until it is accepted. Cancelling the launch does not accept the license. So you can accept it or uninstall the software. (This was tested with Game Dev Tycoon and Aseprite).
• A lot more operations are now logged in the application log file (appdata/logs/itch.txt). This should hopefully help pinpoint issues with third-party Antivirus software and API access issues.
• A bug where if an Antivirus prevented installing dependencies (like butler and itch-setup), the app would stay stuck in "Finishing installation..." forever has been fixed. It now detects and reports the error.
• Logs for the whole setup phase are now collected in memory and can be sent via the feedback form.
• Various additional places let you send feedback with logs / error details attached
• Communication with butler has been switched from HTTP to TCP, among with other changes, which fixes a bug where when the itch app updated butler and switched over to the new version, the old version would keep running, and there were two download drivers. As a result, the Downloads window could appear stuck, and operations were done twice behind the scenes.
• Pages with very long names were displayed poorly in the app, @porglezomp helped fix this!

v25.3.0

This releases fixes an issue on Linux where the itch app wouldn't start up on stock Ubuntu 18.10 installations. (It now vendors the libgconf library).

It also adds the ability to add an install location while queuing a game for install.
