Version 0.2.0 | @OldValencia

🚀 Major Overhaul & Renaming

Loom is now Spark! The application core has been completely rewritten from scratch to be faster, lighter, and more deeply integrated with the system.

⚡ Performance & Engine Upgrades

  • Goodbye JCEF, Hello Native Webview: The heavy Chromium Embedded Framework (JCEF) is gone. It has been replaced by a lightning-fast native Webview engine.
  • Massive Size Reduction: Since CEF is no longer required, the application data folder size has plummeted from ~500 MB to nearly zero. The installer is also significantly smaller.
  • JavaFX Migration: The entire user interface was rebuilt from the ground up using JavaFX, enabling smooth animations and a modern, responsive dock.

🖥️ OS Support

  • Windows First: The Windows version is fully stable, offering a highly optimized and lightweight experience.
  • Note on macOS: To maintain high-quality standards, macOS support is temporarily disabled in this release during the adaptation of the new Webview engine. It will return in future updates.
