Wails v3.0.0-alpha.72

Wails v3 Alpha Release - v3.0.0-alpha.72

Fixed

• Fix 20-30 minute hangs during wails3 build and wails3 dev by excluding node_modules/ from go-task's up-to-date checking. Previously, the sources: "**/*" glob caused go-task to enumerate and checksum every file in node_modules/ (50-100k+ files with heavy dependencies like MUI), especially slow on Windows/NTFS (#4939)

Wails v3 Alpha Release - v3.0.0-alpha.68

Added

• Add Web API examples in v3/examples/web-apis/ demonstrating 41 browser APIs including Storage (localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB, Cache API), Network (Fetch, WebSocket, XMLHttpRequest, EventSource, Beacon), Media (Canvas, WebGL, Web Audio, MediaDevices, MediaRecorder, Speech Synthesis), Device (Geolocation, Clipboard, Fullscreen, Device Orientation, Vibration, Gamepad), Performance (Performance API, Mutation Observer, Intersection/Resize Observer), UI (Web Components, Pointer Events, Selection, Dialog, Drag and Drop), and more
• Add WebView API compatibility checker example (v3/examples/webview-api-check/) that tests 200+ browser APIs across platforms
• Add internal/libpath package for finding native library paths on Linux with parallel search, caching, and support for Flatpak/Snap/Nix
