Change Avalonia's Task-based approach to WinForms' BackgroundWorker approach.
- Reduce number of calls to GetLibrary by adding the Library to the LibraryStats record.
- Remove instance queue. This is a database, after all, and is designed to be accessed and written to concurrently
- Reduce the number of calls to DbContexts.Create()
- Ensure that no LibationContext remains open across an await boundary. Multithread context access is the most likely culprit for past issues.
- Make all Update UserDefinedItem methods asynchronous.
- Update all project runtime targets
- Update all dependencies
- NOTE: Using Npgsql.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSQL RTM build from MyGet
- Delete unused pubxml files (they were made redundant by recent workflow changes)
- Replace Libation.sln with Libation.slnx
- Add `LIBATION_FILES_DIR` environment variable to specify LibationFiles directory instead of appsettings.json
- OptionsBase supports overriding setting
- Added `EphemeralSettings` which are loaded from Settings.json once and can be modified with the `--override` command parameter
- Added `get-setting` command
- Prints (editable) settings and their values. Prints specified settings, or all settings if none specified
- `--listEnumValues` option will list all names for a speficied enum-type settings. If no setting names are specified, prints all enum values for all enum settings.
- Prints in a text-based table or bare with `-b` switch
- Added `get-license` command which requests a content license and prints it as a json to stdout
- Improved `liberate` command
- Added `-force` option to force liberation without validation.
- Added support to download with a license file supplied to stdin
- Improve startup performance when downloading explicit ASIN(s)
- Fix long-standing bug where cover art was not being downloading
- Move all settings file logic into new LibationFiles class
- Configuration.LibationFiles is a singleton instance of the LibationFiles class.
- A LibationFiles instance is bound to a single appsettings.json path. All updates to LibationFiles location are updated in that appsettings.json file
- Unify initial setup and settings validation process
- Add LibationSetup which handles all startup validation of settings files and prompts users for setup if needed
- Added a new LibationUiBase.Tests test project with tests for various
- Add new repo variables
- `SIGN_MAC_APP_ON_VALIDATE` will force sign/notarize on the validate workflow (normally only done for releases)
- `WAIT_FOR_NOTARIZE` Causes the build-mac workflow to wait for apple to notarize the bundle so that it can be stapled. This is usually fast (1-2 mis), but can be very long and may cause workflow runners to time out.
This will break _Automatic_ updates for existing mac users (although I'm not sure it worked all that well to begin with. However, the update notification dialog has had a link to download the bundle manually for a long time now. Old users will still be notified of the new release and be given a direct link to download it.
