Now there is more visible and consistent information such as the number
of patches and how far you're into the patching process. It's harder to
close or quit the window while patching to prevent errors, and
installing patches no longer freezes the window.
And fixes an issue where the boot component would never properly update.
Astra's own logs are now stored in a rotating log, the default message
format is improved. The client and DXVK now dump their logs in the same
place instead of in the game directory.
Now the asset updating process is parallelized (especially asset file
downloading). There's less wasteful usage of the patcher and game
version reading when no patches need to be installed.
The data directory has been rearranged, and all the Dalamud data is
stored separately, so it's no longer clogging up everything. Dalamud
logs (and our own logs, when that's implemented) now exist in
XDG_STATE_HOME, instead of the data directory.
The game directory now exists under the data directory, instead of
~/.wine. The user path is set before launching the game, and it now
exists under the data directory too. These are also prefixed to the
user and profile UUID that it belongs to.
The "keep patches" option is now implemented (which is off by default)
and it lives in the temporary directory now.
Giant commit overhauling the interface to use KDE's Kirigami framework,
which is based on Qt Quick. The logic is all but rewritten, allowing
accounts to be separate from profiles.
