Release - v2.2.4.0

Release Notes v2.2.4

Highlights: Smarter fuzzy search across every package list, fingerprint-auth interference detection with guided fixes, and a polished Recommended page that’s now opt-in. A brand-new alpha release of Shelly.Keys companion binary for GPG keyring bootstrapping.

🐚 Features

  • Shelly.Keys — new AOT-compiled CLI for one-shot GPG/pacman keyring initialization. Ships its own PKGBUILD, packaging workflow, and GlobalSettings for global keyserver configuration.
  • Recommended page — a new curated landing experience for package discovery (recomend page, JSON context, refreshed UI).
  • Package group search — search now resolves and lists pacman package groups alongside individual packages.
  • Sortable search columns in ShellySearch — click any column header to sort results.
  • Ctrl+F search shortcut wired into AurInstall, AurRemove, AurUpdate, PackageInstall, PackageManagement, PackageUpdate, and FlatpakInstall dialogs.
  • Fingerprint authentication detector — new FingerprintAuthDetector + FingerprintAuthState services automatically spot sudo/fprintd PAM interference and surface a helper banner and FingerprintFixDialog with guided remediation.
  • Build Date field added to AlpmPackage and shown in package details.
  • ilovecandy-style bottom bar — BottomBarRegion now conditionally renders ANSI markup or an ASCII fallback based on terminal capability.

⚡ Improvements

  • Smarter fuzzy matching across every list view — ListInstalled, ListAvailable, AurListInstalled, AurListUpdates now use a unified scoring filter.
  • ShellySearch refactor — scoring moved into a local MatchObject method, class made sealed, fields converted to locals.
  • InitializeCommand streamlined — leaner GPG config setup, optimized keyring creation, new trust-database update step, and Marshal.StringToCoTaskMemUTF8 / ThrowIfErrorString adoption.
  • CLI path resolution consolidated into a single central class, restricted to .slnx, rewritten with LINQ.
  • Auto-select first list item so users aren’t locked out of package details.
  • About dialog — added proper credit sections.
  • Privileged operation hint clarifies biometric support and suggests temporarily disabling fingerprint auth.
  • FingerprintAuthDetector — configurable PAM directories/service names, better include/substack handling, direct sudo hit checks, fprintd service integration, expanded tests.
  • FingerprintFixDialog — simplified copy, removed security warning and issue-reference button, tightened default height.
  • Recommended page is now opt-in — disabled by default, toggleable from settings.

🐞 Bug Fixes

  • Arch News order reversed — ArchNewsDialog now displays news items newest-first.
  • JsonException: 'P' is an invalid start of a value in GetAurPackageBuild resolved.
  • SearchPackagesAsync filter syntax corrected.
  • Bottom of lockout view no longer visually cut off.
  • AppImage .desktop — removed an invalid TryExec entry.
  • Renamed firmware version → Shelly version and made it required.
  • Added missing colon after Version and a missing space in installed-size output.
