🎉 Release v0.8.7

✨ Features:

• Now you can decide whether or not you wanna share your home folder during installation, a warning has been added to make sure the user understands the risks

Full Changelog: v0.8.6...v0.8.7

🎉 Release v0.8.6

✨ Features:

• You can now specify exactly where you'd like to install WinBoat, the requirement for space in /var is gone entirely (Thank you to the alpha testers for this feature)
• WinBoat will now remember its window position and size when you close it
• Added relog instructions to the Docker group pre-requisite entry
• Added an option for multi-monitor users where you can configure how you'd like multi-monitor support to work. MultiMon creates separate displays for each monitor, while Span stretches the display across all monitors. Try both and see what works best for you

🧩 Misc

• Removed the pre-requisite for ip_tables and iptable_nat modules, since they are not really needed except for network discovery, however now there's a shortcut on your Desktop to access your Linux files
• Migrate most of the Electron scripts & files to TS & ESM (except Node modules) rather than JS & CJS

🚧 Fixes

• CPU threads have been changed to physical cores everywhere, since this is what qemus/qemu expects from us

🔭 Alpha Release (Custom Folders)

This alpha release implements the possibility to pick a custom install location instead of WinBoat storing its VM data in a Docker volume. Additionally, in some places cores vs threads were very inconsistent, now everything uses physical cores as a measurement, since this is what dockur/windows (=> qemus/qemu) wants from us.

Full Changelog: v0.8.5...v0.8.6-alpha

• Bumped dockur/windows version to 5.03 and removed CPU arguments since now they're included by default for AMD (thanks @kroese)
• Added better instructions for when the installation fails telling the user to also check their Docker logs
• Added a helpful tooltip when the Guest Server is offline which redirects you to troubleshooting steps
