Molybden 1.7.0: Velopak installer on Windows

Starting from this version, Molybden SDK uses Velopak to build the app installer on Windows. In the previous versions, the SDK uses Squirrel which has a few critical issues and limitations. For example, it’s not possible to sign the installer to make it trusted by Windows SmartScreen.

Velopak is a modern and actively maintained installer framework that allows making a single EXE installer and auto-updater for your app.

Fixes and enhancements 

Apart from updating the installer framework, we also made a few fixes and enhancements:

  • Allow customizing the application display name on Windows. The display name is used in the app list during search. It can be different from the app process name.
  • Fixed issue when the app widget in Settings → Apps → Installed apps contains the default application icon on Windows.
  • Removed the unexpected black border around the window when applying the vibrancy effect on macOS.
  • Chromium has been upgraded to version 135.0.7049.96.
