Release 2.4.0

Summary

This release is focused on quality-of-life improvements and bugfixes.

New Features

• You can now select multiple folders at once when adding existing projects to the VCC.

Changes

• The repository cache files inside the Repos folder now use the listing's id instead of a randomly generated string for the filename.
  • If there is an id defined in the listing, the file is named <id>-<first 8 symbols of a uuid>.json
  • If id is not defined, the file is named <uuid>.json.
    • This may be the case if a listing is very old.
  • The Creator Companion automatically migrates to the new cache file naming on launch.
  • This addresses #257.
• The Creator Companion and the VCC CLI now use .NET 8 instead of .NET 6.
  • .NET 6 is no longer supported. .NET8 includes bug fixes and security improvements.
  • If you do not have .NET 8 installed on your system, download it from the official .NET website.
    • Download for Windows
    • Download for Linux.
    • Download for macOS: Intel Mac, Apple Silicon Mac.
  • For macOS, the VCC CLI keeps the current data path used settings and cache files: $HOME/.local/share/VRChatCreatorCompanion
    • This addresses #522 and #532.
  • Adding api.github.com request headers for community repositories is now faster.
    • The Accept and Authorization headers are now pre-filled, so you only need to insert the token.
    • All visible headers are now automatically added without clicking the "Add" button each time.

Bugfixes

• The Creator Companion is now more resilient to situations where the default VCC ports are taken. It will try to bind to another open port multiple times.
  • Fixes #528.
• Fixed an issue where an empty project manifest would prevent the Projects list from loading.
  • Fixes this canny issue.
• Fixed the "Copy Logs" button on the corrupted settings error screen not copying the logs correctly.
  • Fixes #526.
• Fixed an issue where a failure to parse a Unity Editor version via VCC CLI would result in a crash.
  • Addresses one of the issues mentioned in #408.
• The Creator Companion now correctly updates the localPath values in the settings.json for the userRepos in cases where the path is wrong or the repo file does not exist.
