UniGetUI (formerly WingetUI) 3.1.0 alpha 0

IMPORTANT:
This is the first development release to implement the UniGetUI rebranding.
Instaling this release will automatically migrate settings and other data to new folders (WingetUI -> UniGetUI), so rolling back to older versions of WingetUI may cause settings to be reset.

Changes

• Rebranding from WingetUI to UniGetUI
  • Any occurrences of WingetUI have been changed to UniGetUI
  • Settings have been moved from user profile to AppData\Local
• Improvements to the package managers
  • All dotnet-based package managers do call the nuget api when possible. This dramatically speeds up find packages and loading package details, as well as provides more reliability.
  • All dotnet-based packages will load the official package icon
  • WinGet implements the WinGet COM Api, for improved performance and reliability. WinGet packages do not show elypsis (...) anymore.
  • Microsoft Store packages (currently msix only) will show icons and screenshots
  • The icon caching mechanism has been rebuilt from the grounds up, providing more compatibility with Widgets for WingetUI
• Improvements to Software pages
• Better search experience on the Discover Software page
• Refactoring. Lots of refactoring
• Other improvements and internal changes.

WingetUI 3.0.0

Important note: WingetUI will soon become UnigetUI. Please see #1900 for more details

Changelog

WingetUI has been redesigned entirely. WingetUI is now built with WinUI3 on top of .NET 8. This redesign brings not only a brand new interface, but also an improved backend. The major highlights are:

• Smoother, more responsive interface. Aesthetics and accessibility have been greatly improved.
• The backend has been improved. Packages now load faster and more reliably, providing a more straight-forward experience.
• Importing and exporting packages got a big upgrade: Lists of packages can now be opened, edited and exported again. A new Package Bundles section has been added to the interface.

WingetUI has been redesigned from scratch, therefore, this upgrade brings tons of other improvements and new features that are not going to be listed here. You can check the full changelog or download WingetUI 3.0.0 and start experiencing the best WingetUI ever right now
