Users can now open a diff for a specific search hit directly from the global search results. The original search query will be highlighted within the diff view, making it easier to locate the relevant changes.
Additionally, add `--no-textconv` to git commands used in search and diff operations. This prevents failures when git encounters binary files that textconv drivers might otherwise attempt to process.
When executing Git commands on Windows, a console window would briefly flash. This change applies the CREATE_NO_WINDOW flag to prevent this, providing a smoother user experience.
This change introduces a comprehensive auto-update mechanism for the application and significant improvements to the integrated Git client experience.
Key features include:
- **Automated Release Workflow:** A new Gitea Actions workflow (`app_builder.yaml`) and a Python `cicd_tool` are added to automatically build, sign, and upload release artifacts to S3-compatible storage (MinIO) upon a new release. This also generates the `latest.json` file required by the updater.
- **Tauri Updater Integration:** The `tauri-plugin-updater` is integrated into the application, enabling it to check for and apply updates seamlessly.
- **Robust Git Push Handling:** The application now intelligently handles non-fast-forward push failures by prompting the user to perform a pull/merge operation before re-attempting the push.
- **Enhanced File Comparison:** A new `compare_file_to_parent` command is introduced, allowing detailed file diffs against a commit's direct parent, including the "empty tree" for initial commits.
- **Explorer Panel Improvements:** "Expand All" and "Collapse All" functionality is added to the file explorer for better navigation.
