V2.8.4 - The Security Hardening & Core Migration

Yo, V2.8.4 is live. We didn't just fix bugs, we tore the architecture apart and put it back together the right way. Why? Because the old codebase was getting too messy and I have zero patience for maintaining unoptimized code.

The Great Core Migration

We ripped the entire logic out of the Desktop App and shoved it into a dedicated library (EasyExtract.Core).

• Single Source of Truth: The entire extraction and security logic is now centralized. No more scattered code, just one solid core library driving everything.
• No more Spaghetti: UnityPackageExtractionService, MaliciousCodeDetectionService, and all models are now cleanly sitting in the Core lib.
• Modernization: We yeeted the old trash (legacy extraction code) and polished everything to .NET 9 standards.

Safety by Default (Don't get pwned)

Before, the scanner just said "Eh, might be a virus, go ahead". That's trash.

• Blocking UI: If our scanner detects malware or suspicious scripts, the "Extract" button gets blocked immediately. Red banner, full alert.
• Force Extract: If you really want to destroy your PC (or you know exactly what you're doing), you have to explicitly click "Force Extract (Danger)". We won't stop you, but we warned you.

Under the Hood

• MVVM Upgrade: Upgraded ViewModels to CommunityToolkit.Mvvm v8 standards. No more RaiseCanExecuteChanged boomer code, we use NotifyCanExecuteChanged now.
• Command Fixes: The RelayCommand<T> type check was a bit lost, fixed that.
• Scanner Cleanup: Cleaned up the IEasyExtractLogger interface and killed unnecessary dependencies. The code is lean and fast now.

V2.8.3

V2.8.3 - The Native Comeback (Done Right) & Linux Love

Yo, V2.8.3 is live. We did a 180° turn on the engine room... again. If you've been following the changelogs, you know we tried native .NET extraction before and ditched it for SharpZipLib. Well, turns out SharpZipLib started causing more headaches than it solved (RIP Illegal rep dist code).

So we went back to Native .NET 9, but this time we actually cooked. The implementation is fully rewritten, optimized, and way better than our first attempt.

The "Native" Refactor

• SharpZipLib is Gone: We yeeted the entire library. We rewrote the Core Extraction Engine using pure .NET 9 System.Formats.Tar & System.IO.Compression.
  • Done Right: Unlike our first native attempt way back, this implementation is fully robust and battle-tested.
  • Stability: The crashes caused by weird GZip streams are history.
  • Zip Slip Protection: Added strict validation to ensure no package can extract files outside the target folder.
  • Responsive Cancellation: We plumbed CancellationToken support all the way down. If you click "Cancel" now, the extraction stops immediately. No more waiting for the current file to finish.

Linux Improvements

• X11 Compatibility: We added specific X11PlatformOptions for our Linux users.
• DBus Fixes: Disabled the DBus menu and file picker integration to prevent crashes and weird behavior on certain distros. It should run much smoother now.

Fixes & Stability

• Settings Amnesia Fixed: The app sometimes reset your settings to default because it choked on date formats from different system locales. We added a SafeDateTimeOffsetConverter that makes the JSON parsing bulletproof. No more data loss.
• Legacy Encoding Support: Added CodePagesEncodingProvider to the startup logic. If you have ancient .zip files from 2005 using Windows-1252 encoding, they will finally extract correctly without broken Umlauts.
• Dev Workflow: Fixed a NotInstalledException from Velopack that was annoying us in the logs when running in a dev environment.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/HakuSystems/EasyExtractUnitypackage/compare/V2.8.2...V2.8.3

V2.8.2 - Velopack Auto-Updates & Zip Support

Yo, V2.8.2 is here. This is a massive one. We finally killed the legacy update system (rest in piss) and replaced it with Velopack. This means actual, robust auto-updates that don't suck. Also, because some of you keep downloading .zip files containing Unity packages instead of .unitypackage files, we added support for that too.

Features

• Velopack Integration (Auto-Updates): The old UpdateService was spaghetti trash, so we nuked it. We integrated Velopack.
  • Updates are now delta-based (faster downloads).
  • Installation is handled automatically on restart.
  • Added a proper Setup.exe for Windows. No more manual extracting like it's 2010.
• Zip-Based Unity Package Support: You can now drop a .zip file that contains a .unitypackage directly into the app.
  • Implemented DetectPackageFormat to figure out if you're feeding us a gzip tar or a zip.
  • ResolveFromZip handles the extraction and cleanup automatically.
  • Temporary directories are wiped clean via CleanupTemporaryDirectory after we're done. No clutter left behind.

Refactors & Cleanup

• Codebase Purge: Removed the entire legacy update logic (UpdateService, UpdatePhase, UpdateManifest). Thousands of lines of dead code gone. The app is lighter and cleaner.
• Dependency Cleanup: Removed unused namespaces and dependencies related to the old installer.

V2.0.8.1 - Error Handling on Steroids & Disk Space Checks

Yo, V2.0.8.1 is live. We completely overhauled the error handling because the old system was basically trash. If things go south now, you get proper feedback instead of a silent crash. We also finally check if your drive is full before trying to write files.

Features

• New Error Dialog System: We built a full ErrorDialogService and ErrorDialogWindow. If the app crashes or throws an error, you now get a clean window. You can copy error details or open the logs directly. Way better for debugging, trust me.
• Disk Space Protection: We implemented a DiskSpaceHelper. Before writing files (in UnityPackageExtractionService or AppSettingsService), we check if there is actual space left. If your SSD is full, we tell you via a clean IOException instead of just dying completely lost.

Fixes & Improvements

• Everything SDK Stability: The initialization for the Everything SDK was a bit moody. We now catch ServiceUnavailable and HttpRequestException properly. If the service is down, you'll know why.
• Logging Control: The LoggingService now has granular control for webhooks. We don't spam everything blindly anymore; we can decide what's important via forwardToWebhook. Less spam, more value.
• UI Cleanup: Removed some test buttons (ERR-Test) we used for debugging. Code is clean again.

V2.0.8.0 - Smarter Detection & Stable Core

Yo, V2.0.8.0 is live. We completely reworked the format handling. Bro, if you had issues with weird files before, it is fixed now. Realtalk, we now check much better what you are trying to extract and we do not crash anymore just because your file is trash.

Features

• Multi Format Detection: The tool is way smarter now. We detect Gzip, Zip, RAR, 7z, and UnityFS automatically via DetectPackageFormat. Before, it was just wild guessing, now we know what is up. We built a UnityPackageFormatDetector for this so the code does not look like a mess.
• Robust Security Scan: If a file is completely lost (InvalidDataException), the security scan does not crash the whole process anymore. We just skip the file with a warning and the UI shows you that. That's it.

Fixes & Improvements

• Better Error Handling: If you try to load broken .unitypackage or invalid TAR files, we catch that. We tell you exactly why your file is garbage instead of just crashing. We put some proper logging in there.
• JSON Performance: Refactored the ExtractedPackageModel logic to JsonDocument. It is more performant and maintainable. The old iterative stuff was terrible, now it runs clean.
• Mac Home Directory: For the Apple users, we centralized the logic on how we find the home directory (ResolveMacHomeDirectory). No duplicate code, everything clean.

V2.0.7.9

This update refines the error handling pipeline to improve debugging efficiency.

We have restructured how version information is passed during logging events. By moving the version identifier from the webhook payload directly into the log entries, we ensure cleaner message formatting while maintaining precise context for tracking bugs across specific builds.

Changes:

• Refactor: Removed the version string from the HakuWebhookClient payload to sanitize the webhook output.
• Enhancement: Added explicit application versioning to LoggingService.Async entries. This ensures every log is traceable to its specific build version, speeding up the debugging process.

Recommended Update for all users to ensure consistent log reporting.

v2.0.7.8 - Extraction History & Robust Retry Logic

Yo, v2.0.7.8 is here. We added some memory to this thing. We are now tracking what you extract so you do not get lost in your own files. Also, we fixed the file locking issues that were crashing downloads on busy systems.

Features

• Extraction History: We introduced ExtractedPackageModel. The app now tracks the file name, extraction path, and date of your extracted packages. Was broken before.
• Smart GZip Handling: Implemented GZip magic byte validation. We now check the header bytes before assuming it is a GZip stream. Saves time and prevents errors.

Fixes & Improvements

• File Lock Retry Logic: This is the big one. We added a retry mechanism with exponential backoff for asset downloads. If a file is locked or the disk is busy, the app waits and tries again instead of crashing immediately.
• JSON Serialization: Refactored the ExtractedPackageModel serialization. We replaced the generic approach with explicit property handling. It is cleaner and safer now.
• Webhooks: The webhook payload now actually includes the version info.

v2.0.7.7 - Core Rewrite & Insane Limit Increase

Yo, we cooked. Version 2.0.7.7 is out and it is actually huge. We replaced the entire compression engine under the hood because the standard .NET one was annoying us. Also, we bumped the limits to numbers you will probably never reach, but if you do, we got you covered.

New Features (Limits are crazy now)

• Expanded Extraction Limits: We realized the old limits were for babies.
  • Asset Size: Default is now 2 GB. Max is 100 GB.
  • Package Size: Default is 16 GB. Max is 1 TB. If your package is 1 TB, you have other problems, but we support it now.
  • Asset Count: Default max increased to 100,000 files. Legacy settings auto-upgrade. That is it.

Technical Refactors (The smart stuff)

• SharpZipLib Migration: We kicked GZipStream and System.Formats.Tar out of the window. We are now using SharpZipLib for everything (GZipInputStream & TarInputStream). This means better stability, better UTF-8 support, and fewer crashes with weird archive formats.
• JSON Serialization: Added SafeWindowStateConverter and JsonStringEnumConverter. Your settings and window states should stop acting weird now.
• MacOS Robustness: Added better error handling and fallback logic for service registration on Mac.

Bug Fixes

• Path Handling: Fixed an issue in TryGetAssetPaths. We now use _normalizedOutputDirectory to make sure your files actually land where they are supposed to land.

EasyExtractUnitypackage V2.0.7.6

The "Clean Up Your Shit" Update

Last time everything was new and shiny, this time we cleaned up the backend trash. You might not see anything new visually, but under the hood, it's burning way less now. Yeah, that's the move.

Technical Refactors

We threw out the entire old DiscordWebhookNotifier. That thing was legacy garbage and unprofessional. Instead, everything runs via HakuWebhookClient now.

• API instead of Direct Links: We aren't blasting direct Discord Webhook URLs around anymore. It's all clean via Haku API Integration for Error Reports and Feedback now. Way more secure.
• Code Cleanup: The FeedbackService is chilling now. We simplified the logic and handed off payload processing to HakuWebhookClient. Less spaghetti code.
• Error Handling: If things go south during webhook dispatch, we get proper logs and exception tracing. So we actually know what went down when you inevitably break it.

Bug Fix: Invalid Path Syntax in Unity Package Extraction

Issue:
Users encountered an error stating "The file name, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect" when attempting to extract Unity packages.

Fix Implemented:

• Added a check to detect and remove invisible Unicode characters in the path before moving extracted files.
• Removed any "00" appended to file extensions (e.g., .mat00 to .mat).
