Features

  • Proper window revealing when window is hidden
    • This means no more half-assed popup saying "there is another instance running!". It will just reveal that instance like it always should've.
  • Multi-profile
    • Under "Dorion Settings" is a new "Profiles" tab. Create and switch profiles with ease! (for switching to alt accounts, for example)
    • Use this sparingly. The way it currently works (and I promise I am working on making it better) is that it creates an entirely seperate webcache folder per profile. Many of these can add up in terms of storage quickly. (and yes, I've tried sym-links. They get overwritten 😔 )
  • Webcache clearing button
  • Hide the download button at the bottom of the server list
  • DevTools enabled in release builds
  • Fix Google fonts in themes

An Update / Road to 1.0

Technically, there have now been 26 releases of Dorion published! It's come a very long way, and yet... we aren't even at 1.0....

Why?

Dorion has a lot of somewhat advanced features, yet it lacks some basic necessities. This is mostly me putting off the boring/simple-problem-complex-solution fixes so I can put time into the fun features, but it's about time I actually crack down on these.

What needs to be done?

  • Fixing all the problems people are having with links
  • Fixing notification icons

What else is coming?

(not necessarily at, before, or after 1.0, just things that are TODO/in progress)

  • Fixing some extraneous plugins that require external libraries
  • Make profiles system more efficient
  • Integrated RPC server for use with arRPC (in progress, see rsRPC)
  • Have server invites open Dorion, just like regular Discord

What does this mean?

Not much, really. Expect Dorion releases to slow down a little bit while I iron out some of the less interesting, but vital, changes (like all of those link-related issues. There's like, three now!). Other than a few hotfixes that may pop up, expect the next real release to be a real, actual, v1.0.0 release, but don't expect it within the next day or whatever.

Like has always been the case: contributions, issues, etc. are always welcome. Those who make issues are the people who shape Dorion into what it should be, rather than something that is just good enough for me (which it has been, for a while). Also feel free to join the discord if you want to ask questions or keep up-to-date.

Thanks for using Dorion! :)
