Merged
Conversation
Added new methods for branch menu interactions and Git checkout functionality. Improved code organization.
Added new Git menu items and separators in MainDialog. Updated SetupBranchMenu to use the new gitToolStripMenuItem. Introduced event handlers for fetch and pull functionality. Updated resource files to reflect UI changes and maintain consistency.
Added a check in `GitTimer_Tick` to prevent execution when the main window is not focused, improving user experience. Updated `TaskScheduler` package from version `2.10.1` to `2.12.1` for potential bug fixes and enhancements.
Modified the `UpdateList` method in `MainDialog.Utilities.cs` to accept a boolean parameter `updateGitStatus`, enabling conditional fetching of Git status. Updated multiple calls to `UpdateList()` in `MainDialog.cs` to pass the appropriate boolean value, improving control over Git status updates during solution loading and item merging.
Introduced `FetchGitStatusAsync` to retrieve git status without blocking the UI. Replaced synchronous calls to `FetchGitStatus` with the new async method, enhancing application responsiveness. Refactored the original method into `FetchGitStatusBackground` for background processing and UI thread updates.

Replaced BinaryFormatter with System.Text.Json for serializing and deserializing ObjectListView state, improving security and modernizing the codebase. Updated using directives accordingly. Also changed the project target framework from net8.0 to net8.0-windows in ObjectListView2022.csproj, and added a missing System.Reflection using directive in VirtualObjectListView.cs.
Changed the target framework in BackgroundLaunch.csproj from 'net8.0-windows10.0.17763.0' to 'net8.0', removing the explicit Windows version requirement. This may improve compatibility across different Windows versions.
Changed the target framework in BackgroundLaunch.csproj from net8.0 to net8.0-windows7.0 to specify compatibility with Windows 7. No other project settings were modified.
- Introduced a Git credentials provider using environment variable VSLX_GIT_PAT or Windows integrated authentication for LibGit2Sharp operations. - Enhanced branch checkout, fetch, and pull actions to support credential-aware remote operations, improving error handling for authentication issues. - Updated .NET target framework to net8.0 and upgraded several NuGet package dependencies, including LibGit2Sharp, Newtonsoft.Json, System.Management, TaskScheduler, and WindowsAPICodePack. - Removed GoogleDriveStorage.cs and its related Google.Apis.Drive.v3 package, eliminating experimental Google Drive settings sync. - Improved VisualStudioCombobox and dlgExecuteVisualStudio.cs to handle selected index logic more robustly. - Simplified VirtualObjectListView.cs by replacing reflection-based virtual list size setting with direct base property assignment.
The System.Management NuGet package version was changed from 9.0.10 to 8.0.0 in the VSLauncherX.csproj file. All other package references remain unchanged.
Changed the target framework in VSLauncherX.csproj from net8.0 to net8.0-windows7.0 to specify compatibility with Windows 7. No other project settings were modified.
Introduce a feature in `MainDialog.Utilities.cs` to load and cache Personal Access Tokens (PATs) from a configuration file, ensuring thread-safe access and prioritizing credential resolution. Add a sample configuration file `git-credentials.sample.json` to demonstrate the JSON structure for PATs. Update `dotnet-upgrade-report.md` to document the upgrade of projects to .NET 8.0, including framework changes, NuGet package updates, and a summary of related commits. Highlight project-specific upgrades, such as credential-aware Git operations and state serialization migration. Suggest next steps for further improvements.
Introduces a user-selectable dark mode, including a new ThemeHelper for applying light and dark palettes across the UI. Adds a DarkMode setting and checkbox in the settings dialog, with persistence.
