Neutralinojs Files

What's new

API: clipboard

• Implement clipboard.writeHTML(html) and clipboard.readHTML() functions to write/read HTML strings

API: os

• Adding envs key-value pair parameter to the options of the os.execCommand(command, options) function to set specific environment variables for the child process.

• Change the os.spawnProcess(command, cwd) to os.spawnProcess(command, options) to set environment variables and the current working directory via the options object for the spawned child process:

  :::js // e.g.: await Neutralino.os.spawnCommand('env', { cwd: NL_PATH, envs: { VAR1: 'var1', VAR2: 'var2' } });

API: filesystem

• Add the timestamp (ISO 8601) property to the watchFile event's data payload to identify when a specific file watcher event occurred.

• Implement filesystem.setPermissions(path, permissions, mode) and filesystem.getPermissions(path) functions to set/get file permissions in a cross-platform way:

  :::js // e.g.: await Neutralino.filesystem.setPermissions(NL_PATH + '/my-directory-1', {ownerRead: true, groupRead: true}); await Neutralino.filesystem.setPermissions(NL_PATH + '/my-directory-2', {all: true}); await Neutralino.filesystem.setPermissions(NL_PATH + '/my-directory-3', {otherAll: true}, 'REMOVE');

  const permissions = await Neutralino.filesystem.getPermissions(NL_PATH); // permissions -> {all:.., ownerRead, ownerWrite...}

  Core: extensions

• Extensions are now loaded internally using the os.spawnProcess() function without triggering process events. This modification displays extension logs within the Windows terminal and lets app developers control extensions using the existing spawn process API.

Security

• Improve the NL_TOKEN generation algorithm to strengthen security using the C++ std::mt19937 random number generator.

Improvements/bugfixes

• Fix framework crashing when creating the .tmp directory under restricted file manipulation permissions.
• Fix several issues in the Windows-specific GUI notification implementation of the os.showNotification() function.
• Fix invalid utf8 character handling issues in several native APIs (i.e., os.spawnProcess('./bin') crashed if bin output "ä\xA9ü")

Update the config file option cli.binaryVersion with 6.0.0 and enter neu update to fetch this version.
