GemShell v0.6.0 Changelog

🚀 Performance & Architecture

• Custom protocol instead of HTTP server – completely new asset serving. Faster, no more port conflicts
• 500 fewer LOC – removed
• Updated: tao 0.30 → 0.34, wry 0.46 → 0.53 for better stability

🐧 Linux Fixes (reported Bug, Game was not showing)

• GTK rendering fix – gtk::init() for correct WebView rendering
• NVIDIA compatibility – env variables for Linux Mint, GTK4
• Launcher script – automatic workarounds for WebKitGTK

✨ New Features

• gemcore.config.json – persistent game settings directly in the game folder
  • Rebuild with the same settings
  • Manually editable
  • exclude for excluding files/folders from builds
• CDN bundling – bundle external scripts from jsdelivr, unpkg, etc. locally for offline use (new checkbox in Game Settings)
• Smart folder detection – automatically find index.html in subfolders
• Native confirmation dialogs – when removing games from the recent list

🛠️ Improvements

• Dynamic build progress – only shows the selected platforms
