Introduce new package `Catswords.Phantomizer`
**Catswords.Phantomizer** is an HTTP-based dynamic-link library (DLL) loader designed for .NET applications.
It allows your application to fetch and load assemblies directly from your CDN (Azure Blob, S3, Cloudflare R2, etc.) at runtime, with optional GZip compression support.
Added two HttpClient instances to distinguish between legacy (no
Accept-Encoding) and modern compressed HTTP transfer behaviors.
- LegacyHttp:
Sends no Accept-Encoding header.
Used when requesting .dll.gz files, ensuring that the server delivers
the file exactly as-is without applying HTTP-level compression.
- Http:
Enables AutomaticDecompression and advertises Accept-Encoding
(gzip, deflate).
When the server supports HTTP content compression, even a regular .dll
file can be transmitted in compressed form and transparently
decompressed by the client.
This separation prevents ambiguities between:
- File-level compression (.dll.gz)
- Transport-level compression (Content-Encoding: gzip/deflate)
and ensures predictable behavior when downloading assemblies depending on
server capabilities.
To prevent partial or corrupt files on download failure, write the decompressed
stream to a temporary file first, and then atomically move it to the final
destination upon success.
In TryDownloadGzipToFile, modify the catch block to log the exception details
before returning false, instead of silently swallowing the error.
The code properly checks if _telemetryClient is null before tracking the event and uses the assembly version dynamically. However, the Version property of AssemblyName can be null, which would cause a NullReferenceException when calling .ToString().
Replaces manual disposal of InstancesForm with a 'using' statement to ensure proper resource management and exception safety when recording to the metadata database.
Removed the _filePath field and refactored zip file handling to pass file paths directly as parameters. Simplified the RunAppPackageFile workflow and eliminated redundant methods for improved clarity and maintainability.
Moved RecordFirstDeployTime from MainForm to Program for better separation of concerns. Updated instance directory creation and asset copying logic in Program.cs to support JS entrypoints, including library copying and first deploy time recording. Added a sleep call to helloworld.js for demonstration purposes.
Launcher now accepts a --file argument to run .js or .zip files directly from the command line. MainForm and Program.cs were refactored to support this, including new registry entries in setup.iss for file associations with WelsonJS Script extensions.
Extracted the code editor launch logic into a new LaunchEditor() method to reduce duplication. Both the button and menu item now use this method, and error handling for resource server startup is centralized.
Replaced the community link label with a button featuring an icon, and added a new button to start the editor with its own icon. Updated resource files and designer code to support these changes, and adjusted related event handlers and UI text for clarity.
Sets the 'Vary' header to 'Origin' for CORS responses to improve cache behavior. Replaces OutputStream.Close with Response.Close for proper response handling.
Replaces GetAllowedOrigins with TryParseAllowedOrigins to initialize allowed origins once during static construction. Adds logging for invalid ResourceServerPrefix values and stores allowed origins in a static field for improved efficiency.
Implemented CORS handling in ResourceServer, including preflight (OPTIONS) request handling and configurable allowed origins via the new ResourceServerAllowOrigins app setting. Updated resources and configuration files to support the new setting.
Replaces the single CriminalIP API integration with a new IP query system supporting both CriminalIP and AbuseIPDB providers. Updates configuration keys, resource files, and the editor UI to handle multiple API endpoints and keys. Refactors backend logic to aggregate and return results from both providers in a unified XML format, and updates the frontend to parse and display these results. Adds improved error handling and logging for IP query and WHOIS operations.
Introduces a new 'ChromiumAppMode' configuration option to launch Chromium in app mode when enabled. Renames 'ChromiumFileName' to 'ChromiumExecutablePath' in both code and configuration for clarity and consistency.
Changed log file naming to use <Namespace>.<random-6>.<PID>.log instead of including 'pid' in the filename. Moved file stream creation inside the Trace listener check. Reformatted and clarified the Format method for better readability and error handling.
TraceLogger now writes logs to a file in %APPDATA%\WelsonJS\Logs with a randomized suffix and process ID. If the log directory cannot be created, it falls back to the current directory. The logger also improves formatting and random suffix generation for log file names.
Introduces the ImageColorPicker resource tool for extracting color information from images via a POST API. Refactors ResourceServer and all resource tools to use async ServeResource methods, improving scalability and consistency. Updates JsSerializer with an engine-backed document store for efficient repeated JSON extraction.
