It has been a while...
Setup Tool 2026.04 and LibSTP3 Stable Release
So we are back with some rather big news...
LibSTP3
So we released our new library LibSTP3 back at April 10th and oh boy did this release touch on a lot of stuff.
In short: `LibSTP3 1.0.0` is now stable. This release succeeds `libstp2 1.3.0` with a new modular C/C++ library layout, expanded package and repository management, stronger validation and security defaults, improved automation and script metadata support, better system detection, and safer installer behavior. Upgrading requires moving to `#include <libstp3.h>` and `-lstp3`, and consumers should be recompiled for the new major version.
Setup Tool 2026.04
This is by far our biggest release yet, as we added a lot of new and exciting stuff.
In short: `setup-tool 2026.04.0.0` is now stable. This release succeeds `2025.10.0.5` with a major modernization of the project: migration to `LibSTP3`, a new ncurses TUI, a new desktop GUI, Ansible CLI and backend integration, dry-run support, richer theming, YAML-based special-date support, better upgrade workflows, improved GUI CLI and dependency-check behavior, and broad security hardening across command execution, validation, and automation paths.
