iwgtk 0.5

The first release in over a year and a half, with many changes and improvements! This is the first release that I consider more or less production-ready.

Dependency notes:

• The application has been ported to GTK4.
• iwd 1.28 or newer is required; indicator icons will not work properly with older iwd versions.
• adwaita-icon-theme or an equivalent icon package is required; the application no longer supplies its own icons.

Changelog:

• Indicator icons provide signal strength information via iwd's SignalLevelAgent API
• Indicator icons are shown for disabled adapters/devices
• Continue running indicator daemon if iwd goes down or if all devices are removed
• Do not launch additional windows if one is already open
• Do not launch window if iwd is down
• More stable UI (widgets no longer move around when changing mode, etc)
• Show distinct connect buttons for hidden networks
• Provide ability to hide passwords when entering them
• Tooltips for various UI elements
• More descriptive indicator icon tooltips which include the network's SSID
• More descriptive "connected" and "disconnected" messages which include the network's SSID
• Includes systemd unit file
• Station diagnostics via iwd's StationDiagnostic API
• Removed option for numerical signal strength display
• Changed application ID to org.twosheds.iwgtk

iwgtk 0.2

Changes from 0.1:

• Added iwgtk.desktop file
• Added man page

This is the initial release of iwgtk, a lightweight graphical wifi management utility for Linux. This release supports most of the functionality of iwctl, with the exception of hidden networks.

Some bugs and rough edges are likely at this point. Feedback, bug reports, and contributions are welcome.
