Minigalaxy: version 1.4.2 released with critical bugfix

Minigalaxy, an unofficial GOG client for Linux, has been released in version 1.4.2.

The release fixes a critical bug: after GOG changed its API, users were no longer able to load their game library. The developers recommend everyone update to this release.

  • Critical bugfix: Use another API to determine game platform support (thanks to GB609)
  • UI improvement: Show games in the library incrementally when starting (thanks to GB609)
  • Reduce unnecessary writes to the config file. (thanks to GB609)
  • Fix a possible exception during game installation not being handled correctly.
  • Logs are now also written to ~/.cache/minigalaxy/minigalaxy.log.
  • Ask the user which binary to launch if Minigalaxy is unsure.
  • The wine executable can now also be changed before a game is installed (thanks to GB609).
  • Resolve deprecation/syntax warnings and quiet test output noise. (thanks to slowsage)
  • Switch to using PEP 302 compliant resources, excluding translations. (thanks to EmperorArthur)
  • Allow installing Minigalaxy via pipx. (thanks to EmperorArthur)
  • Switch debian builds to using pybuild-plugin-pyproject. (thanks to EmperorArthur)
  • Set minimum Python version to 3.11. (thanks to EmperorArthur)
