What's New

Tauri alpha 2 updates include a breaking error change in the runtime and a Linux libappindicator fix in the CLI.

Breaking Changes

  • `tauri_runtime::Error::CreateWindow` now carries the underlying error instead of just a string

Improvements

  • Bumped `windows` crate to 0.62
  • Upgraded to `tauri-cli@3.0.0-alpha.2`

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed `webview_version` reporting
  • Fixed Linux libappindicator probing on GTK 3 systems

Upgrade Notes

If upgrading `tauri-runtime-cef`, update error handling for `CreateWindow`. If upgrading `tauri-cli`, ensure the `linux-libappindicator` feature is enabled to prevent panics.
