This pull request introduces a new feature that automatically shows the release notes to users the first time they run the app after an update, unless the user disables this behavior in the settings. To support this, two new settings have been added: one to track the last known build number and another to allow users to disable the automatic release notes display. The release notes display logic has been integrated into both the Avalonia and WinUI code paths, and the settings UI has been updated to expose the new option.
Release notes display on update:
MainWindowViewModel.csandMainView.xaml.csto automatically show release notes after an update, only if the user hasn't disabled this feature. The logic checks the build number and updates it after showing the release notes.Settings infrastructure:
Added two new settings keys to the
SettingsEngine_Names.csenum:DisableReleaseNotesOnUpdateandLastKnownBuildNumber, and updated the key resolution logic to support them. [User interface updates:
Added a new checkbox to the general settings pages in both Avalonia (
General.axaml) and WinUI (General.xaml) to allow users to enable or disable the automatic display of release notes after an update.
