We need to exec() Python from a GUI context so that the app name and
icon are inherited from our launcher bundle. And we need to munge
sys.argv[0] prior to main window instantiation so that we don't get
app menu entries like "Hide -c". We do that in the launcher instead
of __init__.py so that older versions display correctly too.
* CHANGE right-click in the editor to show option to open folder in linux
* FIX checks
* Use heuristics
* ./ninja format
* Use fallback from main instead of xdg-open
- Launcher can now be accessed via Tools>Upgrade/Downgrade
- Anki closes automatically on update
- When launcher not available, show update link like in the past
- It appears that access to the modern console host requires an app
to be built with the windows console subsystem, so we introduce an
extra anki-console.exe binary to relaunch ourselves with. Solves

- Windows now requires you to close the terminal like on a Mac,
as I couldn't figure out how to have it automatically close. Suggestions
welcome!
- Reduce the amount of duplicate/near-duplicate code in the various
platform files, and improve readability
- Add a helper to install the current code into the launcher env
- Fix cargo test failing to build on ARM64 Windows
- Use --locked to assert that the lockfile won't change, so we need
to explicitly 'uv lock' when making changes. Still trying to get to
the bottom of why the lockfile sometimes has editable entries, which
break things when switching between platforms.
- Exclude __pycache__ from wheels
- Move the typing stubs to our dev deps
(https://github.com/ankitects/anki/pull/4074#pullrequestreview-2948088436)
- Handle beta/rc tags in .version when launching Anki
- Update pyproject.toml/.python_version if distributed version newer
- Support prerelease marker to opt in to betas
- Check for updates when using uv sync
- Avoid system Python by default, as it can cause breakages
(e.g. ARM Python installed on Windows)
* Migrate build system to uv
Closes#3787, and is a step towards #3081 and #4022
This change breaks our PyOxidizer bundling process. While we probably
could update it to work with the new venvs & lockfile, my intention
is to use this as a base to try out a uv-based packager/installer.
Some notes about the changes:
- Use uv for python download + venv installation
- Drop python/requirements* in favour of pyproject files / uv.lock
- Bumped to latest Python 3.9 version. The move to 3.13 should be
a fairly trivial change when we're ready.
- Dropped the old write_wheel.py in favour of uv/hatchling. This has
the unfortunate side-effect of dropping leading zeros in our wheels,
which we could try hack around in the future.
- Switch to Qt 6.7 for the dev repo, as it's the first PyQt version
with a Linux/ARM WebEngine wheel.
- Unified our macOS deployment target with minimum required for ARM.
- Dropped unused fluent python files
- Dropped unused python license generation
- Dropped helpers to run under Qt 5, as our wheels were already
requiring Qt 6 to install.
* Build action to create universal uv binary
* Drop some PyOxidizer-related files
* Use Windows ARM64 cargo/node binaries during build
We can't provide ARM64 wheels to users yet due to #4079, but we can
at least speed up the build.
The rustls -> native-tls change on Windows is because ring requires
clang to compile for ARM64, and I figured it's best to keep our Windows
deps consistent. We already built the wheels with native-tls.
* Make libankihelper a universal library
We were shipping a single arch library in a purelib, leading to
breakages when running on a different platform.
* Use Python wheel for mpv/lame on Windows/Mac
This is convenient, but suboptimal on a Mac at the moment. The first
run of mpv will take a number of seconds for security checks to run,
and our mpv code ends up timing out, repeating the process each time.
Our installer stub will need to invoke mpv once first to get it validated.
We could address this by distributing the audio with the installer/stub,
or perhaps by putting the binaries in a .pkg file that's notarized+stapled
and then included in the wheel.
* Add some helper scripts to build a fully-locked wheel
* Initial macOS launcher prototype
* Add a hidden env var to preload our libs and audio helpers on macOS
* qt/bundle -> qt/launcher
- remove more of the old bundling code
- handle app icon
* Fat binary, notarization & dmg
* Publish wheels on testpypi for testing
* Use our Python pin for the launcher too
* Python cleanups
* Extend launcher to other platforms + more
- Switch to Qt 6.8 for repo default, as 6.7 depends on an older
libwebp/tiff which is unavailable on newer installs
- Drop tools/mac-x86, as we no longer need to test against Qt 5
- Add flags to cross compile wheels on Mac and Linux
- Bump glibc target to 2_36, building on Debian Stable
- Increase mpv timeout on macOS to allow for initial gatekeeper checks
- Ship both arm64 and amd64 uv on Linux, with a bash stub to pick
the appropriate arch.
* Fix pylint on Linux
* Fix failure to run from /usr/local/bin
* Remove remaining pyoxidizer refs, and clean up duplicate release folder
* Rust dep updates
- Rust 1.87 for now (1.88 due out in around a week)
- Nom looks involved, so I left it for now
- prost-reflect depends on a new prost version that got yanked
* Python 3.13 + dep updates
Updated protoc binaries + add helper in order to try fix build breakage.
Ended up being due to an AI-generated update to pip-system-certs that
was not reviewed carefully enough:
https://gitlab.com/alelec/pip-system-certs/-/issues/36
The updated mypy/black needed some tweaks to our files.
* Windows compilation fixes
* Automatically run Anki after installing on Windows
* Touch pyproject.toml upon install, so we check for updates
* Update Python deps
- urllib3 for CVE
- pip-system-certs got fixed
- markdown/pytest also updated
* Treat play_file() and co as internal routines without protection
Our code and add-ons need a way to play audio from arbitrary locations. I propose we treat the _tag API as suitable for user input, and the _file API for internal use.
* Mention basename in the *_file() paths
We were (partially) doing this for MpvManager, but not for
Windows' SimpleMpvPlayer. By passing a media file starting
with a special scheme, a malicious actor could have caused a file to
be written to the filesystem on Windows.
Thanks once again to Michael Lappas for the report.
* add left margin to browser when sidebar is closed
* listen for event instead of explicit user action
* refresh sidebar on visibility change
* Add a margin on macOS even when not collapsed

Instantiating `MPV(MPVBase)` triggers multiple synchronous `command()` calls to the mpv process during callback registration. These calls block the main thread and degrade startup performance. This change defers registration via `taskman.run_in_background`.
