This is the first major release in almost 5 years! 🎉
Thanks for everyone who contributed to this project! ❤️

New Features

  • Added Linux support
  • Added support for automatic dark/light themes
  • Added support for system backdrop effect on Windows (Mica, Mica Tabbed, Acrylic)
  • Added support for vibrancy effect on macOS
  • Use FluentUI react components for better accessibility
  • Added more reliable translation extension by using DeepL
  • Added back Firefox bookmarks
  • Added ability to search bookmarks from different browsers at the same time
  • Added new extension "Terminal Launcher"
  • Added the option to switch between different filtering algorithms. Currently supported: "Fuse.js" and "fuzzysort"

Improvements

  • Made electron application more secure by disabling nodeIntegration in renderer process
  • Complete rewrite of the whole application. Code separation should now be better and it should be easier to add new extensions
  • Generally improved developer experience by using vite and making use of HMR
  • Improved extraction of native icons

Changes from v8

  • The settings from v8 are incompatible with v9, therefore the default settings will be applied when you upgrade to v9. You can downgrade to v8 at any time.
  • As ueli uses FluentUI react components most of the visual customization options are dropped
  • As ueli v9 was rewritten from the ground up it's very likely that certain features or bug fixes are missing in v9
  • Formerly called "Plugins" are now called "Extensions"
  • Because of the rewrite most of the translations could not be migrated. The only languages supported are:
    • English (US)
    • German (Switzerland)

Discontinued plugins from v8

These plugins are not lost, but just not ported to v9 as they need a partial rewrite. If there is a high demand, we can still port them later.
