The router management has been much easier with this approach as it uses launchd to do the dirty work.
This code also uses java_home as a wrapper instead of locating the java binary by itself. This also contribute to the improvements.
* Update readme about event manager
* RouterTask can now detect a running router by scanning processes&arguments for i2p.jar
* The logger will log to OSX's default: ~/Library/Logs/I2P/[whatever].log
* Enabled Apple's "Hardened Runtime", however unsecure memory had to be allowed to spawn java etc.
* Updated docs about Event Manager code
* Make the launcher handle cases where extract is incomplete or invalid
* Bugfixes as always
* Bugfixes as always
* Added Sparkle (native updater, https://sparkle-project.org/ )
* The launcher will now extract and overwrite older versions if found
* Rewrite of the java extraction part (to enable overwrite)
* Move more functionality to use EventManager as it works quite well
* Added check for updates menu item
* In general bugfixes
* Introduced event manager for better control flow
* Splitted RouterStatusView to own file
* Added shell script to setup and produce dmg file
Mac OS X launcher:
* UI built on Swift
* Why?
* Apple seems to on purpose make it harder to get into Objective-C these days
* Swift is compiled to native code, but has easiness of Javascript in programming
* Perfect for the OS X UI, many guides & tutorials as well
* "Backend" in Objective-C++ / C++14
* Why?
* Originally written in Objective-C / C++14 with C++17 backports
* Only for backend because of the time the development takes
*
Short summary of features:
* Java
* It can detect java from:
* JAVA_HOME environment variable
* "Internet Plug-Ins" Apple stuff
* By the /usr/libexec/java_home binary helper
* It can unpack a new version of I2P
* Unpacks to ~/Library/I2P
* Can check currently unpacked version in ~/Library/I2P via i2p.jar's "net.i2p.CoreVersion"
* User Interface (a popover, see https://youtu.be/k8L3lQ5rUq0 for example of this concept)
* Router control tab view
* It can start the router
* It can stop the router
* It can detect already running router, then avoid fireing up one
* It can show basic information about the router state & version
* Log view tab (not yet done)
* While left-click triggers popover, right-click draws a minimal context menu
* Port check to see if i2p is already running.
* All buttons in the menu should work now.
* Rewrote some C++ to Objective-C, which fits better with the integration.
* Misc cleanup.
* Made the launch of router repeatable.
and then secondly fire up the router in a second java process when
extraction is completed. Gonna use "optional" type in C++ to make
global variables a bit less painful to use.
