Adds explicit AppUserModelID for Windows, robust single-instance and protocol URL handling, and protocol registration for http/https in package.json. Enhances default browser logic to handle OS-specific requirements, provides user feedback in the setup UI, and allows opening system settings for default browser selection. Updates preload and renderer logic to support these changes.
Revamps the settings page with improved layout, modernized CSS, and enhanced accessibility, including new layout helpers, better grouping, and consistent styling.

Portable mode now works on Windows, macOS, and Linux, storing user data in a 'user-data' folder within the app directory by default. The mode is enabled by default and can be disabled via NEBULA_PORTABLE=0. All file operations for history and search data now respect portable mode, using secure file writes where appropriate. Updated .gitignore and package.json to exclude portable data from versioning and packaging. Also fixed Bing icon filename case in home.html.
Introduces a Steam Input bridge using steamworks.js, enabling native controller support in Big Picture Mode and on Steam Deck. Adds a new steam-input-manager.js module, integrates IPC handlers in main.js, exposes a steamInputAPI in preload.js, and updates bigpicture.js to use Steam Input when available with fallback to legacy Gamepad API. Updates dependencies and scripts in package.json for Steam Deck and Big Picture profiles.
Replaces hardware acceleration and ANGLE-based GPU flags with software rendering on SteamOS to address webview rendering issues under Gamescope. Updates both main.js and the start:steamos script in package.json to disable GPU compositing and enforce software rendering.
Refined GPU command line switches for SteamOS/Gamescope in main.js to use ANGLE with X11, enable VulkanFromANGLE, and adjust feature flags. Updated the start:steamos script in package.json to match these changes for better webview rendering and stability on Steam Deck.
Enhances GPU flag handling for SteamOS and Gamescope by adding early detection and flag injection in main.js. Updates the README with clearer SteamOS instructions, adds a SteamOS-optimized .desktop file, and improves Linux packaging options in package.json for AppImage and deb targets with appropriate flags and metadata.
Introduces SteamOS/Steam Deck detection and GPU configuration in gpu-config.js, adds a dedicated start-steamos.sh launch script, and updates package.json with new scripts for SteamOS and Linux GPU-safe launches. Also adds a comprehensive GPU troubleshooting guide in GPU-FIX-README.md to address rendering issues on various platforms.
Integrates electron-updater for automatic app updates, including IPC and renderer APIs for update status and controls. Adds display scale (zoom) setting to settings UI, persists user preference in localStorage, and applies it on startup. Updates OAuth popup allowlist logic and upgrades Electron to v39.2.7.

Adds dependencies for markdown rendering and code highlighting (dompurify, highlight.js, marked). Removes the sample-hello plugin. Updates site-history.json with recent browsing history.
Introduces a dynamic greeting, live clock, and weather widget to the home page.

Settings page now includes a weather unit preference (auto, Celsius, Fahrenheit) that syncs with the home page weather display.
Adds early enabling of WebAuthn and platform authenticator features in Chromium via command line switches, and injects diagnostics to check availability in the renderer. CSS z-index values are increased for navigation and menu elements to ensure proper layering above <webview> surfaces. Updates Electron to 37.3.1 and expands site-history.json with additional authentication-related URLs.
Changed the icon paths for macOS, Windows, and Linux builds to use the new Nebula-Favicon assets. This ensures each platform uses the appropriate icon format.
