@ -12,12 +12,22 @@ This release contains contributions from (alphabetically by first name):
- Python job modules (such as *unpackfs* or *packages*) can now provide
a `pretty_status_message()` function, like the existing `pretty_name()`
function, that is used to update the status during install. #1330
- QML support-modules and objects are now registered into the io.calamares
namespace. This affects modules using Calamares models inside their
QML UI (at this point, very few). With this release, the necessary
`import` for Calamares parts looks like
> ```import io.calamares.ui 1.0```
## Modules ##
- *packages* now reports more details in the installation progress-bar.
- *netinstall* module supports and `expanded` key, which will pre-expand
a group (as if the user had pressed the arrow-button in the tree-view).
This only affects the UI.
- Modules that use QML need a new import line. The QML file for the
module is configured through new keys *qmlSearch* and *qmlFilename*
(previously those were without the `qml` prefix, which invites name
collisions). The full module identifier is also used as a filename,
so that multiple instances of a module can use different QML files.
