v2.5.1

ByteBox 2.5.1

ByteBox 2.5.1 rolls the major feature work from 2.5.0 into a fresh release focused on reliable desktop distribution. This release combines the board interaction and personalization improvements from 2.5.0 with the packaging and release-engineering fixes needed to ship a Windows installer cleanly.

Highlights from 2.5.0

• Category columns can now be drag-reordered and their order persists correctly
• Card drag-and-drop behavior is more reliable, with optimistic UI updates and consistent database ordering
• Personalization settings were expanded with resizable sidebar/columns and more typography controls
• Electron packaging was hardened for Turbopack alias packages, Prisma client bundling, and Electron-specific better-sqlite3 ABI handling
• Desktop packaging and release documentation were refreshed

New in 2.5.1

• Added a working Windows NSIS installer release path through GitHub Actions
• Synced the package lockfile so Windows npm ci succeeds in CI
• Fixed the Windows native rebuild path by invoking node-gyp directly instead of shelling through npx
• Added a proper Windows icon.ico and embedded multiple icon sizes for installer and desktop integration
• Hardened the release workflow with explicit Python setup, artifact uploads, installer verification, and separate manual build ref support
• Updated app/docs/download references from 2.5.0 to 2.5.1
