This is a minor patch that fixes some bugs, updates translation strings, provides official downloads for Windows 11 ARM and AppImage-aarch64.

For the first time, you can download official AppImages for aarch64. If you do web development on an ARM device like a Raspberry Pi, an ODROID, a Pine64 device or an Android phone with some Linux environment, this is the fastest way to start testing your APIs in a lightweight GUI environment. (Of course, there are also already aarch64 versions of Cartero in Flathub and in the Snap Store, and some package managers may also be carrying Cartero.)

Additionally, the AppImage version of Cartero now successfully runs on oldstable and legacy GNU/Linux distros such as Debian 11 and RHEL 8/9, where it previously used to crash due to outdated glibc versions. The AppImage will now pack its own glibc. If you face issues such as the AppImage not starting, even if an older version did, an issue with your bug report including the distro you are using would be appreciated.

Also, Cartero is also now available for Windows 11 ARM. Cartero x64 runs perfectly on Windows 11 ARM using the compatibility layer, but if you want to use a native version anyway, now you can. Note that while the x64 version of Cartero is compatible with Windows 10, the ARM version of Cartero is not compatible with Windows 10, only Windows 11 is supported in this case.

Added:

• AppImage: official support for aarch64.
• Windows: official support for Windows 11 ARM.

Changed:

• Translation updates: Catalan, German, Basque, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian.
• Windows, macOS, AppImage: updated vendored runtime.

Fixed:

• Exporting a request to cURL will now include the payload if the payload type is set to XML.
• AppImage: the application will now work on systems using glibc < 2.35.

Finally, I want to thank some additional contributors who contributed code or strings for this release:

• @brandochn fixed a bug that caused request payloads not to be included in a cURL export if the request body type was set to XML.
• @alesdevux added translation strings in Catalan.
• @JuanM-Nani added translation strings in German.
• @ibaios added translation strings in Basque.
• @johnpetersa19 added translation strings in Brazilian.
• @yurtpage added translation strings in Russian.

[!NOTE] Information for packagers:

The Meson build script will now run a Python script to set the version when compiling the application (build-aux/gen-version.py). This is only required before the application starts to compile; Cartero does not depend on Python.

Given that Meson itself depends on Python, things should continue to function, because python3 should be available in the build environment. Depending on the policies, you might want to start declaring python3 as a build dependency, however.

If your Nix derivation starts to fail (or if you are a nixpkgs packager reading this): you'll probably require to add python3 as a build dependency and patch the shebang in build-aux/gen-version.py. The flake.nix and the default.nix in this repository now do this.

[!NOTE] More information for packagers:

The file $PREFIX/share/appdata/es.danirod.Cartero.appdata.xml has been renamed to $PREFIX/share/metainfo/es.danirod.Cartero.metainfo.xml, to follow modern conventions in the AppStream conventions.

Sorry for forgetting to report this when the release was made.
