️ A WinGet YAML configuration file for NodeJS has been added to the repository. ️ The dashboard now displays a loading progress ring while loading widgets (Thanks @aksoftware98!). ️ System widget graphs now use antialiasing for a smoother appearance. ️ Core widgets now work on Arm64 devices (Thanks @snickler). ️ The repository cloning tool now shows you repositories you’ve previously cloned.

[HEADING=2]Bug fixes[/HEADING]

Switching the theme doesn’t get into a broken state anymore (we’re pretty sure). Installing apps through the end-to-end setup tool shouldn’t crash anymore. Background contrast should be much better now (Thanks @BreeceW!). The add widget dialogs now dynamically size with the window, ensuring all buttons are clickable.
