Add compileall step to build-dist-windows.sh that generates .pyc files
for both app source and site-packages. Saves ~100-200ms on startup by
skipping parse/compile on first import.
- Replace winsdk (~35MB) with winrt packages (~2.5MB) for OS notification
listener. API is identical, 93% size reduction.
- Replace wmi (~3-5MB) with ctypes for monitor names (EnumDisplayDevicesW)
and camera names (SetupAPI). Zero external dependency.
- Migrate cv2.resize/imencode/LUT to Pillow/numpy in 5 files (filters,
preview helpers, kc_target_processor). OpenCV only needed for camera
and video stream now.
- Fix DefWindowProcW ctypes overflow on 64-bit Python (pre-existing bug
in platform_detector display power listener).
- Fix openLightbox import in streams-capture-templates.ts (was using
broken window cast instead of direct import).
- Add mandatory data migration policy to CLAUDE.md after silent data
loss incident from storage file rename without migration.
Strip unnecessary files from site-packages:
- Remove pip, setuptools, pythonwin (not needed at runtime)
- OpenCV: remove unused extra modules and data
- numpy: remove tests, f2py, typing stubs
- Remove all .dist-info directories and .pyi type stubs
- Remove winsdk type stubs
- Replace 7z with msiextract (msitools) to extract tkinter from
python.org's individual MSI packages (tcltk.msi + lib.msi)
- Fix build step numbering to /9
- Docker job continues on login failure (registry may not be enabled)
- Show makensis output for debugging
- Replace nuget approach (doesn't contain tkinter) with extracting
from the official Python amd64.exe installer using 7z
- Remove MUI_ICON/MUI_UNICON (no .ico file available, use NSIS default)
- Add p7zip-full to CI dependencies
- installer.nsi: per-user install to AppData, Start Menu shortcuts,
optional desktop shortcut and autostart, clean uninstall (preserves
data/), Add/Remove Programs registration
- build-dist-windows.sh: runs makensis after ZIP if available
- release.yml: install nsis in CI, upload both ZIP and setup.exe
- Fix Docker registry login (sed -E for https:// stripping)
Download _tkinter.pyd, tkinter package, and Tcl/Tk DLLs from the
official Python nuget package and copy them into the embedded Python
directory. This enables the screen overlay visualization during
calibration in the portable build.
- Move startup banner into main.py so it shows the actual configured
port instead of a hardcoded 8080 in the launcher scripts
- Wrap tkinter import in try/except so embedded Python (which lacks
tkinter) logs a warning instead of crashing the overlay thread
Windows: install-autostart.bat (Startup folder shortcut),
uninstall-autostart.bat. Linux: install-service.sh (systemd unit),
uninstall-service.sh.
Both launchers now use python -m wled_controller.main so port is
read from config/env instead of being hardcoded to 8080.
Windows embedded Python ignores PYTHONPATH when a ._pth file exists.
Add ../app/src to the ._pth so wled_controller is importable.
Fixes ModuleNotFoundError on portable builds.
Replace Windows runner requirement with cross-compilation:
download Windows embedded Python + win_amd64 wheels from PyPI,
package into the same ZIP structure as build-dist.ps1.
All 4 release jobs now run on ubuntu-latest.
