[Release] Homebr3w - Simple Homebrew browser and installer (2024)

v1.4.0
+ Add 2 more sorting modes (Last updated, first updated)
+ Uninstall installed Homebrew Apps! Press select to change between install and uninstall mode over an installed App!
+ Searching now also checks the Author and Description. Want to see all apps by 1 developer? Now you can!
+ Icon cache now updates icons. Sometimes a dev changes their icon, Homebr3w now always loads the newest one!
+ Massive Speedboost while downloading! Especially icons should download much faster now thanks to the power of Connection: Keep-alive!
+ Pseudo-anonymous data collection has been implemented. Homebr3w generates a UUID automatically and sends that to TitleDB.com. Disable this behavior in settings or generate a new UUID by removing the entry in SDMC:/Homebr3w/data.json
* Blacklist the invalid title ID 0x0
* Fix saving config files
* Fix the blacklisting feature

v1.3.1 HOTFIX RELEASE
* Fixed failing to download Libraries due to missing App directory

v1.3.0
+ Add searching by name! Go into the menu with START to use it
+ Scroll through your applist lightning fast! Just hold the up or down button and you automatically scroll
+ Return from menu with B. Small change, but something that has been bugging me lately
* Significantly change loading of external libraries! No longer are they included in the code but instead are downloaded directly from the internet. Makes Homebr3w smaller and doesn't mess with Copyright.
* Fixed installed Apps not showing at the top when grouping is enabled

v1.2.0
+ Exit from Install page by pressing START
+ Exit from Applist by pressing SELECT
+ Apps are now checked for updates. Mark all already installed Apps as latest version in the Menu or by redownloading every one again through Homebr3w
+ Press Y on any App to generate a QR Code for FBI to install
+ Add grouping of installed extensions at the top
* Fixed problem with long author names and descriptions again

v1.1.0
+ The list can now be sorted with L/R
+ App sizes now get shown on the details area for the apps
+ Jump multiple entries with Left/Right DPAD. You can change how many places to jump in settings
* Update lpp to Rinnegatamante/lpp-3ds@26b96a2
* Use TitleDB.com's API directly instead of proxying through PHP scripts
* Fixed problem with long author names and descriptions
- Removed the PHP Proxy scripts (They will remain on my server for further support of Homebr3w 1.0.0)

v1.0.0
+ Initial release

Q: The caching doesn't download all icons! Fix it!
A: Not really a question, but I'll let that slide. Unfortunately, that seems to be a problem with my webhost, which is by far not the most stable thing out there.

Q: Why is my homebrew not in the list? Why are the descriptions so bad?
A: I pull all my data from TitleDB.com so you have to submit your app there. The descriptions also get fetched from there, but it is mostly that a lot of Homebrew devs don't really add a description it seems.

Q: The App shows an error about downloading/retrieving information. What and why?
A: Check your internet connection. If you are sure it works, then it might, as I said above, be a problem with my webhost. Try again later.

Q: My issue hasn't been mentioned here, what do?
A: Best would be to check the issues on my Github and if your problem isn't listed, create a new issue.

Q: Why don't I have any friends?
A: You should get out more.
