Oct 1, 2025October 2025 (slint-ui/slint): Feature delivery and build-system enhancement to support live-preview across non-manifest directories. Implemented absolute path handling in the build system (with_absolute_paths) to convert relative paths to absolute paths based on the manifest directory, enabling apps to run from directories other than the manifest directory and powering live-preview workflows. This change was implemented with the commit that updates the library and include path handling. No major bugs reported this month. Overall impact: improved development reliability and faster iteration for live-preview by ensuring consistent path resolution across builds. Technologies/skills demonstrated: build-system refactoring, path resolution logic, handling absolute vs relative paths, and careful version-controlled delivery.
