March 2026 — Key reliability and localization improvements in cjpais/handy. Implemented robust locale resolution for the tray menu to ensure Traditional Chinese displays correctly, and hardened the update delivery path to prevent MSI updates for NSIS-installed users. Upgraded updater dependency to tauri-plugin-updater v2.10.0 to fix duplicate registry entries and align bundle-specific targets, reducing installation interference and improving end-user experience. Collaborated across teams on i18n and packaging fixes with minimal regressions and faster issue resolution.
