Novus

A blazingly fast and efficient package manager for windows.

Why Novus

Swift

Unlike any other package manager, Novus uses multithreaded downloads making the download speeds 8 times faster.

Efficient

Apart from being extremely fast, Novus also installs and uninstalls packages concurrently, making it as efficient as possible.

Authentic

Not only are all of Novus’s packages are monitored regularly, but all of them are always up to date and trusted by the community.

Features

Unlike most package managers, Novus can do much more than just installing and uninstalling applications.

Here are the various commands that novus can perform.

  • Install
  • Uninstall
  • Update
  • List
  • Search
  • Clean
  • Quit
  • Forcequit
  • Info

Run novus -h for a detailed description of each command.

Installation

Novus is extremely easy to install.

This can be done using the official installer or via powershell.

Official Installer

The official installer for novus can be found here.

    Contains features and ideas identical to / directly from Electric w/o credit / mention

    From what I have seen, Novus uses a lot of ideas that seem to be copied heavily inspired / directly copied from Electric.

    Here are a few examples:

    1. Package Name Autocorrection

    image

    vs image

    2. Auto Elevating the User image

    vs

    image

    3. Temp Directory Folder Structure image

    vs

    image

    Although it is natural to copy features from direct competitors, it is unethical not to credit or at the least, point out that these features are inspired by Electric. Hope this can be addressed soon 👍.

  • Ignore checksum for certain packages

    Ignore checksum for certain packages

    • For packages like Active Perl, the checksum changes weekly.
    • It would be hard to maintain these packages.
    • Hence, prompt the user if he wants to continue with the installation without verifying its hash.

  • [FR] Recognize old installed packages (by other software, e.g. Chocolatey, WinGet, Ninite, normal install, etc) and be able to fetch them to be managed/updated via Novus

    [FR] Recognize old installed packages (by other software, e.g. Chocolatey, WinGet, Ninite, normal install, etc) and be able to fetch them to be managed/updated via Novus

    What I'm asking here is for a direct linking or an unique placeholder where the name or ID of the package can be handled and managed via Novus directly.

    I'm not a programmer myself, so I'm not sure how this could be implemented, but I think it's fairly possible.

    That way we would avoid problems by having to uninstall externally via some other app (Windows Programs Manager, Choco, Revo Uninstaller, Glary, iObit, etc) and handle all of them directly via Novus itself.

    What do you think?

    Thanks.

  • [Request] Can you create a crate for novus downloader backend

    [Request] Can you create a crate for novus downloader backend

    It would be great if you expose novus downloader as a cargo crate because there are not much options of maintained downloader's in rust and even if there are then they are not multithreaded.

    Also by doing so people can use and contribute directly to it and hence improve novus.

    It could be used as a common downloader in future with novus-linux and novus-macos.

    • For example, 7-zip 19.00 should be installed by default instead of 21.03.
    • Add an additional flag for installing beta versions and pre-releases.

Modify fonts to remove bitmap and disable gridfit for Windows font rendering.

Since Windows 10 version 1703 (Creators Update), its built-in TrueType renderer now supports vertical anti-aliasing. Despite there are only 30 levels of grayscale shade, it dramatically improves text rendering, especially for CJK languages. Sadly, it is only enabled for selected fonts at selected sizes.
