BREAKING CHANGES
-
this rework should fix all sorts of issues when OS events happen in parallel: new windows, new apps, user shortcuts, etc. Here are example of use-cases that should work great now, without, and very quickly:
- AltTab is open and an app/window is launched/quit
- A window is minimized/deminimized, and while the animation is playing, the user invokes AltTab
- An app starts and takes a long time to boot (e.g. Gimp)
- An app becomes unresponsive, yet AltTab is unaffected and remains interactive while still processing the state of the window while its parent app finally stops being frozen

BREAKING CHANGES
- bump major version
- Instead of asking the OS about the state of the whole system on trigger (what we do today; hard to do fast), or asking the state of the whole system on a timer (what HyperSwitch does today; inaccurate) - instead of one of 2 approaches, v3 observes the Accessibility events such as “an app was launched”, “a window was closed”. This means we build a cache as we receive these events in the background, and when the user trigger the app, we can show accurate state of the windows instantly.
Of course there is no free lunch, so this approach has its own issues. However from my work on it from the past week, I’m very optimistic! The thing I’m the most excited about actually is not the perf (because on my machine even v2 is instant; I have a recent macbook and no 4k displays), but the fact that we will finally have the thumbnails in order of recently-used to least-recently-used, instead of the order of their stack (z-index) on the desktop. It’s a big difference! There are many more limitations that are no longer applying also with this approach.
