Vlyx Hub v1.1.6 - The Search Update

⚡ Vlyx Hub v1.1.6 - The Search Update

This release transforms Vlyx Hub from a static bookmark list into an interactive dashboard by integrating customizable search engines and refined navigation preferences.

🌟 New Features

• Personalized Search Engine: Users can now search the web directly from their Hub using their favorite search engine.
• Multiple Providers: Built-in support for DuckDuckGo (default), Google, Bing, Startpage, Brave Search, and Qwant.

🛠️ Improvements & Fixes

• UI Refinement: The "User Settings" modal has been expanded with new options and an improved layout for a better user experience.
• Data Consistency: User preferences (engine choice and tab behavior) are now saved per user in the JSON system, ensuring settings persist across updates.
• Version Alignment: System-wide update of all core files and documentation to v1.1.6.

⚠️ Update Instructions

To update from v1.1.5 to v1.1.6:

1. Replace all .php files in your Source/ directory with the new versions.
2. Update your version.txt file.
3. CRITICAL: Do not delete or overwrite your users/ folder, users.json, or tokens.json files to preserve your accounts and bookmarks.
