Changelog

0.0.1

• Stop runaway background dashboard scripts and recover workers after execution or memory limits are exceeded.
• Save cleared optional dashboard inputs and preserve them across reloads and restarts.
• Restore the previous installation after a failed update, including removing newly added files.
• Retain loaded Playground sessions when browser storage falls back to memory, with isolated copies of session data.
• Reject non-finite numbers in dashboard input forms before saving.
• Preserve long dashboard refresh intervals after failed requests.

• Keep controls and charts independent across keyed parents and routes, and preserve their state when keyed parents or table rows and columns move.
• Prevent image loading redraw races and release destroyed dashboard resources and dismissed toast handlers.
• Load interactive website gallery previews faster by streaming WASM download, decompression, and compilation in a background Worker.
• Prompt Windows users to quit the running app before reinstalling or upgrading with Setup, and stop silent installs before overwriting files when the executable is in use.
• Allow dashboard scripts to allocate up to 128 MiB per macrotask, up from 32 MiB, for larger workloads.
• Store structured dashboard history in isolated persistent SQLite databases, with multiple named databases, D1-style prepared statements and atomic batches, and verified basic CRUD with Kysely 0.27.6 and kysely-d1 0.4.0.
• Use native D-Bus tray integration on Linux without requiring Ayatana AppIndicator, keep settings accessible when no tray host is available, and report desktop capability limits without crashing.
• Show dashboards as loading instead of needing repair while they start with the app, soften the edge line of screen Sidebars, keep Registries rows steady while a source refreshes, and list Privacy just above About in Settings.
• Start the website Playground terminal and preview in parallel, show loading skeletons with actual startup stages and measurable download progress, and use system fonts in the preview to avoid large font downloads.
• Expand the website Playground to fill the browser window without restarting the terminal or preview, and keep editing responsive with background syntax highlighting and fewer redundant draft saves.
• Show screen Sidebars and metric tooltips as translucent panes in the selected theme, adapting to light, dark, and High Contrast appearances, with a glass lens under hovered icons and gentle entrance motion.
• Choose from six themes that change both the window background and app accent color, with smooth transitions between themes and light or dark appearance.
• Move through the app with one consistent, softer motion: pages switch with a brief fade, menus, dialogs, and dashboard Dialogs ease in, switches stretch while pressed, segmented controls cross-fade, theme and status colors blend without turning gray midway, and glows and area charts fade out without visible edges.
• Keep Windows releases available when signed update history exceeds the system's environment variable size limit, while retaining verified delta updates.
• Receive newer signed app builds of the same version, with full downloads for rebuilds and restart protection across release channel changes.
• Test official dashboard changes through a local development registry with isolated app data and same-version content updates.
• Independently toggle and configure Flyout or Dialog opening modes across five trigger sources (Menu Bar, Left Sidebar, Right Sidebar, Bottom Sidebar, and Keyboard Shortcut) for every dashboard in detail settings, retaining configured modes when an entrance is disabled.
• Toggle Keyboard Shortcuts independently alongside visual entrances in settings, record and clear key bindings on a dedicated Shortcut row, and open panels even when all visual entrances are turned off.
• Slide screen Sidebars in on expand and out on collapse (instant under Reduce Motion), trigger flush against edges with ~100 ms dwell even when the app is in the background, smoothly hide 300 ms after leaving, show single-line core metric tooltips without title headers, and present macOS Flyouts as native Popovers with arrows pointing to clicked icons while keeping the rail open (Windows and Linux use arrowless flyouts).
• Reorder dashboards directly in screen Sidebars by dragging icons while holding the primary platform modifier (Cmd on macOS, Ctrl on Windows and Linux) to update global dashboard order across the home page and other Sidebars, and synchronize dashboard order on macOS after Cmd-dragging menu bar icons upon the next Sidebar expand or main window refresh.
• Center dashboard Dialogs over the current display with a ~12% black high-transparency scrim (~40% in High Contrast), rounded-corner shadowed card, no close button, at least 10% margins on all four sides, internal scrolling, and outside-click or Esc dismissal, while real-device GUI validation on Windows and Linux desktop remains pending.
• Configure entrance placements, default opening mode, and per-source opening modes via local API PATCH /v0/dashboards/:id/settings with open_modes object replacement, null or {} reset, and effective resolved modes for all five sources in responses.
• Report unavailable screen positioning instead of substituting ordinary windows; Linux support targets X11 and Wayland with working gtk-layer-shell, while Windows and Linux desktop GUI validation remains pending.
• Close dashboard panels on macOS by clicking their menu bar icon or value again.
• Refresh the main window with a gradient backdrop, a floating content card, and redesigned buttons, switches, menus, and fields.

• See each dashboard’s value, state, last update, and shortcut at a glance on simpler Overview cards, and get a confirmation when you record or clear a shortcut.
• Copy a fix prompt from any broken dashboard and hand it to your agent, with the error, failing queries, source file, and local API details it needs.

• Build rich dashboards with native charts featuring legends, interactive tooltips with exact point matching, custom ticks and domains, reference lines, horizontal and rounded bars, category axes, theme-cached drawing for lines, areas, bars, and donuts, and new radar charts, candlestick sessions, pre-laid-out Sankey flows, and configurable entrance animations.
• Open and install dashboards with metrixbar links, including dashboard IDs with dots or Unicode; review permissions and inputs, confirm new or disabled sources, and import HTTPS .bar links with optional SHA-256 verification. Repeated links open matching installations, while changed direct downloads require confirmation with local edit protection and transactional rollback.
