0.8.6

[AHS12]

What's Changed

[0.8.6] - 2026-09-15

Fixed a bug where tasks missed while your PC was off could stay unfired
forever, plus a few small quality-of-life touches.

Fixed

• Missed tasks now catch up reliably. If your PC was off when a task was
  scheduled to run (for example, a daily 9:00 task and you booted at 11:00),
  Heka now fires it on startup — and, in some situations it could previously
  be skipped over even though the logs said "0 caught up", it now catches up
  every time. Reopen your machine late with confidence: missed work runs
  without you needing to press anything.
• No duplicate runs on boot. Schedules also feel more predictable
  right after startup: a task won't accidentally be fired twice when the
  boot lands exactly on its scheduled minute, and a fresh boot won't re-fire
  a task that hasn't come due yet — it runs again at its next normal time.
• Tasks missed across multiple days now fire exactly once, as intended.

Changed

• Removed the "App tour" card from Settings → Appearance. The tour is
  still available from the About page, and still plays automatically on
  first launch.
