0.7.5
What's Changed
[0.7.5] - 2026-09-03
This release is about the part of Heka you see first. The Home screen, the
task list, and the task dialogs got a full pass to feel like a proper desktop
app — quicker to read, quicker to act.
Added
- A reworked Home screen. Up top you'll find the state of the engine at a
glance (is the daemon up, is the scheduler running) and three quick
actions: create a task, create a schedule, or run any task right from a
small picker — no need to visit other pages for the everyday stuff. - The next scheduled run now gets the spotlight it deserves: which task,
when it fires, and how long from now ("in 14h 2m"), with a one-click
"Run now" if you can't wait. - Recent activity rows now open the exact run they refer to — one click from
the dashboard straight to that run's output — and show friendly times like
"2m ago" (the full timestamp appears when you hover). - Hovering the status dot in the top bar — or the engine badge on Home —
now tells you what's actually going on: the version, the state of the
core and scheduler, and how long the daemon has been up. When the
scheduler is paused, it says so plainly. - The task list is now made of cards instead of a dense table. Each card
shows the task, its type, when it last ran and how it went, with Run,
enable/disable and delete right on the card. Clicking a card opens the
editor.
Changed
- Creating and editing tasks now happens in a dialog, the same way for both.
Editing no longer navigates away from the task list, and importing a task
file drops you straight into the editor to review it. - The task dialog is wider, so the form breathes and the YAML editor has
room to work. - The default window size is larger, and Tasks and Schedules use the extra
room. On small laptop screens the window quietly shrinks to fit — the
shape stays the same. - Statuses are written the way people say them — "Timed out" instead of
"timed_out" — everywhere, including the charts and the log filters. The
status chart now shows readable labels with aligned counts, and the log
filters use the same wording.
Fixed
- The status dot in the top bar ignored the mouse entirely — hovering it
never showed anything. It now has a proper hover area and reveals the
health details described above.
