Releases

Waiting Paws nightly 1.7.26-nightly.1113

Choose a tag to compare

@AndrewAndreev AndrewAndreev released this 11 Nov 14:02

Test build of the Mac and Windows apps from 4ea3f63: newer than the last release, possibly with bugs.

Settings → About → Updates → «Тестовые сборки» gets these builds through the app's updates. The Mac apps read
appcast.xml of this pre-release (it lists the newest release too), the Windows apps its latest.yml next to
the Latest release's, so a newer release still arrives. GitHub Actions adds the Windows files a few minutes after
the Mac ones (.github/workflows/windows.yml, on this tag).

Waiting Paws 1.7.25

@github-actions github-actions released this 12 Nov 12:47

Waiting Paws 1.7.25 — camera changes during a training reach the recording.

Mac — WaitingPaws-1.7.25-mac.zip

  • A camera's quality changed during a recording now reaches the recording too. It used to go on in the old quality,
    and a camera that allows one connection could keep the new picture off the screen until the recording ended.
  • The camera tapped on a linked iPhone is the one shown and recorded, even if the cameras changed places on the Mac
    at that moment. This needs iPhone 1.7.25; older iPhones keep working as before.

Mac apps from 1.7.20 get it through their own updates. Signed with Developer ID and notarized by Apple (macOS 26 or
later). The Mac App Store version keeps updating through the App Store.

Windows — WaitingPaws-1.7.25-Setup.exe (installer) or WaitingPaws-1.7.25-win-x64.zip (portable)

The same app as 1.7.24; installed apps get it through their own updates (Windows asks for administrator permission).
The app is not code-signed yet: SmartScreen asks once on the first launch — "More info" → "Run anyway".

Waiting Paws 1.7.24

@github-actions github-actions released this 12 Nov 10:42

Waiting Paws 1.7.24 — choosing a camera no longer drops the other one.

Mac — WaitingPaws-1.7.24-mac.zip

  • Choosing the second camera as the main one (Choose Camera…) swaps the two cameras: the old main camera becomes the
    second one instead of disappearing. Before, picking the second camera to bring it back after it stalled dropped the
    other camera, and an iPhone linked to the Mac could not add it back.
  • The chosen camera stays on screen and is the one recorded; a linked iPhone shows it too.

Mac apps from 1.7.20 get it through their own updates. Signed with Developer ID and notarized by Apple (macOS 26 or
later). The Mac App Store version keeps updating through the App Store.

Windows — WaitingPaws-1.7.24-Setup.exe (installer) or WaitingPaws-1.7.24-win-x64.zip (portable)

  • The same fix: choosing the second camera as the main one swaps the two cameras.

Installed apps from 1.7.21 get it through their own updates (Windows asks for administrator permission).
The app is not code-signed yet: SmartScreen asks once on the first launch — "More info" → "Run anyway".

Waiting Paws 1.7.23

@github-actions github-actions released this 11 Nov 21:35

Waiting Paws 1.7.23 — the Mac app looks for updates more often, and a found version stays in sight.

Mac — WaitingPaws-1.7.23-mac.zip

  • Updates are checked at launch and every 6 hours (was once a day).
  • «Обновление» (Update) stays in the toolbar after “Remind Me Later” or after closing the update window: a found
    version no longer disappears until the next check.
  • A check that falls on a training or a recording runs as soon as it has ended.

Mac apps from 1.7.20 get it through their own updates. Signed with Developer ID and notarized by Apple (macOS 26 or

Waiting Paws 1.7.21

Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 11 Nov 17:11

Waiting Paws 1.7.21 — the Windows app now updates itself too, like the Mac app.

Windows — WaitingPaws-1.7.21-Setup.exe (installer) or WaitingPaws-1.7.21-win-x64.zip (portable)

  • Installed with the installer, Waiting Paws updates itself from these releases: a new version downloads in the
    background and installs when you quit. «Обновление» (Update) appears in the title bar: it shows what is new and can
    restart into it right away. Nothing pops up during a training or a recording. Windows asks for administrator
    permission for each update, because the app is installed for all users.
  • Settings → About → Updates: install automatically, only notify, or don't check; test builds (nightly); Check Now.
  • 1.7.20 and older can't update themselves yet: install 1.7.21 over them once, the next versions come by themselves.
    The portable zip doesn't update itself.

The app is not code-signed yet: SmartScreen asks once on the first launch — "More info" → "Run anyway".

Mac — WaitingPaws-1.7.21-mac.zip

The same app as 1.7.20; Mac apps from 1.7.20 get it through their own updates. Signed with Developer ID and notarized
by Apple (macOS 26 or later). The Mac App Store version keeps updating through the App Store.

Waiting Paws 1.7.20

@github-actions github-actions released this 11 Nov 13:45

Waiting Paws 1.7.20 — the Mac app is here now too, next to Windows.

Mac — WaitingPaws-1.7.20-mac.zip

Unzip it and move Waiting Paws to Applications. It is signed with Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so it opens
without warnings (macOS 26 or later). It is the same app as in the Mac App Store, plus updates from these releases:

  • A new version downloads in the background and installs when you quit. «Обновление» (Update) appears in the
    toolbar: it shows what is new and can restart into it right away. Nothing pops up during a training or a recording.
  • Settings → About → Updates: install automatically, only notify, or don't check; test builds; Check Now.
  • Since 1.7.17: an unfinished night recording no longer loads the processor. It is prepared once in the background,
    with progress, and ⌘Q doesn't wait for it. In History, the search field stays over the inspector after the window
    is reopened.

The Mac App Store version keeps updating through the App Store.

Windows — WaitingPaws-1.7.20-Setup.exe (installer) or WaitingPaws-1.7.20-win-x64.zip (portable)

The same as 1.7.17, built from the same code as the Mac app. See the 1.7.17 release for what changed there.

Waiting Paws 1.7.17 for Windows

Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 07 Nov 16:06

Waiting Paws for Windows — the training console of the Mac app as a Windows desktop app.

New in 1.7.17

  • The same version as iPhone and Mac 1.7.17, built from the same code (1.7.16 was a Mac-only build).
  • Xiaomi cameras: a camera serves one session at a time, and go2rtc now tells it when a session ends instead of just
    dropping it, so the camera is free for the next one sooner. A session the camera turns away (it still holds another
    one) ends at once instead of after go2rtc's 15-second wait. The camera search on the local network keeps trying
    when a send fails, and the log follows every connection step: the Mi Cloud key time, the handshake, the first video
    frame and how a session ended.
  • Adding a camera by its address offers rtsp:// and http:// (an ONVIF camera by its rtsp:// address). onvif:// was
    offered before, but the built-in go2rtc has no ONVIF module.
  • The third-party licenses shipped with the app list every package.
  • On the Mac: the session's capsule in the window's header, with the window's buttons, no longer shakes; a zoomed
    camera picture pans up under the header and fills the window; the C302's SD picture no longer leaves a black strip
    at the left.

In 1.7.15

  • The same version as iPhone and Mac 1.7.15, built from the same code. The Windows app itself has not changed since
    1.6.12. 1.7.15 fixes «Подключаемся к камере…» staying over a camera picture that plays (on the Mac, after the
    training window was closed and opened again from the Dock). In the Mac's schedule check the trainer's text slides
    away and back, the buttons over it light up under the pointer and when pressed, and «Готово» is back beside
    «Начать тренировку»: it keeps the schedule without starting the training.

In 1.7.14

  • The same version as iPhone and Mac 1.7.14, built from the same code. The Windows app itself has not changed since
    1.6.12: 1.7 redesigned the iPhone and Mac screens, and 1.7.14 brings them a zoomed camera picture that fills the
    space behind the panels, the orange of a running-over exit or break back in place of 1.7's yellow, a stronger
    vibration when the break ends and a double tap that zooms in where you tap.

In 1.6.12

  • «45 секунд + куртка + ключ ИЛИ до вставания» is read right: «ключ» is a trigger and «до вставания» the exit's
    condition, «встала → сразу». It used to become one trigger, «ключ ИЛИ до вставания». Plans saved with it come back
    right; «ключ или телефон» stays one trigger.
  • Conditions the trainer wrote once for the whole training now go to the exits of a minute and longer by default
    («К длинным ≥ 1 мин» in the schedule check): on a 15-second exit «легла → 1:00» never comes. «Ко всем» and «Выбрать»
    are still there.
  • «К длинным» / «Ко всем» stays when you add an exit or change an exit's time, in the schedule check, in the timeline
    and in the running schedule: a new short exit doesn't get the common conditions, an exit stretched past a minute
    does. Exits picked one by one are left as they are.
  • The trainer's 🚩 rule reads ⛔ «ждать тишины» instead of 🚩 «не входить», which looked like a command for right now.

In 1.6.11

  • «ИЛИ до вставания» is no longer a separate switch beside the exit's conditions: it is one of them, «Встала →
    сразу», and can be changed or removed like the others. The «До вставания» column in the schedule check, the switch
    in the exit's panel and «Или до вставания» in the timeline menu are gone. The switch could contradict the
    conditions («до вставания» ticked, «встала и пошла → 4:00» below it).
  • The exit's «до вставания» wins over the training's common conditions about standing up: such an exit gets
    «встала → сразу» and keeps the rest of them («легла → 3:00»). Lines written right under the exit stay as they are
    («3 минуты ИЛИ до вставания» with «встала и пошла → 1:00» under it). Plans saved by older versions are read the
    same way. «или до вставания» in the timeline and the * in the history now follow the exit's conditions.

In 1.6.10

  • One version for iPhone, Mac and Windows: this release follows 1.2.0 and matches iPhone and Mac 1.6.10, built from
    the same code. About and Diagnostics show the version with the commit it was built from, e.g. «1.6.10 (ab24690)».
  • The exit strip marks exits: ⚡ the exit has triggers («+ куртка»), 🏃 it may end before its planned time («ИЛИ до
    вставания» or a condition that comes sooner). The strip scrolls to the current exit.
  • «Остановить запись?» before a recording stops by a press (REC, Ctrl+R, the clip panel); Enter keeps recording.
    The compact window asks right in its strip. Starting a recording never asks.
  • The open list of a select is readable in the dark theme.

In 1.2.0

  • Exits get triggers («+ куртка»), conditions for coming back early («🟡 Если встала — входим через 2 минуты») and
    their own notes; the trainer's «🚩 … не входить» rule stands out in red. The schedule check shows them under each
    exit, the training shows the condition plates under the timer and the trainer's text at the bottom of the panel.

  • Conditions written once go to all exits, to the long ones (≥ 1 min) or one by one. Times are read from words too
    («через минуту», «через секунд 30», «через 1,5 минуты»); one that can't be read is shown in the trainer's words
    instead of «сразу», and «не заходя в комнату» is no longer taken for a rule.

  • A second camera (another room): the «Прихожая · Комната» switcher, Ctrl+1 / Ctrl+2. Recording stays with the main
    camera.

  • A training ends only with «Завершить»; after the last exit the break runs on, and «Ещё выход» adds an exit without
    a planned time. «Фальстарт» folds away when the trainer's window for it is over.

  • Recording is safer: two quick stops, a full disk or a file held open by Explorer or an antivirus no longer lose
    the video; after a camera drop-out each part lands at its first frame, so «jump to the exit» matches the video.
    A training is saved when Windows shuts down or signs out.

  • Shortcuts as on the Mac: Ctrl+E edits the running schedule, Ctrl+. finishes; letters work in the Russian layout
    too.

  • The server can't be switched during a training or a recording, and «Свой сервер go2rtc» no longer sends you back
    to the first-launch screen before its address is saved.

  • Security: the built-in go2rtc refuses requests that would re-point the camera from a web page, camera settings
    reach only the cameras set up here, the iPhone link refuses browser pages, and a forgotten iPhone loses camera
    access at once. Error messages are in English with the English interface.

  • The trainer's schedule (paste from Telegram/WhatsApp, Ctrl+Shift+V), review and editing before the start, big
    timers for exits and breaks, the plan-and-actual timeline, the log for the trainer.

  • Live camera through the built-in go2rtc 1.9.14 (Mi Home cameras, including homes shared with the account, and any
    go2rtc stream), a second camera; quality and the camera's night mode and other settings.

  • Recording with the training or on its own; recordings are finished as regular MP4 with AAC sound; history with
    the progress chart, the video player and "jump to the exit".

  • The iPhone app links to this computer like to a Mac (Settings → iPhone).

  • Russian and English, light and dark themes.

Install: WaitingPaws-<version>-Setup.exe (for all users; adds Windows Firewall rules for the camera on
private networks), or unpack WaitingPaws-<version>-win-x64.zip and run Waiting Paws.exe.
The app is not code-signed yet: SmartScreen asks once — "More info" → "Run anyway".

Windows 10/11 x64. Playing HEVC (H.265) recordings in other Windows players needs the "HEVC Video Extensions";
Waiting Paws itself, Telegram and browsers play them as is.

  • Exits get triggers («+ куртка»), conditions for coming back early («🟡 Если встала — входим через 2 минуты») and
    their own notes; the trainer's «🚩 … не входить» rule stands out in red. The schedule check shows them under each
    exit, the training shows the condition plates under the timer and the trainer's text at the bottom of the panel.

  • Conditions written once go to all exits, to the long ones (≥ 1 min) or one by one. Times are read from words too
    («через минуту», «через секунд 30», «через 1,5 минуты»); one that can't be read is shown in the trainer's words
    instead of «сразу», and «не заходя в комнату» is no longer taken for a rule.

  • A second camera (another room): the «Прихожая · Комната» switcher, Ctrl+1 / Ctrl+2. Recording stays with the main
    camera.

  • A training ends only with «Завершить»; after the last exit the break runs on, and «Ещё выход» adds an exit without
    a planned time. «Фальстарт» folds away when the trainer's window for it is over.

  • Recording is safer: two quick stops, a full disk or a file held open by Explorer or an antivirus no longer lose
    the video; after a camera drop-out each part lands at its first frame, so «jump to the exit» matches the video.
    A training is saved when Windows shuts down or signs out.

  • Shortcuts as on the Mac: Ctrl+E edits the running schedule, Ctrl+. finishes; letters work in the Russian layout
    too.

  • The server can't be switched during a training or a recording, and «Свой сервер go2rtc» no longer sends you back
    to the first-launch screen before its address is saved.

  • Security: the built-in go2rtc refuses requests that would re-point the camera from a web page, camera settings
    reach only the cameras set up here, the iPhone link refuses browser pages, and a forgotten iPhone loses camera
    access at once. Error messages are in English with the English interface.

  • The trainer's schedule (paste from Telegram/WhatsApp, Ctrl+Shift+V), review and editing before the start, big
    timers for exits and breaks, the plan-and-actual timeline, the log for the trainer.

  • Live camera through the built-in go2rtc 1.9.14 (Mi Home cameras, including homes shared with the account, and any
    go2rtc stream), a second camera; quality and the camera's night mode and other settings.

  • Recording with the training or on its own; recordings are finished as regular MP4 with AAC sound; history with
    the progress chart, the video player and "jump to the exit".

  • The iPhone app links to this computer like to a Mac (Settings → iPhone).

  • Russian and English, light and dark themes.

Install: WaitingPaws-<version>-Setup.exe (for all users; adds Windows Firewall rules for the camera on
private networks), or unpack WaitingPaws-<version>-win-x64.zip and run Waiting Paws.exe.
The app is not code-signed yet: SmartScreen asks once — "More info" → "Run anyway".

Windows 10/11 x64. Playing HEVC (H.265) recordings in other Windows players needs the "HEVC Video Extensions";
Waiting Paws itself, Telegram and browsers play them as is.
