Porter 0.2.37

What’s new

• Auto-update fix: LaunchAgent KeepAlive no longer races the installer (was corrupting Porter.app / leaving you stuck on older builds)
• Update API response is flushed before Porter quits, so Install no longer falsely reports “Auto-install failed — opened zip”
• Real install errors are shown; zip fallback only when auto-install is impossible
• Travel Ready: Back home stops travel mode (Sleep still only pauses peers); clearer Sleep vs Travel Ready tips

Install

Prefer the DMG for a clean install (drag to Applications → right-click → Open).
Zip is for in-app updates.

If you’re still on 0.2.34 / 0.2.36 after a failed auto-update: install this DMG once, then future in-app updates should work.

Not Apple-notarized — first open may need right-click → Open.

Porter 0.2.36

What’s new

• Travel Ready fix: Open Tailscale / Open Remote Login no longer fail with “Cannot POST …” after an in-place update
• Keepalive now restarts a stuck Node core when coreRev drifts or critical away routes return 404 (same semver, outdated process)

Install

Prefer the DMG. Zip is for in-app updates.
