CueMonkey 0.1.2

The console got an account, a colder skin, and a short walk round itself.

Whose console this is. There is a face in the corner beside the tools
now. Sign in with Google or Apple, in your own browser, and CueMonkey never
sees a password. An account is free, it covers three Macs, and you can take
one off the list yourself at cuemonkey.app/account.

What an account buys is building. Importing, starting a show and saving
one now ask for one. Opening a show somebody sent you and running it does
not, and never will. A licence still cannot stop a cue from firing.

A newer version is good news and now looks like it. The notice is green
rather than looking exactly like a screen that has stopped answering, it
carries the install, then the progress, then the restart, and a cross puts
it away for a day rather than until the next launch. Settings always has it.

One palette, shared with the website. A colder near-black, separated by
shade rather than by outlines: dialogs, menus and the account card are all
drawn on one surface now instead of four near misses. Text is a step
smaller and emphasis is carried by colour. GO and BLACKOUT did not move.

Every dialog fits the window. No more scrolling to reach the last
setting: the settings for a video cue are laid out in two columns, where a
cue goes on one side and how it plays on the other.

A short walk, the first time you open it. Four cards, one press to be
rid of them, and never while a show is on.

CueMonkey 0.1.1

Signed and notarised. Runs on Apple Silicon and Intel from one file, and carries its own ffmpeg.

CueMonkey 0.1.0

The first installable CueMonkey.

A cue console for theatre sound and video: one list of cues, one key, and the screens it plays to kept in view.

Installing. Download CueMonkey_0.1.0_universal.dmg, open it, and drag CueMonkey into Applications. It is signed with a Developer ID and notarised by Apple, so it opens like any other app: no right clicking, no warning about an unidentified developer. One file runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel.

Nothing else to install. ffmpeg and ffprobe travel inside the app, so adding sound, video and images works on a Mac that has never had Homebrew on it.

It keeps itself up to date. CueMonkey looks for a newer version once, when it opens, and never while a show is on. Installing one is always a button somebody presses.

CueMonkey.app.tar.gz is what an installed copy fetches when it updates itself. It is not meant to be opened by hand.
