KiwiDesk 1.1.2

Highlights

Switching a layout from the menu bar and then saving in Settings
used to undo the switch — that is fixed, and the menu row that
makes a switch permanent now says what it does. BSP also picks a
new default split, which changes how untouched setups tile.

Saving in Settings stopped undoing your layout

• Save no longer puts the old layout back. Switch a Space to
  Monocle from the menu bar, then open Settings to change a gap
  and press Save: the Space used to snap back to whatever the
  profile held, and that is what got saved — the switch was
  destroyed by saving something unrelated. Save now touches only
  what you changed in Settings, so the gap is saved and the
  Monocle switch stays on screen, still temporary until you keep
  it. Changing a Space's layout in Settings itself is a real
  edit, and that one wins.
• The menu row is now "Keep Layout in Profile ‹name›". Same
  action, honest name: a layout switched from the menu bar is
  temporary until you keep it, which is how macOS words this
  choice elsewhere.
• That row lights up whenever any screen is on a temporary
  layout, not only the screen you are looking at. It writes the
  whole profile, so it used to grey itself out while another
  screen's menu said the layout was unsaved.
• Settings no longer narrates temporary layouts at all. The
  menu bar's "not saved to profile" line is now the single place
  a temporary layout is announced — and Revert went back to being
  just "discard my edits".

BSP splits alternately now

• New windows alternate horizontally, then vertically, as they
  nest. That alternation is what most people mean by BSP; the
  old default cut each area's longer side, which read as the
  layout misbehaving rather than as a choice. Both options are
  still there, in BSP's settings and in bsp.set_strategy.
• This changes how you tile if you never picked a strategy.
  If you did pick one — in Settings or in your config — it is
  stored and nothing moves. Fresh installs and untouched setups
  get the new default.

Floating spaces respect your bars

• A window in a Floating space is now pushed clear of the App
  Bar and the Space Bar, the same as a window you floated by
  hand. It could previously sit underneath one with its title bar
  covered, and nothing ever moved it back out.

Smaller things

• Settings shows just the version number. The build hash moved to
  kiwidesk --version, which is where support asks for it.
• Release plumbing: the release notes and the update feed publish
  themselves again, without a hand on the wheel.
