v1.2.0

Chinese, a change to the first-time setup, and a monitor that tells you why.

The interface now speaks Simplified Chinese as well as English, Italian, German,
French and Spanish. As with the others, it is written as decisions rather than
translated: the voice is 你, as in Windows 11's own Chinese interface, and the
punctuation is full width. A browser asking for Traditional Chinese gets the
Simplified catalogue.

A change in behaviour: the first-time setup is accepted only from this PC.
Until now, while no password existed (at the first start and after a password
reset), any device on the home network could set one. Now only the PC running
the monitor can. After that, signing in works from any device as before.

What the monitor now says instead of guessing:

• A camera or microphone refused in Windows privacy settings is reported as
  refused, not as a stopped capture. The notification-area panel then offers the
  button that opens the right Settings page.
• While Windows is still asking for permission, the monitor waits for the
  answer instead of reporting a missing microphone.
• A microphone muted in Windows is reported as muted, not as silent.
• A missing camera is written to the log once, not three lines every thirty
  seconds for as long as it stays missing.

And a few things it now does on its own:

• The PC stays awake while the monitor runs. Before, the sleep timer could
  switch off a monitor at two in the morning with nothing reported. The screen
  can still turn off. powercfg /requests shows who is keeping the PC awake,
  and why.
• Shutting down or logging off closes the monitor cleanly: the clip being
  written is finished and the log records that it was a shutdown, not a crash.
• The recordings folder is tested at start-up by writing a file in it, so a
  folder the monitor cannot write to shows up then, not at the first clip.

The notification-area panel uses the Windows typeface and wraps long lines instead
of cutting them. A notice's button now sits under its own line, and the selection
starts at the top.

What PAT Monitor is not is now stated on the sign-in page, at the end of the
guided setup and at the foot of the details, in all six languages: it is not a
medical device or a safety system, it can miss a sound or a movement, and it calls
no one.

Also in this release: Tailscale v1.102.4 and current versions of the WebRTC
libraries, and a privacy policy
that describes what the program does with information.

To update, close the monitor and unpack the zip over the old folder. The zip comes
with a detached signature made with the same key as the previous releases.
