Beacon 0.4.1

Platform File
macOS (Apple Silicon) Beacon-0.4.1-arm64.dmg
Linux (AppImage, x86_64) Beacon-0.4.1-x86_64.AppImage
Linux (Debian/Ubuntu, amd64) Beacon-0.4.1-amd64.deb

Fixes

  • Setting up Prometheus on a new Mac works. In 0.4.0, "Set up Prometheus" stopped with "We couldn't get Prometheus — Check your internet connection" every time: Beacon asked for the Prometheus download at the wrong address. It now downloads it from the release itself, then checks it as before.
  • A Mac that's too old for Prometheus is told so. If Prometheus needs a newer macOS than the Mac has, Beacon says so before downloading anything.
  • "We couldn't find Prometheus" says why. After "Yes, connect to it", Beacon now tells you whether:
    • macOS isn't letting it look on your network, and how to allow it;
    • it found a Prometheus that needs updating first (update Prometheus on that computer and turn on home network);
    • nothing answered. In that case you can also type the computer's address.

If you have 0.4.0 installed, it updates itself: Beacon checks for updates soon after it opens and every few hours, downloads the update in the background, and installs it the next time you quit Beacon (⌘Q). When it's ready, the menu bar icon also offers "Beacon v0.4.1 ready — restart to install".

macOS: app and disk image signed, notarized and stapled (Developer ID). Linux: AppImage and deb are not signed.
