main v3.6.7

[3.6.7] - 2026-08-27

Fixed

• The side-docked keyboard held its column before it had ever been raised.
  3.6.6 fixed this for the keyboard that docks along the bottom and missed the
  one that docks down the side — which is what a 1024x600 panel uses, so on a
  T431 the black band was still there on first load. Down the side it is the
  width that is given and taken back, and that only happened on a change of
  state; the column now starts collapsed, as the bottom one does.

main v3.6.6

[3.6.6] - 2026-08-27

Fixed

• The keyboard reserved an empty black band before it had ever been raised.
  On first load the space under the page was taken but no keys were drawn. The
  panel's height is set from the QML root's heightChanged, which fires on a
  change, and the root loads already zero-high — so no height was ever set and
  the layout used the size hint instead. Raising the keyboard once, by the
  toolbar button or by tapping a field, corrected it, which is what made it
  look like a state problem rather than a missing initial value.

main v3.6.5

[3.6.5] - 2026-08-24

Fixed

• The lock screen forced a window wider than a narrow panel. Its code field
  asked for a fixed 560px, and with the reveal button and margins that came to
  more than a 720x1280 T440 has — so the window could not be as small as the
  screen, and the compositor gave it decorations and pushed part of it off the
  edge. The field now follows the width available, as the rest of the screen
  already followed the height.

main v3.6.4

[3.6.4] - 2026-08-24

Changed

• The clock sits at the end of the toolbar. It was between the keyboard
  button and the Lock and Info actions, which put a read-only display in the
  middle of the things you press. The controls read as a group now.

main v3.6.3

[3.6.3] - 2026-08-24

Fixed

• The lock screen ran off a short panel. It was laid out for a tall one — a
  T440 at 720x1280 looked right, a T431 at 1024x600 lost its field and button
  off the bottom once the toolbar had taken its share. Every size now follows
  the height actually available, and on a very short panel the product mark is
  dropped rather than the field: the mark is decoration, the field is not.

main v3.6.2

[3.6.2] - 2026-08-24

Fixed

• A terminal switched to Secure while running had no way to sign off. The
  lock button was created only when security was on at startup, so a terminal
  that booted Open and was later marked Secure locked itself correctly and then
  offered nothing to lock it again. Security is a setting that changes while the
  terminal runs, so nothing may depend on its value at startup.
• Home, Remote and Back worked while the terminal was locked, on the page
  behind the lock — so anybody could navigate a terminal they had not signed on
  to, and the operator did not come back to what they left. They are disabled
  while locked. WiFi, LAN, SCADA state and Info stay reachable on purpose:
  those fix a terminal rather than drive it.

main v3.6.1

[3.6.1] - 2026-08-24

Changed

• The package describes what it actually is. The description had been
  written for a different product — "Kiosk browser for embedded Linux robots …
  for Raspberry Pi CM4 and Raspberry Pi 5" — naming neither amd64 nor the
  ITPC-200, and none of what a buyer chooses it for. This is not only apt
  metadata: the catalogue on cdn.radsys.io builds its download listing from
  this field, so editing the website would not have changed it.
• The package says which terminals it runs on, in X-Radical-Products, so
  the catalogue can show it without a second list on the website that drifts.

main v3.6.0

[3.6.0] - 2026-08-24

Added

• A terminal can lock, and ask who is signing on. A terminal in a packhouse
  is a shared machine: it runs unattended between transactions, and whoever
  walks past gets whatever the last operator left open. It now behaves like a
  desktop — it asks who you are before showing the page, and locks itself again
  when nobody has touched it.
• The site decides, on the server. A terminal marked Secure Terminal
  has security=SECURE in the setup robot-scada-client publishes, and that
  is what turns this on. Switching it back to Open removes the lock within
  seconds, with no restart and no visit — the setting is followed while the
  terminal runs, not read once at boot. WB_SECURITY only decides for a
  terminal the server has never spoken to.
• A worker signs on with one value, keyed on the pad or presented as a
  card. Cards and scanned badges arrive from wsrobot's websocket, which
  serves every reader on the terminal over one socket, and the [0] a
  multi-reader terminal prefixes is stripped — it is decoration on a card
  number, not a different card. The card option only appears when a reader is
  actually connected.
• Signing on is a check, not an authentication. It posts the Robot API's
  publishLogon and reads the answer; a refusal shows the server's own wording,
  because "Invalid Card Number / Worker not found" is what whoever the operator
  calls will recognise. Being refused and being unable to ask are different
  states and read differently.
• Locking signs the worker off, with publishLogoff — on the idle timeout,
  on the toolbar's lock button, and on shutdown. A terminal switched off
  mid-shift would otherwise leave a session nobody closes, and the record would
  say the worker never went home.
• The lock timeout is in Settings, defaulting to five minutes. Whether a
  terminal locks is not a setting there: a terminal that could switch its own
  lock off would not be a secure terminal.

Changed

• The lock covers the page and not the toolbar. WiFi, LAN, SCADA state and Info
  stay reachable without signing on, because a terminal whose network has died
  has to be fixable at the terminal, and none of those show a customer's data.
• The page keeps its state behind the lock, so unlocking returns the operator to
  exactly where they were. An idle lock never costs somebody their work.

Fixed

• A page could put a dialog on top of the lock. A page asking for HTTP
  credentials does it in a modal dialog, so a terminal meant to be asking who
  you are instead showed a password box for a page nobody had signed on to see.
  The request is refused while locked and the page reloaded on unlock, when
  there is somebody to answer it.
• The keyboard swallowed every keystroke on the lock screen. The Keyboard
  button focused the web view unconditionally, and while locked that view is
  hidden — so the panel appeared and the typing went into a page nobody could
  see, which reads exactly like a keyboard that does not work.
• The idle countdown ran from the last touch rather than from the sign-on,
  so a terminal observed on hardware locked three minutes after a worker signed
  on instead of five. The five minutes belong to their session.
