Release Kern 0.2.2 · Relf-cc/Kern-App

What's new

Six new flowchart shapes in the shape menu: terminator, decision, data, preparation, database and document.
Paste Mermaid… turns a Mermaid flowchart into real Kern shapes and connectors, laid out for you.
Copy as Mermaid goes the other way, so a board can be pasted into anything that reads Mermaid.

Kern Cloud sync no longer flickers between Syncing and a failure. A failed round now waits out its backoff instead of being retried on every keystroke, changes the server won't settle are reported once instead of being sent in a loop, and the reason for a failure is shown rather than guessed at.
The ⋯ menu on a task or card stays where it opened. Moving the pointer towards it used to hide the button underneath, and the menu would jump to the corner of the window.
Start minimised and Start maximised can no longer both be on; choosing one releases the other.
The first time the window disappears into the tray, Kern says so — it looked exactly like closing. With the tray icon turned off, minimising or closing no longer hides the window at all, which previously left no way back to it.
Signing out when Kern Cloud can't be reached now says the session is still live on the server, instead of claiming you're signed out everywhere.

Windows: download Kern_0.2.2_x64-setup.exe. Existing installs update themselves.

This release is Windows only; Linux builds stay on 0.2.0.
