New

  • Locust in a browser opens at once. Opened again, app.locust.lol/desk shows straight away the conversations, team and turns it showed last time, under a thin line saying it is what Locust last showed and when, and opens live as soon as your computer answers. With your computer off or the relay out of reach, you can still read what it last showed; nothing can be changed from it until it is live. What the browser keeps is sealed with a key the browser itself holds and will not hand out, and forgetting the pairing forgets it too.
  • Routines, teammates and rooms from a browser. Locust in a browser now makes, edits, runs, pauses and removes routines, keeps or discards what a routine changed in its copy, makes, edits and removes teammates, and makes rooms, posts to them and moves their board. What opens something on your computer -- choosing a folder, importing or exporting a file -- and what a teammate may spend, its folder, connectors, skills and keys are still changed only in Locust on your computer, and the browser says so.
  • Routines as Markdown files. Export a routine and you get Name.routine.md: what it asks for and where it runs at the top, then its name and each step in its own words, under ## Step 1, ## Step 2 and so on. Read it, share it, edit it in any editor, and import it again -- Locust reads it with the same checks as before, and still reads the older .locust-routine.json files.

Improved

  • Big token counts read as billions. Usage now writes 1.1B instead of 1133M, and a count about to read as a thousand of one unit is written as one of the next (1.0B, never 1000M).
  • A key asked for reads as one line. When a teammate asks for a key, its answer now says "Asks for the key NAME (below)", and the reason it gave is on the card with the box, instead of standing alone in the answer.

Download

Your computer File
Windows 10 or 11 Locust-0.834.0-setup.exe

Any other Linux Locust-0.834.0-linux-x86_64.AppImage

Or download it at locust.lol. After that, Locust tells you when a new version is out, and on Windows, Mac and the AppImage it installs it for you. The Windows and Mac builds are not signed by a publisher yet, so each asks once before it opens: what to press.

The SHA-256 sum of every file is in SHA256SUMS.txt.
