v2.2.0
Install friction was the focus: Docker is no longer a wall, and there are two new low-friction ways to stand Helio up.
Highlights
- Bulletproof Docker UX — the installer and
helio doctornow diagnose the real failures and fix the safe ones: Linux socket-permissions vs a stopped daemon, macOS engine start, and on Windows a missing WSL2 backend (offerswsl --install) or CPU virtualization disabled in the BIOS. - One-paste cloud-VM deploy — paste
infra/cloud/helio-cloud-init.yamlas a Linux VM's user-data and Helio installs itself on first boot. - Self-resetting public demo —
infra/cloud/helio-demo-cloud-init.yamlbrings up a demo that restores a golden snapshot every 6 hours. - Faster /settings on weak machines — the settings panels are code-split, cutting first-load client JS by ~92 KB (−10%) with no UI change.
- Track your bug reports — reported issues now show live status (synced from GitHub), and a resolved report nudges you to update once the fix ships.
