[0.3.0] - 2026-09-29

Install on Pop!_OS / Ubuntu 24.04 or newer: download apsis_0.3.0-1_amd64.deb below, then sudo apt install ./apsis_0.3.0-1_amd64.deb. Run man apsis or see the README's "How to use".

A status you can read at a glance, and a window that does the work. The panel popup is now a
read-only overview; creating, deleting, settings and restore are in the window.

Added

  • A status model behind the panel: the tooltip shows last, next (manual only, for now) and
    disk; the icon takes the warning colour when a snapshot is overdue or the disk is low, and
    the destructive colour when the disk is nearly full.
  • An optional panel label beside the icon: the age of the newest snapshot and the share of the
    backup disk in use (horizontal panels only). Off by default; a setting.
  • The apsis strip in the window: last and next on the left, the backup disk and its bar on the
    right.
  • Disk warning colours: the bar turns to the theme's warning and destructive colours as free
    space runs low.
  • The activity pane shows progress and the time left while a snapshot is created or restored.
  • A four-room window: snapshots, create (beside the list), schedule (keep and remind) and log,
    switched with 1-4 or by clicking the dock.

Changed

  • The panel popup is a read-only overview: the strip, the newest snapshots, open apsis,
    refresh and close. Nothing is created, deleted or restored from it.
  • Theme audit: every colour comes from the COSMIC theme (accent, divider, background, warning,
    destructive); the only derived colours are faded versions of those.
  • A leftover from an interrupted snapshot is reported as one plain line ("leftover from an
    interrupted snapshot, safe to delete") instead of the raw staging path and timestamp; the path
    goes to the journal.
  • New screenshots in the README and the metainfo: the window, the create and schedule rooms,
    and the panel popup.

Known issues

  • With a theme whose background is translucent, the accent border of the active pane tints the
    whole pane. Changing the theme avoids it; a proper fix waits for libcosmic.
