Sioul 0.0.8

Sioul 0.0.8: your people, one agenda, money as it moves, invitations

Update every computer first, then the phone, and do not go back to 0.0.7:
it does not know the new records of money, availability and meetings.

• Your people: a person is one object across Sioul, tied to their papers,
  contacts, budgets and agendas. An agenda can hold a child's events, with who
  takes them, stand-ins and who does what.
• One agenda: meals, naps, nights, tasks and events on one timeline, each with
  its name. Drag a block or its edges in 5-minute steps; a task plan moves
  around it and says so. "Had it" for what came early, "+" on an empty stretch.
  Time zones, series with any interval, calendar files opened and imported.
• The event card: status, participants and their answers, a map on press,
  directions by geo:, addresses suggested as you type.
• Invitations for meetings you organize: guests with suggestions, each meeting
  told by your drafts or by its server, never both, said before saving. Status
  and deleting one time of a series are told the same way.
• Hours by pointer or by keyboard: a grid of hours and minutes in every form,
  typed times read as 1430, 14:30, 14h30 or 930.
• Tasks: a due hour that means "done by"; a task before one time of a repeating
  event, its date following that time; checklists, Markdown notes, an appointment
  and its steps tied both ways.
• Availability: several availabilities, each shared several ways, the server's
  way first, kept up to date from your freshest device.
• Money: what was paid, the fees and what arrived, payouts that carry their
  payments, four tabs, the history of money mail, the declaration and its
  receipts register as CSV and PDF.
• Mail: all addresses in one list, a Letters page, topics with presets and manual
  tagging, one filter by area and address. Spam, Not spam, and leaving the lists
  of mail you called spam: one click, for proven senders only, with ten seconds
  to undo and a switch in Settings.
• Ties: Ctrl+G opens the chain of what each thing is tied to, both ways.
• Every change reaches every view, and comes back from other programs too.
• Fixes in sync: an event moved twice stays moved and on a server; one draft for
  one guest and one change; a sync does not stop on one item.

Not yet tried against real servers: sharing and scheduling on Nextcloud, Google
Calendar's API, and what other programs do with what Sioul sends. Say what you
see: the issues are open.

Sioul's packages, built by GitHub from this version's sources. Sioul is young: keep a copy of your mail and your notes elsewhere, as with any new program.

System	Package	How
Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit)	sioul-0.0.8-setup.exe	Run it; Windows may say it does not know the publisher (the package is not signed yet): "More info", then "Run anyway".
macOS 13 and later, Apple silicon and Intel	Sioul-0.0.8-macos-universal.dmg	Open it and drag Sioul into Applications. It is not notarised yet: the first time, open it from Applications, then System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ "Open Anyway".
Linux, any distribution (x86-64)	Sioul-0.0.8-x86_64.AppImage	chmod +x Sioul-*.AppImage, then run it. On Ubuntu 24.04 and later, the Sites page runs without Chromium's sandbox there: prefer the Flatpak.
Linux, with Flatpak	Sioul-0.0.8.flatpak	flatpak install --user Sioul-0.0.8.flatpak (the KDE runtime and Qt WebEngine come from Flathub).
Android 9 and later, 64-bit phones	Sioul-0.0.8-android-arm64.apk	Download it on the phone and open it; when Android asks, allow your browser or file manager to install apps. Signed with Sioul's key: the next version installs over it, your data kept.

The command line, sioul, comes with each computer's package (sioul mcp connects an AI agent: see the guide).
