BODAQS Desktop 0.1.6-alpha Release Notes

Release date: 2026-07-14

BODAQS Desktop 0.1.6-alpha is a Windows desktop bundle containing the BODAQS
Import Manager, local Library Service, bundled BODAQS Workbench web app, and an
optional demonstration library. This release is primarily about making the local
"website in a box" workflow installable and testable without requiring users to
run Python, start services manually, or own a logger before trying the
Workbench.

Headline Changes Since 0.1.5-dev

  • The desktop installer now packages the Import Manager, Library Service, and
    bundled Workbench together as BODAQS Desktop.
  • The Import Manager can launch and stop the local BODAQS Workbench stack from
    prominent Open BODAQS Workbench and Stop BODAQS Workbench controls.
  • First-run setup has been simplified with a workspace setup prompt, default
    library/default local archive source creation, and safer handling of existing
    workspaces.
  • The installer can optionally install a curated BODAQS Demo Library, enabled
    by default, with an overwrite option for replacing an existing demo library.
  • The Workbench has had substantial performance work across browser-side
    caching, memoisation, and server-side adequacy caching.
  • Session management in the browser now includes guarded single-session delete,
    multi-delete, session rename, right-click actions, note copy/paste, and richer
    date/time filtering.
  • The browser gained a selected-session signal preview, column resizing,
    improved table control layout, standardised row highlighting, and more compact
    panel behaviour.
  • Simple Suspension Analysis now opens as a dedicated browser tab and includes
    a left-side select/filter pull-out, time-window controls, bookmark shortcuts,
    signal-inspector entry points, histogram/ECDF display modes, charted summary
    statistic glyphs, and optional millimetre displacement display.
  • The Signal Inspector now uses the uPlot-based charting path, supports smoother
    window navigation, bookmark creation/rename/display, GPS context, event dots,
    responsive axes, and disambiguated signal names when duplicate motion-source
    semantics are present.

Installer And Demo Library

The installer offers the demonstration library as an optional task. The demo
library installs into the selected workspace root alongside normal user
libraries.

Default installer behaviour:

  • Install demonstration library is checked by default.
  • Overwrite existing demonstration library is checked by default and is a
    child option of demo-library installation.
  • If demo installation is enabled and overwrite is disabled, the installer will
    leave an existing demo library in place.

Notes And Limitations

  • This installer is not code-signed. Windows may show unknown-publisher or
    SmartScreen warnings.
  • The Library Service is intended to run locally and is launched by the Import
    Manager; it is not installed as a Windows service.
  • The Workbench is served from the bundled local Library Service.
  • The package remains large because it includes Python, scientific processing
    dependencies, the local web app, and the demonstration library.
  • This is an alpha desktop bundle. It is suitable for evaluation and guided
    testing, not yet a polished stable release.
