Kitewell 0.20.0 — Public beta

Kitewell 0.20.0 is a beta update.

What's in this release

• Desktop steps on a Mac now work with an app's buttons, fields, lists, and
  checkboxes through macOS Accessibility, as on Windows. A step Kitewell
  learned replays by finding the same control again instead of clicking a
  spot on the screen, so a moved window, another display, or a title that
  changes with the document still replays without asking the model. Dropdown
  options are chosen by name, and controls in apps built on Electron are
  found too.
• A desktop step that meets a screen your workflow did not expect stops
  there. It no longer brings its window forward over an unanswered dialog;
  the run says what the dialog asks instead.
• A desktop step can answer a screen an app shows only sometimes, such as
  「入力内容をクリアします。よろしいですか？」 after a reset, whenever it
  comes up, and runs where it never appears wait nothing for it. A part only
  some runs need, such as a second contact, can depend on the run's inputs,
  decided without the model, so one workflow covers every case. A check can
  also tell whether a button or field is grayed out. Kitewell writes desktop
  workflows this way, with a step per screen and checks before anything is
  submitted, so a failed run can be retried from the step that failed.
• Desktop steps are steadier. They read and act only once the window stops
  changing, which keeps apps that rebuild their window from crashing mid-step;
  look again while no window is in front; bring a window that is behind
  another forward before clicking it; and scroll reliably. When you use the
  mouse or keyboard during a step, it waits for you to stop and then returns
  to the app it was working in. A checkbox a pinned step sets is left checked
  or unchecked as recorded, rather than clicked.
• Google Calendar is built into the API library. Connecting it takes one
  click: Kitewell adds the connection and opens Google's sign-in, and the
  connection names the Google account that signed in. It reads your calendars
  and when you are busy; reading events comes once Google completes its review
  of Kitewell's access. Disconnecting a Gmail mailbox no longer ends a calendar
  connection of the same Google account.
• A Google sign-in for an API connection now stays connected. It used to end
  after an hour.
• API specifications converted from Google's API documents import as
  expected: their actions are no longer marked unsupported, and each is named
  by what it does instead of by its path.
• A run you open in Runs & logs while it runs is now followed: the view
  selects the running step, keeps its output at the newest line, and scrolls
  the diagram and step table to it. A step waiting for you comes first, and a
  finished run lands on the failed step's errors or the step that ran last.
  Anything you do there hands the view back to you; Follow live turns
  following on again.
• A change the assistant proposes to a workflow shows its diff right in the
  proposal card, with long stretches of unchanged lines folded.
• When the assistant works a website, it asks once per site rather than once
  per host, so a sign-in that moves between www., accounts., and app. of one
  site asks once.
• An alert for a run that stopped because the included model's credits ran
  out now says so, instead of only naming the step that failed.

Upgrading

Nothing to do. Kitewell 0.19.0 updates itself to 0.20.0 at a quiet moment,
and running workflows go on across the restart.
