Orca v0.54.0

Every app gets its icon

Apps now show their logos on the gateway's landing page, in the dashboard's Your apps, on the Workspace and Gateway pages and in the ⌘K palette.

• Most need no setting at all. The container's image picks the icon: postgres:17 gets PostgreSQL's logo, grafana/grafana Grafana's, axllent/mailpit Mailpit's. Orca knows about 80 common images.
• Or choose one with icon: in orca.yaml, a label, the workspace file or a route's Edit dialog:
  • a built-in icon, such as icon: grafana, icon: redis or icon: keycloak. There are 71: brand logos, plus generic ones such as mail, database, api and worker;
  • an image file in your repo, such as icon: assets/logo.svg. Orca reads it in, so it works offline;
  • or an image URL.
• Workspaces get icons too. Projects and shared services take icon, and routes take a description. A team lead sets each project's logo once, for everyone.

The brand icons come from Simple Icons (CC0) and the Mailpit logo from Mailpit (MIT).

Ask your AI tool whether Orca is up to date

Two new MCP tools, 74 in all:

• check_for_update tells your AI tool which version you're running, what the latest one is, and what each newer release is about. Ask "is my Orca up to date?". When you ask about a feature your version doesn't have yet, the tool can tell you it needs an update.
• offer_update brings Orca to the front with its Update prompt. Nothing installs until you click Update. On a server running only the daemon, it gives the upgrade command instead.
