Houston 0.4.23
A reliability release. Connecting apps no longer hangs, skills keep working
after they move or get renamed, and a few things that used to break now
recover on their own. Plus a quick way to act on a whole board column at once.
Drop-in on top of 0.4.22, no breaking changes.
Added
- Act on a whole column at once. Each board column header now has a menu
with "Select all in column," so you can move or update every card in a stage
without clicking them one by one.
Fixed
- Connecting an app no longer hangs. Signing in to a connected app could
stall for over five minutes with no sign of life. It now finishes quickly or
tells you clearly what to do, instead of freezing. - More connection links just work. Some apps hand back a plain web address
when you connect them. Houston now accepts that and carries on. - Adding a skill from a pasted command or link. Paste a full command or a
web address and Houston works out the right skill to add, and clearly refuses
genuine nonsense instead of failing in a confusing way. - Renamed or moved skills keep working. A skill that was renamed or moved
used to quietly disappear. Houston now finds it by its folder, so it keeps
showing up. - A damaged scheduled-tasks list repairs itself. One bad entry used to break
your whole list of scheduled tasks. Houston now fixes it and keeps the rest. - A brief hiccup no longer drops your chat. A momentary blip between Houston
and its engine could show "Load failed." It now retries quietly and recovers. - Steadier first-run setup. Creating your default workspace on first launch
is now safe to retry, so a hiccup during setup can't leave you stuck or
duplicated.
Before you upgrade
- Mac: quit Houston before installing. macOS does not always replace a
running app cleanly. If in doubt, remove/Applications/Houston.appand drag
the new copy in. - Windows x64: auto-update from 0.4.7 or later pulls you forward
automatically. The MSI is still not OS-code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may
warn on a fresh install. - Windows ARM64: there is no auto-update path from an emulated x64 install.
Download the ARM64 MSI manually, uninstall the x64 build first, then install
the ARM64 one.
