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.app and 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.
