Vela Server v0.1.17

Added

Vela now shows everything it is doing for you in one place. An automation
run, an agent desktop's task, an update, a backup, an app being installed and
the health sweep are all listed the same way, in the same words. System gains
an Activity section listing what needs you, what is running and what has just
finished; the notification bell counts what is waiting on a person and lists
it above the recent events; and the desk's "Needs you" widget shows it beside
the apps that asked for you. All four read one list, so they cannot disagree.

Changed

Deleting an automation asks first. "Delete permanently" in an
automation's menu used to remove it and its history on the click, with no
confirmation. It now asks, like removing an app or deleting a desktop.
Signing out, removing an app, deleting a desktop, deleting a bot, deleting
a conversation, clearing a log, resetting the desk and closing a window with
unsaved work all ask in the same dialog. Signing out used the browser's own
prompt; the rest each had a dialog of their own. What they say is unchanged.
For contributors: four shared foundations in the dashboard. The check
command now runs ratchet guards over the source tree — style ownership, the
browser-API boundary, the status vocabulary and inline styles — each against a
committed baseline that may only shrink. web/src/operations/ gives every
kind of background work one shape and one status vocabulary. useForm and
useConfirm own form state and confirmation. web/src/storage.js and
web/src/clipboard.js are the only places that touch browser storage, the
clipboard or window.open. Two concurrent identical GETs now share one
request, which took one desk load in development from 43 requests to 25 while
showing more than it did. See docs/DEVELOPMENT.md and docs/TESTING.md.

Fixed

Copy buttons work on a server reached over plain HTTP. "Copy link" on the
phone-handoff and iOS install screens, and "Copy" on an Ask message, used the
clipboard API, which browsers do not provide outside a secure context — so on
a home-network server over HTTP they silently did nothing. They now fall back
to selecting the text and copying it.
A double-clicked Save sends one request. A second click that arrived
before the button could disable itself sent the form twice.
The rail says which app's page you are on again. A pinned or running app's
rail entry stopped carrying that mark for screen readers when it became a
button that opens a window.

Vela Server v0.1.11

Changed

The desk is a desktop now. The search sits in the middle of the wallpaper
where a launcher's does, and the buttons that used to crowd it moved into a
⋯ menu at the top-right and a right-click (long press on a phone) on
the wallpaper: Add widget, Arrange desk, Personalise, and Reset desk to
put a board back the way Vela ships it. Right-click a widget for its own
quick menu — open its app, resize it, or remove it — without arranging the
whole board. A fresh desk fills the screen with no bare gaps, and your apps
show as a labelled icon grid with Open all leading to the Launchpad.
Apps open in a real window. An app you open now has its own title bar: a
back arrow to where you came from, its name and whether it is running, and a
⋯ menu to pin it to the rail, add its widget to your desk, reach its
settings, reload it, open it in a new tab, stop it or close it — no more second
search box above the app. While an app is starting you see it over a dimmed
background, and if it never answers Vela says so and offers to reload or stop
it. Opening an app that is no longer installed leads back to the Marketplace.
An app can ask (with view.appearance) for its title bar to stay dark so a
dark app is not topped by a light strip.
The Library is now the Marketplace. One place — still at the same
address — to find, install, update and remove apps, in three tabs. Discover
shows the apps you do not have yet, led by a small featured row. Installed
is everything on this computer, connected websites included, where you open an
app to update or remove it. Updates gathers the apps with a newer release
and can update them all at once. The separate Manage apps page is gone; its job
lives in the Installed tab.
The rail is yours to arrange. It now shows the apps you pin plus whatever
is open, instead of every app you have installed. Desk and the Launchpad stay
at the top; below them are your pinned apps — Ask and the Marketplace to start —
then the apps that are open but not pinned, then Settings. Right-click an app
on the rail or in the Launchpad (or press and hold on a phone) to pin, unpin
or reorder it. Vela's own tools — Ask, Automations, the Marketplace, Settings and
System — are core apps now: they show in the Launchpad under Vela, they
turn up in search, and they can be pinned like any app. The old More menu
is gone.

Added

Keyboard shortcuts and phone gestures. Press ? (or Ctrl+/) for the
full list: Ctrl+K searches, Ctrl+Space opens or closes the Launchpad,
Ctrl+1–Ctrl+9 open the pinned apps in rail order, and Esc backs
out. On a phone, swipe up from the bottom of the desk to open the Launchpad and
swipe down from its top to close it.
A full-screen Launchpad. Opening Apps now fills the screen with every
app over your blurred wallpaper, not a side drawer. A search in the middle
filters as you type and Enter opens the first match; Ctrl+Space
(Cmd+Space on a Mac) opens or closes it from anywhere and Escape steps
back. Apps that are running come first, then everything installed, then
Vela's own tools, and a last tile leads to the Marketplace. Right-click a tile —
or press and hold it on a phone — to open it, add its widget to your desk,
reach its settings, stop it or remove it.

Removed

The All apps drawer is gone. Its job — every app in one place — is the
Launchpad now, so there is one answer to "which apps do I have" instead of a
drawer, a Manage apps page and the Library all showing the same set.

Vela Server v0.1.10

v0.1.10

a3f97f2

Vela Server v0.1.10

Added

Apps can put a summary on your desk. An app may declare up to four widgets
and publish a short summary for each — a number, a few rows, or how far
something has got. Vela draws them itself, always labelled with the app they
came from, and nothing the app sends can run. The permission is asked for at
install as "Show summaries on your desk" and names the widgets; refuse it and
the app works as before. A summary that is out of date says when it was from,
one that has not arrived yet offers to open the app, and an app that says
something needs you raises a dot on its rail icon. Uninstalling an app removes
its summaries. Notes and Health are the first two apps to use this.
Make the desk yours. Personalise, above the board, sets the wallpaper
— one of three that ship with Vela, or your own JPEG, PNG or WebP up to 8 MB,
kept on your own computer — and whether the wallpaper is dimmed, whether app
names show under their icons, and whether Ask sits on the board you are
looking at. On a phone, press and hold an empty part of the wallpaper to open
it. The phone board now opens on the time, anything that needs you, your apps
as an icon grid, and Ask.
Arrange your desk. Add widgets from a grouped list, move and resize them
by dragging or with the arrow keys, duplicate or remove them from each
widget's own menu, and undo or redo while you work. Done saves the board
to your server, so it is the same after a restart and in another browser;
Cancel puts it back, and leaving with unsaved changes asks first. The
desktop and phone boards are saved separately and never rearrange each other.
On a phone, press and hold a widget to start arranging.
Desk widgets for your server. The desk can now show System (uptime,
CPU over the last few minutes and memory use), Volume (how full a folder
you choose is, and how much is free), Flows (automation runs today,
failures and the average run) and Backups (when Vela last backed itself
up, with Back up now). Add the folders you want to watch under
Settings › Desk; Vela only reports how full they are. A server that cannot
read its own CPU and memory says so instead of showing zeros.

Changed

The rail shows what is open, and All apps holds the rest. Apps the server
is running now sit together at the top of the rail under an OPEN label, above
your other apps. A new All apps control opens every installed app over
whatever page you are on, with a search field, what is running first and each
app's version, and one way to add another. Manage apps has a different icon so
the rail never shows the same one twice.
Vela opens on a desk. The home screen is now a board of widgets over a
wallpaper instead of a plain app launcher: your apps, the time, what is
running and your latest Ask conversation, with the rail beside it. Widgets
only show what Vela actually knows, so nothing on the board is a placeholder.
The desktop board is six columns wide and the phone board two, each laid out
and saved on its own, and both are kept on your server so they are the same
after a restart and in another browser.
