Repot 0.6.0 (beta)

Highlights

Compare a Repot file with this machine. After opening an old machine's repot.json, choose Compare with this machine. Repot scans this machine and marks each item Already here or Different here, and starts with only the missing items selected, so the export holds just what this machine still needs.

• Items are matched the way the restore script checks them: packages by the name used on this OS (including mapped names), runtimes by version, extensions by ID, and config files by place and contents with secrets masked on both sides.
• Config files that differ are not selected at first, so the export never replaces a file you set up on this machine unless you turn it on.
• The comparison shows only when the destination is this machine's OS. Nothing on this machine is changed by comparing.

Also in this release: the release page lists which file to download for each OS.

Unsigned beta. Not code-signed or notarized yet; see the README for first launch on macOS and Windows.
