0.6.1
Pandrator 0.6.1 is a focused reliability release for the new Pandrator Manager, with the first packaged preview of the Pandrator MCP sidecar.
Fixed
- Fixed #95: a Manager-installed Pandrator checkout could fail at startup because the locked Pixi environment did not include
requestsand other application dependencies. pyproject.tomlis now the single source of truth for Pandrator's Python runtime dependencies. Pixi installs that local project into its locked environment instead of maintaining a partial duplicate dependency list.- FFmpeg remains an explicit cross-platform Pixi runtime dependency.
- Fixed the generic Manager runtime API, CLI, and MCP path retaining a pre-install fallback launch specification after the first Pandrator activation. Install followed immediately by Start now uses the active checkout and its locked Pixi environment without requiring a Manager restart.
- Added Windows and Linux CI coverage for the exact
pixi run --locked python -m pandrator --helplaunch contract and a regression check that prevents Python dependencies from drifting back intopixi.toml.
Pandrator Manager 0.9.1
- Includes the Qt-free Windows x86-64 launcher, Linux x86-64 AppImage, signed platform update bundles, and Python wheel/source distributions.
- Existing Manager 0.9.0 installations can accept the sequence-2 Ed25519-signed update manifest.
- Remote setup remains supported for trusted LAN/VPN systems, external HTTPS servers, home servers, and pods through explicit application and recovery origins.
Pandrator MCP 0.1.0 preview
- Agents can explain Pandrator, provide packaged workflow guidance, inspect a live instance, and perform bounded application and Manager actions.
- Complex writes use immutable plans, exact digests, revisions, confirmations, and idempotency keys.
- The local stdio sidecar supports local Manager targets, trusted LAN/VPN targets, external HTTPS deployments, and optional app-down Manager recovery without placing credentials in prompts or MCP arguments.
- README recipes cover Codex as the maintained live host gate and generate secret-free configuration fragments for Claude Code, OpenCode, and Antigravity.
For a normal desktop install, download and run PandratorManager-0.9.1-windows-x86_64.exe or PandratorManager-0.9.1-x86_64.AppImage. Running either without arguments starts guided setup.
The Windows executable is intentionally not Authenticode-signed, so Windows may show a SmartScreen warning. Manager update bundles are independently verified by SHA-256 and Pandrator's embedded Ed25519 release key. Every uploaded artifact also has a .sha256 sidecar.
