Nexlink Desktop 0.2.11

Nexlink Desktop 0.2.11 — Linux (AppImage, deb) and Windows (unsigned installer: Windows may show a SmartScreen warning). Windows was validated on our CI under Wine; installation on a physical Windows machine hasn't been done yet. macOS stays on 0.2.8 (signed and notarised).

Remote help

• Windows: screen sharing and remote control work — the host is built with its native Windows backend (#356, #362).
• Linux X11: capture (XShm) and input (XTest) work in an X11 session; Wayland is unchanged (#349).
• A failed remote session is no longer silent: the person at the PC gets a notification naming the cause and what to do — locked keyring, PC not registered, missing permission, module stopped, network, pairing (#304).

Notifications

• A page message ("page_message") and a page inquiry ("page_inquiry") no longer send their body in the notification: only the title shows (#436, #439).
• Seven more types hide their body by default: hidden content, identity collision, reduced reach, journal access, refused validation, price change, points operation (#446, #697).
• Previews stay opt-in in the application menu ("Show message previews"), off by default.

Compute

• Consent screens now say when no condition is required (idle, mains power, network) and that a window or condition change is a draft until applied (#297, #298, #299).

Nexlink Desktop 0.1.0

An icon in your menu bar that tells you when a Nexlink message arrives. Clicking
the notification opens the conversation on the web version — the app never
renders a message, so there is no second place where private text can leak.

Install

OS	File	How
Windows	Nexlink.Setup.0.1.0.exe	double-click; per-user, no admin
macOS (Apple silicon)	Nexlink-0.1.0-arm64.dmg	drag to Applications
Debian / Ubuntu	nexlink-desktop_0.1.0_amd64.deb	sudo apt install ./nexlink-desktop_0.1.0_amd64.deb
Omarchy / Arch	Nexlink-0.1.0.AppImage	chmod +x, then run it (fuse2 needed: omarchy pkg add fuse2)

First run. The app opens the Nexlink sign-in window, keeps the session in
your system keyring, and then lives in the menu bar: unread count on the icon,
Open Nexlink / Messages in the menu, mute, previews, launch-at-login.

Known, and stated rather than discovered later

• Unsigned. macOS asks for right-click → Open the first time; Windows says
  "unknown publisher". The Apple Developer account exists; signing and
  notarisation are wired and start working on the next release once the
  credentials are in CI.
• Notifications arrive while the app runs. Turn on Launch at login in the
  tray menu. Electron cannot receive Web Push, so a closed app hears nothing.
• Message text is hidden by default — the notification says who, not what.
  Show message previews shows the first ~120 characters on one line.
• macOS build is Apple silicon only in this release.
