Orbit v1.1.0 — Release Notes

The terminal release. Orbit gains a real embedded shell, signed automatic
updates, and a theme that follows your OS — plus a pile of correctness fixes.

Still everything you'd expect: local-first, no account, no telemetry.

Highlights

🖥 Integrated terminal

Every project now has a real shell built in, running on a pseudo-terminal
(ConPTY on Windows, openpty on macOS/Linux) — not a piped subprocess. Because
programs see a TTY, the things that break in most embedded consoles just work:

  • Colours, prompts, spinners and progress bars
  • Full-screen programs — top, vim, lazygit
  • Ctrl-C, history, tab completion, reflow on resize

It opens in the project directory, in the shell you actually use — Orbit detects
pwsh/PowerShell/cmd on Windows and zsh/fish/bash on macOS/Linux, respecting
$SHELL/COMSPEC. bash/zsh start as login shells so your profile loads.

Tabs, split panes, output search and sessions that survive a restart are on
the roadmap.

🔄 Signed automatic updates

Orbit checks GitHub Releases on launch and offers to install a newer version in
place. Updates are signed and verified against a public key compiled into
the app, so a tampered or spoofed release can't install itself. Nothing
downloads or installs without you clicking. See
docs/updates.md.

🎨 System theme

Appearance now offers Dark / Light / System. "System" follows your OS and
updates live when it flips. Your choice is also finally remembered across
restarts — previously it silently reset to dark every launch.

🗂 Workspaces & environments, wired up

The workspace model (per-project tasks, notes, bookmarks) and the .env manager
(discovery, secret masking, duplicate/missing-variable detection) are now
reachable from the app, not just the engine.

Fixes

  • Desktop bundles wouldn't compile because an IPC type wasn't Serialize; a
    guard test now catches that class of bug in cargo test.
  • Fixed the frontend path in the Tauri before-commands that failed every build.
  • Fixed the updater signing key (it was password-protected; CI had no TTY for
    the prompt).
  • Light mode's status colours were tuned for a dark surface and washed out; they
    are re-tuned.

Upgrading

If you're on v1.0.0, install v1.1.0 over it — your local data (projects,
workspaces, settings) is preserved; the database migrates automatically. From
v1.1.0 onward, in-app updates take over.

Breaking changes

None.
