Method Budget 0.3.0

Method Budget 0.3.0

A fuller Help menu, a command line named for the app, and Mac builds made for Apple
silicon. It also brings the saving and opening fixes that were ready for 0.2.1.

Help when you need it

• Report a Bug. Help > Report a Bug… opens a new issue on GitHub with the version and
  your system already filled in. Nothing from your budgets is ever included.
• The user guide, licences and the suite. Help now has User Guide, Licenses and
  Notices (the app's licence and the third-party software it carries) and a link to the
  Method Production Suite. About Method Budget shows the licence too.

The command line is method-budget

• A name that says which app it is. The command line is now method-budget, so it
  sits clearly beside the other apps in the suite. The old name, method, still works
  for now and prints a one-line note when you use it.
• Coding agents and git keep working. Agent setups and git merge driver settings that
  run method mcp or method merge-driver carry on unchanged and print no note. The
  agent server also speaks the newest version of the agent protocol.
• Command line edits follow the app's rules. Money typed on the command line rounds
  the way the app rounds it, and line fields and fringe changes are checked the same way.

Fixed

• Saving through a link keeps the link. A budget opened through a symbolic link now
  saves into the file the link points to, instead of replacing the link with a copy.
• The command line and shared folders save as carefully as the app. Each save writes a
  complete new file before it replaces the old one, so a crash or a full disk mid-save
  never leaves half a budget or a stray temporary file behind.
• Oversized files are refused. A budget or a collaborator's change file larger than
  256 MB is turned away with a clear message instead of filling memory.

Good to know

• Mac builds are for Apple silicon from now on. Intel Macs keep the version they
  have. Asking an Intel Mac to check for updates says so instead of reporting an error.
• Updates now come from the Method Production Suite on GitHub. The old address
  forwards there, so nothing needs doing.
• Downloads have names without a version number, such as Method-Budget-macOS.dmg, so
  a download link always points at the newest release.
• Windows and Linux builds are included but not yet tested by hand, and they don't
  update themselves yet.
• The method name will go away in a later release. Change scripts to
  method-budget when it suits you.

Who helped

• masyarakatai, for two documentation fixes: the git merge driver's name in the README,
  and a stale note in the website's not-found page.
