Redstone Desktop 0.2.2
Fixes a window that flashed and reloaded on a weak connection, and tells you when
the connection is the problem.
Fixed
- The window no longer flashes on a bad network. The offline screen retried
by re-opening the main window on a fixed 15-second timer, so an intermittent
connection produced a loop — error screen, reload, fail, error screen — that
also raised and focused the window on top of whatever you were doing.
Recovery is now detected by probing the server, on a backoff that grows from
2s to 60s, and the view is navigated once, after the server has answered. - One dropped packet no longer replaces a working page with an error screen.
The first failed load is retried quietly; only the second explains itself.
Added
- A connection banner in the desktop bar. A dropped connection used to be
invisible until the whole view went blank. The bar now distinguishes "No
internet connection" from "Can't reach ", because those need
different reactions, and confirms when the connection is back. - The offline screen names the failure, counts down to the next check, and
returns on its own when the network does.
macOS builds are signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized, app and disk
image both. Windows and Linux are unsigned; SmartScreen will ask once.
