flatus v0.2.0

flatus v0.2.0

A small apparatus for moving air.

First user-facing release of the desktop shell. If you tried v0.1.x and the
window felt frozen, the first-launch card refused to leave, or the tray menu
felt unresponsive — this is the release that fixes that. The synthesis core
(fart-synth, the CLI, the website instrument) is unchanged and still
byte-identical to the published golden fixtures.

What changed for users

• First launch behaves. Click looks good once and the card is gone for
  good; it only comes back when you press Show help again.
• Fart now is responsive. From either the tray menu or the window, the
  click returns immediately; audio renders and plays on a background thread
  so the UI never blocks.
• Audible previews. Editing the seed, rolling a new seed, or switching
  personality now plays the same three-event session you'd get from Fart now, so you can audition voices without ever opening the menu.
• No more "two voices" overlap. Manual and background fires now share one
  output mutex, so they queue instead of mixing into a confused stack.
• Larger, brighter preview waveform. The in-window scope now matches the
  website instrument: same palette, same two-pass glow, fills the visible
  height even on quiet buffers.
• Menubar icon fits the menubar. The italic f plus three brand grains,
  drawn at the right size for a 22 px template image (the previous glyph was
  getting clipped at the top).

Install

• macOS Apple Silicon DMG: download flatus_0.2.0_aarch64.dmg from this
  release and drag flatus.app into /Applications.

• One-liner installer (handles quarantine xattr too):

  curl -fsSL https://flatus.vercel.app/install.sh | bash

The .app is still unsigned. On macOS 15+ the first launch may need
xattr -cr /Applications/flatus.app once; see the README's First launch
section.

Verification

• cargo check --workspace
• cargo test
• pnpm --dir apps/desktop tauri build

Known limits

• macOS Apple Silicon only for the packaged app.
• Notarization is not yet in the pipeline.
• CLI on Linux/Windows still works from source (cargo install --path crates/fart-synth).
