v0.2.0

The commands changed. Ferry now explains itself when a phone will not mount.

Upgrading from 0.1.1

brew upgrade --cask ferry does not work from 0.1.1, because the upgrade runs the
old version's uninstall step and that version does not have the command the cask now
calls. Remove it first:

brew uninstall --cask ferry
brew install --cask ferry

Changed

  • New commands. install, uninstall, devices and agent are gone.

    Was Now
    ferry install ferry enable — register with launchd and start
    ferry uninstall ferry disable — stop and deregister
    ferry devices ferry status, which already listed phones
    ferry agent ferry run, and it is no longer advertised

    New: ferry start, ferry stop and ferry restart act on Ferry now without
    changing whether it runs at login, and ferry log follows the log.

  • ferry stop now works. The launchd job used to restart the agent on any exit,
    so there was no way to stop it. A deliberate stop is now distinguished from a
    crash: stopping stays stopped, crashing is still recovered.

Added

  • When a phone cannot be mounted, Ferry says why: USB debugging switched off, the
    phone not yet allowing this Mac, adb not installed, or the phone not responding.
    Each explains what to do, and the message closes itself once the problem is
    resolved or the phone is unplugged.

Fixed

  • Notifications were attributed to "Script Editor" when terminal-notifier was
    installed somewhere unexpected.
  • A phone with a memory card logged every connect and disconnect twice, and named
    itself by serial number in some messages and by model in others.
  • A phone missing for a single moment — a jostled cable — caused both volumes to
    unmount and remount, with four notifications.
  • Browsing a folder wrote a log line for every file in it, because Finder reads each
    one to draw a thumbnail. The log records what Ferry did, not which files were
    opened.
  • An unplugged phone was logged as an error. It is expected, and Ferry recovers.
  • The log is timestamped. It was not, unless Ferry was run by hand with -v.
