v1.20.0

Tisty 1.20.0

Nothing to migrate: the log stays on schema 14, so this build and 1.19.0 read
each other's stores and you can update one machine before the other.

A door offered to whoever already works with an assistant

Settings has always had a door for your assistant, and nobody who did not go
looking ever found it. Now, if there is an assistant installed on this machine
and none of them is wired to Tisty yet, a small card appears once in the corner
after you have used the app for real: your assistants can work with you — write,
read and organise your documents, and propose you tasks. The button does not
open the door. It walks you to Settings, where what an assistant can and cannot
do is written down, and you decide there. It never appears while the guide is
open, never covers what you are doing, and never comes back once you answer.
The card is not shown at all to anyone who has already wired an assistant: they
plainly know where the door is.

A log that another writer holds is left alone

Tisty rotates its own log once it grows past a quarter of a megabyte. It was
supposed to stand aside when another copy of Tisty was writing to that file, and
it did not: the check it used could only see a disk error, not a lock somebody
else was holding, so it renamed the file out from under a live writer. Whatever
that writer appended next went to a file nothing would read again. The lock is
now taken through the standard library, where a held lock is an error like any
other, and a test holds the lock to prove it.

The loose command line, for whoever wants only that

The signed command line ships again as its own download, next to the installers:
a single binary for Windows and a universal one for Mac. The app carries its own
copy, so this is for people who want the terminal and the assistant door without
the window.

A parcel says what it is

Hand somebody a .tistyx and until now they had a file they could not open and no
reason to trust it. The parcel now carries a README.txt, in English and Spanish:
it is an ordinary zip, the documents are inside docs/ as plain Markdown any
editor will read, and Tisty opens it whole and is free and open source. Nothing
about the format changed, and a parcel written by this build still opens in the
last one.

Smaller, and worth knowing

The two buttons on the card that asks for a star did not fit in Spanish — they
wrapped, and the second one drifted off to the right. They fit now in both
languages, and if a longer translation ever arrives they wrap as two lines
instead of one stranded button. Underneath, the file locks, the Windows Store
plumbing and the whole front-end toolchain moved a major version each, with no
change you can see.
