Release Field Notes v0.11.2 · sparkly-quasar/field-notes

Phone access no longer takes over a port another app is using. If something
else on your computer is already published to your tailnet — a chat interface, a
media server, anything using tailscale serve — Field Notes now publishes
alongside it on a free port instead of quietly replacing it. Previously it
claimed the standard HTTPS port whatever was already there, which took the other
service off your tailnet without saying so.
The pairing QR code now points where the portal actually is. When Field Notes
publishes on a different port, the QR code and the address shown on screen carry
that port. Before, they always showed the standard address, so on a machine
running other services the QR could send your phone to the wrong app entirely.
Turning phone access off only turns off Field Notes. It now retracts its own
connection and nothing else. Before, it switched off the standard port
unconditionally, which could take down an unrelated service while leaving the
journal published.

These only affect computers running other tailnet services alongside Field Notes;
if it's the only one, nothing changes.
