Crona 1.0.0-beta.7

Crona for macOS v1.0.0-beta.7

Crona for macOS v1.0.0-beta.7 is a hot-fix release focused on the menu-bar popup experience and release packaging reliability.

Highlights

• Browse historical focus scores from the Stats tab with a compact month calendar.
• Return to today's summary directly from the selected-date control.
• Keep longer popup content usable with adaptive fitting and scrolling.
• Ensure the release DMG consistently uses the current dark background at its intended size.

Added

• Historical Stats calendar navigation with future dates disabled.
• Focus-score indicators for previously loaded calendar days.
• Background prefetching and caching for visible calendar dates.

Changed

• Stats selection now refreshes the selected day while preserving cached results during navigation.
• Day-boundary and timer events invalidate affected Stats data so summaries stay current.
• Release packaging validates the DMG background dimensions and normalizes it to 72 DPI before building.
• DMG Finder bounds remain aligned with the 720x460 background.

Fixed

• Tall Now and Stats popup content now falls back to a scrollable layout instead of being clipped.
• Returning to today from historical Stats no longer requires stepping through each day.
• Release builds no longer depend on unsupported SwiftUI toolbar visibility APIs.

Compatibility

• The release remains on the 1.0.0 beta line and should be tagged as v1.0.0-beta.7.
• The Apple marketing version stays 1.0.0; the build number increases to 8 for appcast ordering.

Crona 1.0.0-beta.5

Crona for macOS v1.0.0-beta.5

Crona for macOS v1.0.0-beta.5 tightens the last visible release edges around Dock behavior and installer presentation, while carrying forward the daemon recovery and popup polish from the previous beta.

Highlights

• Crona can now return to menu-bar-only mode after the Settings window closes, controlled by a new General preference.
• The release DMG now opens with a quieter terminal-like background and a curated drag-to-Applications Finder layout.
• The dock-hiding behavior now follows a single activation-policy path instead of relying on scattered window-close transitions.

Added

• A General setting to hide Crona from the Dock when no app window is open.
• A DMG background asset and Finder layout preparation script used by the release workflow.

Changed

• Release packaging now builds a staged DMG, applies Finder presentation, and then converts it to the final distributable image.
• The DMG background now follows a restrained terminal-like utility aesthetic instead of a more ornamental presentation.

Fixed

• Beta builds no longer stay in the Dock after the Settings window closes when Dock hiding is enabled.

Compatibility

• The release remains on the 1.0.0 beta line and should be tagged as v1.0.0-beta.5.
• The Apple marketing version stays 1.0.0; the build number increases to 5 for appcast ordering.

Crona 1.0.0-beta.4

Crona for macOS v1.0.0-beta.4

Crona for macOS v1.0.0-beta.4 makes daemon startup materially more reliable during development and normal recovery, while tightening popup presentation and establishing the repo's first full docs and release-notes structure.

Highlights

• The companion no longer trusts kernel.json as proof that the daemon is healthy; it can launch the daemon when discovery is missing or stale.
• Repeated daemon launch failures now stop in the existing connection error state instead of retrying forever in the background.
• Dev-mode daemon resolution now mirrors the core Crona project, including repo-local bin/crona-daemon-dev and repo-local go run fallback.
• Popup surfaces now enter and exit more smoothly, and the hard-limit popup layout issues reported during testing have been corrected.
• The repository now includes a proper README, docs index, changelog, and curated release-notes files for future macOS releases.

Added

• Dedicated macOS docs for install, runtime, development, release process, troubleshooting, and changelog tracking.
• Curated release-note support under docs/release-notes/.
• Daemon launch tests covering missing discovery, launch failure latching, and manual reconnect recovery.

Changed

• Centered and edge popup transitions now use smoother staging and animation.
• Hard-limit popup presentation no longer carries the earlier offset and sharp border/shadow artifacts.
• The default daemon binaries are now crona-daemon and crona-daemon-dev.
• The release workflow now uses curated release notes from docs/release-notes/<tag>.md when present.

Fixed

• Missing discovery and stale discovery now both trigger daemon launch recovery instead of waiting indefinitely for external startup.
• Failed daemon launches now surface a stable menu bar and popup error state without infinite reconnect loops.
• GUI launch environments that omit Homebrew paths now resolve daemon candidates explicitly instead of relying on /usr/bin/env.

Compatibility

• The release remains on the 1.0.0 beta line and should be tagged as v1.0.0-beta.4.
• The Apple marketing version stays 1.0.0; the build number increases for appcast ordering.
