Changelog
Release notes for the desktop app. Downloads for every version: overwire.io. The CLI is versioned independently on npm and is not covered here.
1.0.1 — 2026-07-09
Section titled “1.0.1 — 2026-07-09”A friendlier first launch, with a built-in demo. (macOS)
Added
- Built-in demo: open a sample workspace with ready-to-run workflows straight from the start screen — no setup or Docker needed
- Demo workspaces are view-and-execute: run workflows and flip step modes freely while the sample files stay pristine
- Exit the demo from the status bar; removing a workspace’s last repository now closes it back to the start screen
Improved
- First launch lands directly on the start screen, which explains what to open and that workflow files are never modified
- Opening a single repository sets it up automatically — the manual initialize step is gone
- Crash-reporting consent waits until after you open something
Fixed
- Reopening a workspace whose repository list had been emptied no longer dead-ends on the setup screen
1.0.0 — 2026-07-03
Section titled “1.0.0 — 2026-07-03”First stable release. (macOS)
Added
- Mocked steps narrate their contract match, validated inputs, outputs, and declared duration in the step log
Improved
- Lifetime licenses include every update; the update window and renewal are gone
- The update control sits beside the app version in the status bar
- The wordmark matches the brand across the app
0.9.1 — 2026-07-02
Section titled “0.9.1 — 2026-07-02”(macOS)
Added
- Welcome dialog that orients first launches before setup
- Data settings: open the app’s directories, clear the cache, or reset app data
Fixed
- The system keychain is only accessed when you switch secret storage
- Cmd+Q always quits cleanly, even mid-teardown
0.9.0 — 2026-07-01
Section titled “0.9.0 — 2026-07-01”First public release. (macOS)
- Workflow workbench: open a repository and run its GitHub Actions workflows locally
- Per-step modes: skip, mock, or live-execute each step in a real runner container
