The autostart plugin wrote the AppImage path into Exec unquoted, so a path with spaces never started while the menu still showed the item checked. Linux now writes ~/.config/autostart/UsageMonitor.desktop itself, quoting and escaping the path for both desktop-entry layers, and keeps the file name so existing entries still read as enabled.
The plugin fetches latest.json and downloads the platform entry, verifying
its minisign signature. The suffix-ignoring version comparison moves to
core::version and drives the plugin comparator; a manifest without an entry
for this platform counts as up to date. The Windows portable exe swaps
itself in with self_replace, an AppImage goes through the plugin install,
and both relaunch with --updated-to. A package-manager install keeps
checking but greys the apply item.
The GitHub API lookup, the WinHTTP download and the --apply-update helper
are gone, along with the sha2 dependency they needed.
Building a webview window inside a menu or window event handler deadlocks
on Windows, so provider toggles and the Destroyed recreate now build the
bubble on a short-lived thread, serialised so only one of them creates it.
refresh_shell now takes its state snapshot inside the main-thread closure,
so a refresh queued by the poll worker cannot re-apply a tree older than
one a menu click already applied.
On Windows the start-at-login entry is written through auto-launch in
current-user mode with the quoted exe path, so an elevated run can no
longer write an all-users entry with an unquoted path that a normal run
cannot remove. Linux and macOS keep the autostart plugin.
Each enabled live provider gets a tray icon with the usage badge, a four-line tooltip and the context menu; a left click toggles the widget. Menus are rebuilt from state after every click so native check marks stay right, and a bubble right-click pops the same menu.
Alerts go through the notification plugin. On Windows the app id is registered under HKCU with a name and icon first, so a portable exe without a Start-menu shortcut can show toasts.
Start at login uses the autostart plugin under the Run value name earlier releases wrote, so an existing entry is picked up as is. On Linux the tray is skipped when no AppIndicator library loads instead of aborting.
