v1.7.1-beta1

This release contains some small improvements for Linux users:

• Added an Appstream definition which should populate installer metadata
• Fixed version not being properly included in .deb CONTROL files which may have made installers think that newer debs were not candidates for installation.
• Added a depends clause which will enforce packages that are generally included by default in some distros but may be missing in others (such as pop_OS!)

Non-user facing:

• Consolidated Linux asset templates to avoid one or the other being outdated in future. This has no purpose currently but templates will be shared between arm64 and amd64 versions shortly.

v1.7.0

This release mostly contains maintenance fixes that have cropped up since the last release as well as a new distribution method.

I'm looking to get back to some feature work during the quieter Christmas period but first I had to fix some breakages introduced by Apple changing how code signing works.

• Removed dependency on CGO for database access which will make future maintenance much easier
• Patched a race condition that can lead to an extra closing } being added to settings files
• Added a small bit of logic that tries to repair settings files that may have been corrupted by the previously mentioned bug
• Fixed up release pipelines which were affected by Apple code signing changes

Additionally, October is now available via Homebrew going forward for macOS users.

It can be installed by running brew update to get the latest Cask definition followed by brew install --cask october.

Full Changelog: v1.6.0...v1.7.0

v1.7.0-beta14

Yet another take

v1.7.0-beta11

• Fix some race conditions that can corrupt settings file
• Try to automatically repair settings file if it has been corrupted
• Fix up release pipelines due to various changes such as how Apple does code signing etc etc

Full Changelog: v1.7.0-beta10...v1.7.0-beta11

v1.7.0-beta10

Manually generate armhf and arm64 builds

v1.6.0

This version introduces a portable version of October for Windows users who may want to sync highlights from their Kobo on a managed machine where they can't otherwise install software.

You might also like to install it on a USB so you can use October across multiple computers without having to set it up each time.

Come to think of it, I suppose you could technically copy this version to your Kobo itself (which is basically a glorified USB) and carry it around that way. That said, I haven't tested this out so your mileage may vary! I think it would work fine though.

---

Upon startup, it will create a folder next to the exe containing settings files so just make sure to keep the exe and folder together.

While I haven't tested it extensively, one existing user seemed to have no problems using it.

Throw together a portable version

v1.5.0

This release brings support for Linux systems which means that October is available for all major platforms.

To celebrate this milestone, I've given the docs site a bit of a content refresh although there are still more changes I intend to make.

There were also a few other small changes:

• Fixed pesky sizing issue that means you could scroll down slightly on most screens. The Windows settings screen specifically may still have this issue depending on your screen resolution
• Updated artifact file format naming to follow a consistent standard
• Slightly increased the default window width for October to give it a little more breathing room

Full Changelog: v1.4.0...v1.5.0

v1.5.0-beta2

• Slightly increases default window size
• Fixes overscroll on most screens

v1.5.0-beta1

This release introduces a Linux version, although only a .deb file is provided at the time of release.

It will be formally released once the documentation has been revamped.
