- Version
- 0.1.0-pilot.3
- Published
- Windows signature
- Not signed
This build carries no code-signing certificate, so Windows warns you the first time you run the installer. The download page shows you which warning to expect and how to get past it.
New
- Sign in, sign out and switch account from Control Center, with the name, email and plan of the account your licence belongs to shown beside them.
- Control Center now says when a newer build has been published, and points at the download page. It still will not install a pilot build for you — pilot builds carry no Windows signature — but it no longer stays silent about one. Before, an unsigned build never asked at all.
Fixed
- A licence on an account that was fully paid up signed the computer out by itself on the thirtieth day after activation. The date held on this computer is now re-stamped from the licence service's own answer on every check-in, and the renewal that produces that answer runs for the computer that asked for it. Before, only one computer on the account ever saw that renewal, and every other one reached its original date and stopped, however often it checked in.
- Every licence problem was reported as a lost connection. A refused sign-in, a closed account, a lease that has ended, a real network outage, and a computer that received the answer but could not save it, now each say what they are — on the tile you read and in the log support reads.
- A refused sign-in lasted until you restarted, and restarting made it look fixed until the next check-in five minutes later. One refusal from a service that had not caught up with itself cost you the whole sign-in journey for a credential that worked. The credential is now offered again every quarter of an hour, one attempt at a time, and a computer the service accepts clears itself with nothing for you to do.
- A computer that could not reach the licence service was told its access had ended and asked to renew — usually on an account that was still paid. It now says it cannot tell yet, and points at the connection.
- A computer that reached your account but never received a licence was told to sign in, next to a panel where the Sign in button had already gone. It now names the button that is actually on screen.
- Signing out did not revoke the credential on the server when a refusal was standing — the one moment the credential most needed removing. It does now.
- A proxy or a content network answering with a page of its own, instead of the service answering, was read as though the service had answered. The sign-in steps now name the outage rather than failing as something else.
