- A daemon keeps running the copy it was started from, so after an update the old one ran until the next login and nothing said so; clients compared only the major protocol version. Every build now carries a UUID, the daemon reports it as ServerInfo.build_id under protocol 1.3, and a daemon too old to report one counts as outdated.
- The window shows a notice above every page when the daemon it reached is another build, with both versions. Update now registers the copy that was opened as the service and restarts the daemon from it; Not now puts the notice away. Nothing is restarted unless the user asks, so two copies open at once cannot replace each other's daemon in turn. A newer daemon is offered as Use this version, and one the service did not start, or one reached with --socket, gets no button.
- service install --start now stops a running daemon before registering and starting, so the daemon started is the program that was asked. Under systemd and Task Scheduler it used to rewrite the registration and leave the old daemon running, since starting a running service does nothing.
- service status says when the daemon is another build than the program asked, and --json carries same_build.
- The App Store app stops a daemon another build of the app left running and starts its own, instead of attaching to it.
- Packaging sets MIDI_HARBOR_BUILD_ID once for everything a run builds, because the App Store app, its helper and each architecture are compiled separately and must agree. Packages of one release share an identifier, so neither replaces the other's daemon.
- The interface moves from 87ab8179 to libcosmic master of 2026-09-24, which brings its newer winit and accesskit forks and upstream's menu, context-menu and maximized-window fixes.
- The accesskit_winit build failure newer libcosmic has on Windows does not reach this build: macOS and Windows disable libcosmic's default features, a11y with them, so no accesskit crate compiles there. Enabling a11y on Windows would need a patched accesskit, as the pin's comment notes.
- The lock keeps gpu-allocator on windows 0.62.2, the version wgpu-hal 28.0.1 passes it; the update had re-resolved it to an older windows, breaking the Windows build with mismatched Direct3D types, and a later cargo update can do so again.
- The window never had a title, so taskbars and window lists showed it as untitled on every Linux desktop; it is now titled "Midi Harbor". The header draws its own title, which is why it went unnoticed.
- On X11 the window's class comes from argv[0], because the pinned libcosmic replaces its X11 window attributes with its Wayland ones. The desktop entry's StartupWMClass is now midi-harbor, the class a package install gets, so X11 taskbars match the window to its entry and icon; Wayland still pairs by the application ID.
