[1.4.3] - 2026-03-17
Added
- Auto-updater now logs all activity to the watcher log file (
[updater] prefix) — silent failures are now visible.
- Configurable update source:
UPDATE_SOURCE = gitea (default), url, or disabled. In url mode the watcher fetches version.txt and the .exe from a custom base URL (e.g. terra-view) instead of the Gitea API — enables updates on isolated networks that cannot reach Gitea. disabled turns off automatic checks while keeping the remote push path (from terra-view) functional.
- New Updates tab in the Settings dialog to configure
UPDATE_SOURCE and UPDATE_URL.
Fixed
- Downloaded
.exe is now validated before applying: absolute size floor (100 KB), relative size floor (50% of current exe), and MZ magic bytes check. A corrupt or truncated download is now rejected and logged rather than silently overwriting the live exe.
- Swap
.bat now backs up the current exe as <exe>.old before overwriting, providing a manual rollback copy if needed.
- Swap
.bat retry loop is now capped at 5 attempts — was previously infinite if the file remained locked.
- Swap
.bat now cleans up the temp download file on both success and failure.

Changed
- Tray icon color now reflects watcher + API health rather than unit ages — green=API OK, amber=API disabled, red=API failing, purple=watcher error.
- Status menu text updated to show
Running — API OK | N unit(s) | scan Xm ago.
- Units submenu removed from tray — status tracking for individual units is handled by terra-view, not the watcher.
- Unit list still logged to console and log file for debugging, but no OK/Pending/Missing judgement applied.
watcher_status field added to heartbeat payload so terra-view receives accurate watcher health data.
Install
- To install on a new machine, please use the installer.exe (from 1.4.1, it will then automatically update to 1.4.2 after detecting the new release)
- If already running 1.4.1, it SHOULD auto update. (its still tbd if that actually works tho....)

Existing Install update
- Should update automatically? (havent tested it yet tho)
[1.4.1] - 2026-03-17
Fixed
config.ini now saves to AppData\Local\Series3Watcher\ instead of Program Files — fixes permission denied error on first-run wizard save.- Config path resolution in both
series3_tray.py and series3_watcher.py updated to use sys.frozen + LOCALAPPDATA when running as a PyInstaller .exe.
- Status menu item now uses a callable so it updates every time the menu opens — was showing stale "Starting..." while tooltip correctly showed current status.
- Settings dialog now opens in its own thread — fixes unresponsive tabs and text fields while the watcher loop is running.
- Tray icon reverted to plain colored dot — custom icon graphic was unreadable at 16px tray size.
.ico file is still used for the .exe file icon.
Changed
- Terra-View URL field in settings wizard now accepts base URL only (e.g.
http://192.168.x.x:8000) — /api/series3/heartbeat endpoint appended automatically.
- Test Connection button now hits
/health endpoint instead of posting a fake heartbeat — no database side effects.
- "terra-view URL" label capitalized to "Terra-View URL".
- Default log path updated to
AppData\Local\Series3Watcher\agent_logs\series3_watcher.log.
- Installer now creates
agent_logs\ folder on install.
BUILDING.md added — step-by-step guide for building, releasing, and updating.
[1.4.0] - 2026-03-12
Added
series3_tray.py — system tray launcher using pystray + Pillow. Color-coded icon (green=OK, amber=Pending, red=Missing, purple=Error, grey=Starting). Right-click menu shows live status, unit count, last scan age, Open Log Folder, and Exit.run_watcher(state, stop_event) in series3_watcher.py for background thread use by the tray. Shared state dict updated on every scan cycle with status, unit list, last scan time, and last error.- Interruptible sleep in watcher loop — tray exit is immediate, no waiting out the full scan interval.
Changed
main() now calls run_watcher() — standalone behavior unchanged.requirements.txt updated to document tray dependencies (pystray, Pillow); watcher itself remains stdlib-only.
