v1.4.0

Version 1.4.0

• Added activity event recording for service state changes (started, stopped, failed, restarted).
• Added activity event recording for user actions (start, stop, restart, reload, enable, disable, check).
• Activity history displays in the "Recent Activity" panel with human-readable timestamps.
• Activity history persists to ~/.config/runkit/activity.json with last 10 events per service.
• Automatically detects service state changes between app sessions (tracks what happened while the app was closed).
• Service states are saved on app close and compared on startup to detect offline changes.
• Activity events include PID information for running/failed services.
• Added restart detection when service PID changes while running.
• Added ActivityEvent and ActivityEventType types to runkit-core.
• Added chrono dependency for timestamp handling in runkit-core and runkit.
• Added waypoint-scheduler service description (see Waypoint GTK).

v1.3.11

Version 1.3.11

• Added ability to filter between enabled and all services.
• Added the new workspace member services-merge so the installer can use a Rust helper without additional dependencies.
• Implemented helper to load the services.json template and existing cache, overlay template entries, and persist the merged map with directory creation handled automatically.
• Wired the installer to detect the template, resolve the target user’s home, and invoke the helper so ~/.config/runkit/services.json is always updated with template-preferred values.
• Perform package queries to get service descriptions only if the services.json file has no descriptions, then add them if missing.
• Reworked the header to use dedicated start/end boxes with both window-control variants, letting us move other widgets around the active button placement.
• Added a layout watcher that inspects gtk-decoration-layout, reparenting the logo to the opposite side of the buttons on startup and whenever the setting changes at runtime.
• Kept the hamburger menu anchored on the right while giving the logo symmetrical margins so spacing stays consistent whichever side it lands on.
• Set "Refresh services automatically" to on by default.
• Replaced the pkexec CLI with a long-lived D-Bus service that reuses the existing helper logic, gates privileged calls through polkit (switching between tech.geektoshi.Runkit.require_password and keeps JSON responses for the UI.
• Added a blocking D-Bus proxy instead of spawning runkitd to store a new require_password preference (toggled in Preferences).
• Minor bugfixes.
• Added CHANGELOG.md.
• Updated version number.
