v0.0.2

Released: 2026-10-27

What's new

• Updates in the app. At launch the app checks for a newer release and offers to install it; relaunch to finish. Every update is signed, and the app installs only updates signed with the release key. The relaunch waits while a pipeline is running or being set up.
• No setup needed to run the pipeline. At launch the app installs or upgrades the perception pipeline from PyPI with its bundled uv, so you no longer need to clone hyperstudy-perception or install Python. The run dialog shows the setup's progress, and why it failed if it did.
• Navigation. A rail on the left takes you to Extract, Annotator, Settings and Docs.
• Quitting stops the pipeline. Quitting the app, from the menu, the Dock or a terminal signal, now cancels a run in progress the same way Cancel does and stops everything it started. Before, a quit during a run or setup could leave pipeline processes running in the background.
• Open source. The app is released under the MIT licence.

What's Changed

• App navigation: a rail with Extract, Annotator, Settings and Docs by @ljchang in https://github.com/hyperstudyio/hyperstudy-annotator/pull/19
• Before going public: an MIT licence, and no local path in the tests by @ljchang in https://github.com/hyperstudyio/hyperstudy-annotator/pull/20
• Update the app in place: checked at launch, installed when asked, signed releases by @ljchang in https://github.com/hyperstudyio/hyperstudy-annotator/pull/22
• CI: keep apt's packages between runs by @ljchang in https://github.com/hyperstudyio/hyperstudy-annotator/pull/23
• Updater: the release key's public half by @ljchang in https://github.com/hyperstudyio/hyperstudy-annotator/pull/24
• Install the pipeline from PyPI with the bundled uv; nothing needed on the machine by @ljchang in https://github.com/hyperstudyio/hyperstudy-annotator/pull/25
• Review follow-up: a run and a setup decided under one lock order by @ljchang in https://github.com/hyperstudyio/hyperstudy-annotator/pull/26
• Updates: the relaunch also waits while the pipeline is being set up by @ljchang in https://github.com/hyperstudyio/hyperstudy-annotator/pull/27
• Version 0.0.2 by @ljchang in https://github.com/hyperstudyio/hyperstudy-annotator/pull/28
• Setup status: a version on disk is known as installed from the start by @ljchang in https://github.com/hyperstudyio/hyperstudy-annotator/pull/29
• Updater: the new release key, and the key tried before the build by @ljchang in https://github.com/hyperstudyio/hyperstudy-annotator/pull/30
• Release: the updater key may have no passphrase by @ljchang in https://github.com/hyperstudyio/hyperstudy-annotator/pull/31
• Quitting the app stops the pipeline: a run canceled as Cancel does, nothing left running by @ljchang in https://github.com/hyperstudyio/hyperstudy-annotator/pull/32
