Rookery
Rookery 1.0.0 is available to download — the first stable, notarized release of the macOS menu-bar host for a Gitea act_runner.
What’s new
Added
- Runner Status window (menu: Runner Status…, ⌘S) — a dashboard with a row per hosted runner showing its status, act_runner version, uptime, and current job (
owner/repo+workflow/job), with a Start/Stop toggle. One runner today; multiple runners will add rows. - Runner update check — the Runner Status window flags when a newer gitea-runner release is available (checks the gitea/runner releases), else shows “up to date”.
Changed
- Bundled runner updated to gitea-runner v2.2.0 (from act_runner 0.6.1) — a much newer runner with current Gitea Actions support, verified compatible with Rookery’s existing registration and status parsing.
- First run no longer pre-fills a Gitea URL — enter your instance in Settings → Register (the field shows the expected format).
