What's new in Kiosk Satellite 2026.8.17
A small release with one fix: updates now install the newest release, not the one the notice was raised for.
Improvements: updates always install the latest release
- Pressing Install now asks GitHub for the latest release first, so what lands on the device is the newest version at that moment rather than the one the update notice named when it appeared (#162). The check runs twice a day and the notice then waits until someone acts on it, so a version published in between used to install the older build and leave a second update queued right behind it, which meant updating twice in a row.
- This applies wherever the update is started: the kiosk menu, the Remote Administration UI and Home Assistant's Updates page. The version being installed is what the drawer, the Remote Administration UI and the update entity's latest version all show while the download runs.
- If GitHub cannot be reached at that moment, the release the device already knew about installs exactly as before, so an update never fails because of the extra check. In the rare case where the offered release is gone and the device is already on the latest, nothing downloads and the notice clears itself instead of chasing a version that no longer exists.
