OpenBoot v0.28.0

What's New

• Snapshot health tracking — Captures which steps failed during openboot snapshot, marks the result as partial, and warns you before saving or uploading an incomplete snapshot
• Clean command results — openboot clean now shows exactly which packages were removed and which failed, instead of a generic success message

Bug Fixes

• Silent install failures — Packages that failed to install were incorrectly marked as installed in state. Only packages that actually succeed are now recorded
• Repeated snapshot restore corrupted .zshrc — Running openboot snapshot --import multiple times kept growing .zshrc with duplicate theme/plugin lines. Now idempotent via a guarded block
• Clean command showed success on failure — openboot clean printed "Clean complete!" even when packages failed to uninstall. Now returns an error and exits non-zero
• Formula/cask name collision in retry filter — A formula and cask sharing the same name could cause a failed install to be silently dropped from the failure report
• Stale .zshrc backup left on disk — If removing the backup after a successful dotfiles stow failed, the .zshrc.openboot.bak file was silently left behind. Now emits a warning

OpenBoot v0.27.0

What's New

• Config visibility control — When uploading snapshots, you can now choose who can see your config: Public (anyone can discover), Unlisted (link only), or Private (only you)

Improvements

• Smarter browser behavior — Only public configs auto-open in browser, avoiding 500 errors on unlisted/private configs
• Visibility-aware messages — Success messages now adapt based on your chosen visibility level

OpenBoot v0.26.0

Improvements

• Snapshot summary screen — After editing a snapshot, you now see a comprehensive summary (package counts, matched preset, shell/git/dev tools info) before choosing to upload or save locally (openboot snapshot)
• Better save confirmation — Local snapshot saves display detailed information and the restore command instead of just a file path

Bug Fixes

• Progress indicator — Fixed snapshot capture showing 7/7 steps when it actually has 8 steps

curl -fsSL https://openboot.dev/install | bash

OpenBoot v0.24.0

What's New

• Clean command — Remove packages not in your config or snapshot (openboot clean --from snapshot or --user <email>)
• Full snapshot restore — Importing a snapshot now restores git identity (name & email), Oh-My-Zsh theme, and plugins

Improvements

• Independent git restore — Git name and email are now restored independently during snapshot import, fixing cases where only one was already configured
