New

  • Crash report uploads. When something goes wrong, Orbit can now securely send an anonymized crash report so issues can be diagnosed faster and fixes can reach you sooner.

Improved

  • More reliable error handling behind the scenes. Orbit now handles failures more gracefully, reducing the chance that a small hiccup escalates into a broken workflow.
  • Stronger privacy protections in error reporting. Sensitive information is scrubbed from analytics error events, so diagnostics are more privacy-conscious by default.

Fixed

  • Time picker performance. The time picker is now much more responsive, especially when adjusting values repeatedly.
  • Update issues. Fixed an error that could block or disrupt updating, making updates more dependable.

New

  • Recording crash alerts: Orbit now notifies you if the recording process crashes, so you can quickly restart and avoid losing time (or missing a recording without noticing).

Improved

  • Update flow: Updates are smoother and more reliable, with clearer behavior during the install/restart process.
  • Changelog visibility: The changelog now focuses on meaningful releases (major and minor), so you’re not interrupted by noise on smaller patches.
