# MAO 0.11.5

Released 2026-10-17.

## Changes

- **Crash reports reach the right person.** With crash reports turned on, a report is now linked to your MAO account, so when you write to us about a crash we can find it. The app sends your account id, never your email.
- **Failed updates are reported.** With crash reports turned on, MAO tells us when an update fails to download, to verify or to install, including a Windows installer that was cancelled or stopped after it started.
- **A health check at your first sign-in.** When you first sign in, MAO sends two numbers: how many times it crashed and how many times it quit unexpectedly before that sign-in. It sends them even when crash reports are off, because a crash before sign-in is exactly the problem we could not see. Only the two counts go, never a message, a file or anything you typed.
- **Each download carries an anonymous download number.** It is sent once, at sign-in, so we can tell whether a download became a working install. It says nothing about you.
- **The Linux install script reports how the install went.** It says whether the install finished, or at which step it stopped. Set `MAO_NO_INSTALL_REPORT=1` before running it to turn this off.
- **Genuine builds can be recognised.** Every release now records the identity of each build, and the update check sends the identity of the copy you are running, so a modified copy can be told apart from ours. An update is never refused because of it.
