Relay 0.7.0

Workspaces on a server

You can now open a workspace that lives on another machine over SSH. The canvas stays on your computer, while the project folder, the terminals and the agents run on the server.

• Open on a server. Choose Open on a server in the sidebar (under Add project, or by right-clicking an empty area) or in the command palette. Enter the machine, pick the project folder, and the workspace opens like any other.
• Nothing to install by hand. Every Relay download carries the small server it needs. Relay installs it on the machine the first time you connect and keeps it updated when you update Relay.
• Sign in inside Relay. SSH passwords, passphrases and "do you trust this host?" questions are asked in a Relay window. For a new host, Relay shows the full fingerprint with Yes and No. A password you type is used only for that connection and is never saved.
• Connects in the background. Opening a server workspace no longer freezes the window while it connects. A chip at the top of the canvas shows where the workspace lives and how the connection is doing.
• Reconnects on its own. If the connection drops, Relay keeps retrying, more slowly over time, and Reconnect now tries again straight away. When it reconnects, your terminals start again and your agents resume. If the workspace changed on the server while you were away, Relay asks whether to use the server's copy or keep yours.
• Terminals start without waiting. A new terminal on a server appears at once and says it is starting on the server if the server takes a moment.
• Relay's skills travel with you. The skills that teach your agents about the canvas are copied to the server when you connect, so agents there can use relay the same way they do locally.

Fixes

• On Linux, updating from inside Relay now also updates the server and the agent skills that ship with it, not only the app.
• If Relay crashes and you have Diagnostics turned on, the crash report sent on the next launch is now readable and grouped by where the crash happened. Crashes that close Relay without warning are reported too. Nothing is sent while Diagnostics is off.
