Castellan: release notes
Each version, newest first.
0.16.6
Castellan now comes from castellan-software.com, and the setup signs you in, so your first staff are hired as it installs.
What's new
- Get Castellan from castellan-software.com. Sign in there with your email: a new email starts the 7-day trial, with no card. Your account page downloads the setup.
- The setup asks you to sign in after the licence terms. Enter the same email and the six-digit code it sends, or a licence key. You can now choose any of the staff your licence covers as your first staff, not only the ones the setup carries. They're downloaded and hired as Castellan installs.
- From the command line, the setup takes
--key=<key>or--install-token=<token>(from your account page) to sign in without asking.
What changed
- The trial now needs an email. In Settings > Licence, sign in with your email: an email with no licence yet starts the 7-day trial. A role card's Start the trial takes you there. The trial is once per email and once per PC.
- Castellan now updates itself from Castellan's own release service, as its staff do. So do the staff held back from sale. Heiward is the only part still published on GitHub.
Before you update
- Nothing: it updates itself as usual. This is the last Castellan published on GitHub too, so that older installs can update to it. Later versions come from castellan-software.com only.
Installing
- To install Castellan, which keeps your manor, sign in at castellan-software.com (a new email starts the 7-day trial, no card) and download the setup from your account page: Arm64 for an Arm PC (such as Snapdragon), x64 for Intel or AMD. It needs no administrator rights and brings its own Node; it signs this PC in with the same email, then hires your first staff. Remove it from Settings > Apps > Castellan.
- The setup isn't code-signed yet: on its first run Windows says "Windows protected your PC". Click More info, then Run anyway.
- A Castellan that's installed updates itself.
