Roadmap

This file tracks planned GoSentry work that is larger than a single bug fix. Completed work is recorded in CHANGELOG.md, not here.

Open Items

Update check from GitHub releases

Releases are published as GitHub Releases (tags like v0.12.0, built by .github/workflows/release.yml), but the app never tells the user a newer version exists — they have to check the releases page by hand.

Add an update check that queries the GitHub Releases API (GET /repos/mixeme/gosentry/releases/latest) for the latest published tag, strips the leading v, and compares it against app.Version. When a newer version is available, surface it non-intrusively — an "Update available" line in Settings (next to the existing version/build info) with a hyperlink to the release page, not a modal on launch.

Design notes / open questions:

• Opt-in and offline-safe. The check makes a network request, so it must be off by default (or clearly consented) and never block startup. Failures (offline, rate-limited, API change) should be silent — no error dialogs for a best-effort convenience feature.
• Version comparison. Compare semantic versions, not strings, so 0.12.0 reads as newer than 0.9.0. A tiny semver comparator in app (or a small dependency) avoids lexical bugs.
• Where the check lives. Keep it in the app layer behind the Service so the UI only renders the result, and cache the last check so opening Settings repeatedly does not spam the API (unauthenticated GitHub allows 60 req/h).
• Repo coordinates. The primary remote is Gitea; the GitHub repo used for releases is mixeme/gosentry and must be wired in explicitly (constant or build-time value) rather than derived from origin.
• No auto-download. Scope is detection and notification only; installing the update stays a manual click-through to the release page.

Window size persistence (frozen)

Window size is currently not saved on quit or close. Saving was disabled because w.Canvas().Size() returns the maximized dimensions when the window is maximized, which would corrupt the stored size on the next launch.

Re-enabling requires a cross-platform way to detect the maximized state before saving. Fyne v2.x has no API for this; it needs per-OS native calls: IsZoomed (Windows), _NET_WM_STATE (X11/Linux), NSWindow.isZoomed (macOS). Unfreeze once that detection is in place.

Disadvantages of a platform-specific approach:

• Three separate implementations. Windows, macOS, and Linux each need their own file guarded by a build tag. Each adds CGO bindings or raw syscall wrappers that must be kept in sync as OS APIs evolve.
• Linux is not one target. X11 and Wayland have completely different window state models. _NET_WM_STATE is X11-only; under Wayland the compositor controls window decorations and there is no stable client-side API to query the maximized state. A single linux build tag cannot cover both correctly.
• Native window handle is not exposed. Fyne does not surface the underlying HWND / NSWindow / XID through its public API. Obtaining it requires either enumerating OS-level windows by PID (fragile, finds wrong windows when dialogs are open) or reaching into Fyne/GLFW internals (breaks on Fyne upgrades).
• Thread-safety constraints. Win32 and GLFW both require their calls to be made from the OS main thread. Tray-menu callbacks run on a separate goroutine, so any native call must be marshalled back to the main thread, adding synchronisation complexity.
• Test coverage gap. Maximized-state detection cannot be exercised by Fyne's headless test driver; it requires a real display and manual or screen-capture automation per platform.

History tab — column filters (Trigger / Job / State)

Add dropdown filters above the History table so the user can narrow rows by trigger source, job name, or run state. Blocked on Fyne native support: the current widget.Table has no built-in filter API, and a filter bar built from widget.Select widgets above the table feels visually out-of-place. Revisit when Fyne adds first-class column filtering or a composable data-grid widget.
