It's only been a week since 5.0.0 was released but here is already another release from you friendly Butler team.

It's not the biggest of updates, it's more about setting the stage for things to come.
The one thing that's new is... drum roll...

Telemetry

Wait - is that a good thing??

In this case it is.
We've given this one a lot of thought. Let's give it some context first though.

Historically, the development of Butler has largely been driven by what features were needed at some specific point in time.
That's fine, but it also means that the Butler developers have been in the dark as to

  • which Butler features are actually used
  • which features no-one uses
  • on which operating systems Butler is used etc.

On the other hand: If team Butler would know which features are used most, which OSs Butler is used on etc, they could focus future work towards those high-value features and platforms.

In other words. Adding telemetry is about making future Butler versions better for you.

100% anonymous

This one we won't compromise on.

Only anonymized data leaves your Butler instance(s).
Not even the IP of the computer sending the telemetry data is kept.
We're serious about this one - full discussion and transparency at butler.ptarmiganlabs.com.

Full list of changes available in the changelog.

Documentation available at butler.ptarmiganlabs.com, as always.
