Constable: release notes

Each version, newest first.

0.1.0

The Constable joins the gamers' household: what got in your game's way.

What's new

  • While you play, it looks every 10 seconds at what else uses the processor, the graphics card and the disk, and stays out of the way itself: a look costs a few milliseconds.
  • After each session: what else ran beside the game (another launcher updating a game, OneDrive syncing, a virus scan, Windows Update, a browser, Castellan's own AI), how much, and when.
  • When the game had to share the PC, and with what.
  • Plain advice for the programs it knows, and one fix you can tick: pause OneDrive while you play, started again when the game ends.
  • Don't mention it, for the programs you run beside your games on purpose.

Before you update

  • Nothing: it starts watching as soon as you hire it.

Installing

  • Castellan installs and updates it by itself. To install it by hand, unpack the zip anywhere and run node src\cli.ts install (Node 22.18 or later). SHA256SUMS.txt lists its SHA-256 (PowerShell: Get-FileHash).
