OpenStation 1.1.6

OpenStation 1.1.5

- Register –wp-admin-theme-color so chromeless documents never compute it to transparent
- Sync active Post/Page tab when navigating to Add Post from the Dock
- Attribute columns save to active window id
- Hotfix: a dock flyout holds a rail out, it never summons a parked one
- Revisions: open the revision browser in its own window
- Two low-contrast fixes in native windows: the shell document leaves quirks mode, and a neutral crumb stops pinning its paint inline
- Window channels: one set of books, so a window can leave its loading overlay
- Command palette: a harvested command that throws says so, instead of nothing at all
- Widgets: declare the card’s token contract, so a widget’s muted text stops landing at 3.81:1
- In-window navigation: ask before painting, so a cancelled “Leave site?” stops stranding the window
OpenStation 1.1.4

- Native-window script data ships once per handle, not once per window (boot document −8.9%)

- The site folder is now WP Explorer, and OS Settings is now OpenStation Preferences.
- A new palette and typography, with four wallpapers: Galaxy (the new default), Space, Holomesh and Pulsemesh.
- Desktop Mode (Legacy) — a built-in desktop theme that puts the previous look back in one click, WordPress blue included.

- Holographic controls, a new Switch component, and a searchable Components tab in OpenStation Preferences.
