Dillo Backup Change Log

Focus: Hardware automation and data safety

• Auto-Wake (Plug & Play): the app now automatically detects when your backup drive is plugged in and triggers assigned jobs instantly.
• Time Capsule (Versioning): added support for file versioning. Keeps a history of modified files in a mirrored folder structure so you can “go back in time.”
• Sequential Backup Queue: added intelligent drive management. If multiple jobs point to the same drive, they now run one‑by‑one to prevent hardware wear and disk thrashing.
• Native Notifications: implemented OS‑level “Toast” notifications to confirm backup starts, successes, and errors while the app is hidden.

Focus: Rebranding and commercial transition

• Brand Pivot: officially rebranded from “Dillo” to Dillo Backup to avoid naming conflicts and improve clarity.
• Premium Model: transitioned from open source / donation‑ware to a one‑time payment commercial model.
• Simplified Licensing: replaced the MIT license with a simple, proprietary End User License Agreement (EULA).
• Stripe Integration: secure checkout now handled via Stripe for lifetime license keys.

Focus: System tray and autostart improvements

• Minimized to Tray: added full system tray integration for Windows and macOS.
• Silent Autostart: implemented the --hidden flag to allow the app to start in the background on boot without popping up a browser window.
• Tray Controls: added “Open Dashboard” and “Quit” context menu options directly from the taskbar / dock.

Focus: Local-first backup baseline

• First public release of the local-first backup engine for Windows and macOS.
• Incremental backups, scheduling, and SHA-256 verification.
• Privacy-focused, offline-by-default architecture with no cloud dependencies.
