0.1.14: the update button actually updates

2026-08-27 · 3 min · Vibisual

Pressing Update closed the app and brought it back on the same version. Three fixes, all about the moments around shutdown.

The installer was launched before the app had finished shutting down. It replaces the installed files by renaming them one at a time, and that fails outright while Vibisual.exe is still running — after five one-second retries it gave up and installed nothing. From your side the app simply closed and came back on the old version. The installer is now launched at the very last moment, once cleanup is done and the process is about to disappear.

Shutdown itself was the other half of the problem. It waited for every open network connection to finish on its own, so a phone still connected over LAN access, or an idle keep-alive socket, could hold the app open for over a minute — 68 seconds, measured. Sockets are now cut once we have decided to close, and cleanup has a hard four-second ceiling after which the app exits regardless. Everything written to disk is flushed before that point.

The update button no longer asks twice, either. It already warns you and asks for confirmation; the ordinary close-confirmation was then asking again about the same thing — and the time spent answering it was enough for the installer to give up.
