Updates & Changelog

This page lists the features and improvements in each Aurono release.

v0.1.6-beta — Licensing & Self-contained Install (May 2026)

License card in Settings — three states (Active / Not activated / Rejected), single-line AUR1.… token paste, mailto helper for requesting a license
Shadow mode is the trial — every feature works without a license except live trading. No time limit, no degraded mode, no nag screens.
Post-activation “Ready to go live?” nudge — after activation, a panel sits below the claim details with a one-click switch to live and a “Stay in shadow” path that keeps the panel available indefinitely
Operating mode badge reflects effective mode — when the database says “live” but the license has gone invalid for any reason, the badge correctly shows “shadow (license required)” so users never see a misleading green pill
Defence in depth — the scheduler independently re-validates the license at every evaluation cycle, downgrading to shadow if the file goes missing or fails verification
Offline activation — Ed25519 signature verification happens entirely on your device. Aurono never contacts our servers to re-verify after activation.

Bundled Python runtime — every release tarball now ships its own Python 3.13, eliminating the dependency on Homebrew (Mac) or apt install python3-venv (Pi). The macOS Tahoe libexpat regression that broke Homebrew Python in May 2026 no longer affects new installs.
Per-platform tarballs — aurono-start-{version}-darwin-arm64.tar.gz (~24 MB) for Apple Silicon Macs and aurono-start-{version}-linux-aarch64.tar.gz (~29 MB) for Pi 4 / Pi 5. SHA-256 verified.
Rollback safety — if the install fails mid-way, data, config, and keys are preserved; only the partial venv and frontend node_modules are removed. Re-run the installer to retry.

Orphaned exchange credentials surface as a user-actionable “Re-enter keys” warning instead of HTTP 500 errors. Happens when the device encryption key was rotated after the credentials were saved.
Update check renders platform-correct install commands using the actual tarball filenames
Beta tester install paths now disambiguate the per-platform tarball directory names

Limit orders only with maker-fee pricing at the trigger threshold
ACB protection — strategies never sell below their average cost base
Capital reservation prevents over-spending across concurrent evaluations
Mid-cycle order resolution at :27 past each hour for low-liquidity coins
Strategy Lab — Explore / Simulate / Rebalance tabs, sigma-based triggers, capital safety check, benchmark comparison (DCA, buy & hold)
Activity — trade story view, narrative-style trade journal with per-trade P&L and human-readable subtitles
Email reports — daily and/or weekly with portfolio value, per-strategy P&L, executed trades, missed opportunities

The first release of Aurono Start, built for beta testing on Raspberry Pi.

Portfolio overview — total value, cash/crypto split, interactive chart with time range selector

Strategy cards — name, symbol, timeframe, exchange, P&L sparkline, status sentence
Monthly P&L — summary bar with trades count and best trade
Recent activity — last 5 events in plain language
Milestones — first round trip, round-trip counts (10/25/50/100), all-time high

Explore — browse assets with price charts, moving averages, RSI, and macro regime classification across all timeframes
Simulate — test strategy parameters against historical data with sigma-based triggers, capital safety check, and benchmark comparison (DCA, buy & hold)
Rebalance — see which strategies need capital and which have excess, transfer capital between strategies on the same exchange with live buy impact preview

Trades tab (default) — trading journal with per-trade P&L and human-readable subtitles explaining why each trade happened
Timeline — chronological feed in plain language, with watch event collapsing and milestone highlights
Detailed log — raw event table for debugging

Limit orders only — placed at the trigger threshold price for predictable execution
ACB protection — never sells below average cost base

Raspberry Pi deployment — install.sh with systemd service, auto-restart
Mac mini deployment — install-mac.sh with LaunchAgent (added in v0.1.5-beta, replacing the earlier Docker option)
Local-only — no cloud, no accounts, no data leaves your network
Encrypted credentials — API keys stored locally with Fernet encryption
Startup diagnostics — version banner, DB integrity check, strategy/exchange count
Hash-verified dependencies — pip install with SHA256 hashes, npm strict install

Aurono Start is the foundation. Upcoming areas include:

Strategy evaluation deepdive — simulated vs actual performance per version, benchmark comparison, market regime context
Strategy personality — human-readable behavior profile per strategy
Scenario explorer — “what does my strategy do when the market does X?”
Exchange trade history import — full historical P&L from exchange data
WiFi setup — user-friendly network configuration (currently Ethernet only)

For the bigger picture, Aurono Start is the first step toward Aurono Portfolio, Aurono Store, and beyond.
