Barista Demo

What's New in v1.8.0 🆕

barista config TUI - Reconfigure modules, theme, and WAN privacy post-install without re-running the installer (barista config, --show, --set, --toggle)
Homebrew install - brew tap pstuart/tap && brew install barista (primary path; git clone still supported)

v1.7.0

Smart 429 Backoff - Respects Retry-After headers for precise backoff timing instead of fixed delays
Unknown Module Fix - Installer no longer errors on unrecognized module names in config
Privacy Hardening - WAN IP lookup is now opt-in and redacted by default
Security Hardening - Config injection, eval usage, token exposure, and download validation improvements

v1.6.1

Hex-Encoded Keychain Fix - Handles macOS 15+ and recent Claude Code versions that store OAuth credentials as hex-encoded data in the Keychain (community contribution by @gcko)
Progressive fallback: tries plain JSON, then hex-decoding via xxd, then regex extraction

v1.6.0

Rate Limit 429 Backoff - Automatically backs off API calls after receiving 429 responses
Version Display - Shows current Barista version in installer and statusline
Update Checker - Enhanced update checking
