crofty 0.11.0 — apt & dnf on Linux, and an update notice

Jun 18, 2026

On Linux, installing and updating crofty was manual, and it was easy to miss a newer release.

Before

Linux meant downloading a .deb/.rpm and installing it by hand — and updating meant doing it again.
Package managers don’t silently upgrade a tool, so it was easy to sit on an old build and miss a fix.

After

A hosted apt/dnf repo: one line to install, and apt upgrade / dnf update keeps it current with the rest of your system.
After a command, crofty prints a one-line update hint when a newer release is out. It’s quiet (once a day, interactive only), never updates itself, and is off with CROFTY_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1. crofty agent --json carries updateAvailable so your assistant sees it too.
