v1.2.1

Fix: System tray icon missing on installed machines

What was broken

1. The pkg build only copied systray2 but not its runtime dependencies (fs-extra, debug, etc.) — caused Cannot find module 'fs-extra' errors
2. The MSI installer also only packaged systray2 without its dependencies
3. The MSI had a hardcoded version instead of reading from package.json

What's fixed

• Build script copies full systray2 dependency tree (7 packages) into dist
• MSI harvests entire node_modules/ directory instead of just systray2/
• MSI version now dynamically pulled from package.json

Assets

• RedAlert-1.2.1.msi — Windows installer (no admin required, installs to %LOCALAPPDATA%\RedAlert)

RedAlert v1.2.0

What's New

Windowless Execution (Windows)

• App now runs completely in the background — no terminal window on startup or during use
• Uses a VBS launcher to start RedAlert.exe with a hidden console
• Start Menu shortcut, Windows Startup, and post-install launch all use the silent launcher

System Tray Fix (Windows)

• Fixed system tray icon not appearing in packaged .exe builds
• systray2 module now loads via absolute path, resolving the pkg virtual filesystem issue

Notes

• macOS build requires building on a Mac (npm run build:mac). Cross-compilation from Windows is not supported by pkg.
• The .exe is still included alongside the VBS for direct execution/debugging

Download

• Windows Installer: RedAlert-1.2.0.msi — double-click to install (no admin required)

RedAlert v1.1.6

New: Alert Origin Globe Visualization

Features

• Origin classifier — automatically detects the source of each alert (Hamas/Gaza, Hezbollah/Lebanon, Iran, Houthis/Yemen) using Pikud HaOref timeframe data and regional heuristics
• 3D globe overlay — interactive canvas globe appears in the bottom-left corner of the alert view showing the attack origin and animated missile arc to Israel
• Globe grow/shrink animation — globe expands to full size when an alert sounds, then shrinks back after 10 seconds
• Country borders — detailed filled country polygons with curved, sphere-wrapped borders for Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey, Yemen, and more

Details

• Timeframe data loaded from \data/\ directory (Yemen, Iran, false-alert signatures)
• Origin classification priority: false-alert → Iran timeframe → Yemen timeframe → category 13 → region heuristic → city-name heuristic
• Globe uses orthographic projection zoomed 2.8× into the Middle East region
• Origin marker pulses with the threat color; animated missile arc loops until alert clears

RedAlert v1.1.5

Fix: MSI directory structure

Previous MSI releases installed all files flat in the root directory, causing:

• No tray icon (assets/icon.ico not found)
• No systray2 binary (node_modules/ missing)
• No web UI (public/ missing)

Fixed

• MSI directory structure — assets/, public/, and node_modules/systray2/ now install in correct subdirectories
• Silent crash prevention — all file I/O deferred until after error handlers are active
• File logging — %LOCALAPPDATA%\RedAlert\redalert.log captures all startup info and errors

Included from previous releases

• 10-minute safety timer, official Pikud HaOref all-clear detection
• First-run auto-opens Chrome config page
• HLS live stream with iframe fallback
• Custom shield icon
