Ding 0.15.0

Ding now runs persistent local watches, with a browser Console, background startup, native notifications and an MCP adapter built into the same installation.

brew install ding-labs/tap/ding
ding setup

Accept background startup, choose Create your first watch, enter your health endpoint, and test a notification. No Ding account, language runtime, model key or source checkout is needed. The machine must stay awake and connected.

What is included

  • HTTP, local command and JSON push sources; comparisons, numeric windows, consecutive failures and recoveries, changed values, missing data and new events.
  • SQLite persistence, retained event evidence, durable delivery retries, offline replay, verified backups and private credential references.
  • Console onboarding, watch management, event and delivery inspection, manifest editing and live status. ding ui reopens it.
  • User background services, lifecycle commands and clear local status.
  • Desktop alerts, Slack, Discord and webhooks. macOS includes the native notification and Keychain helper alongside the executable.
  • The official Go MCP SDK adapter: ding mcp setup pairs a local model client using explicit, revocable grants. Claude Desktop and Claude Code can connect through stdio; ChatGPT still needs a supported remote connection.

Distribution and boundaries

This release ships Homebrew archives for macOS 13+ and Linux, on ARM64 and x86-64. Archives are built and tested on their native operating system and architecture; the tap pins their SHA-256 hashes. Mac helpers are ad-hoc signed. This Homebrew release is not an Apple-notarized .pkg or a Windows installer; those distribution routes remain under qualification. No Gatekeeper override is required by the Homebrew instructions. OS notification permission and visibility must be checked on your own desktop.

Homebrew owns updates: stop Ding, run brew update && brew upgrade ding-labs/tap/ding, then run ding setup again. Signed standalone automatic-update channels are not published by this release. Uninstalling the service retains your watch data.

This replaces the old job-wrapper CLI. Existing legacy configurations are not automatically activated; use ding migrate to review a conversion if needed. The new watch runtime stores schema 5; do not open its state with an older binary.

Cloud hosting and marketplace packages are included in the source tree for operators and integration development. There is no public Ding Cloud service or approved marketplace listing in this release. Local monitoring is complete without an account or a model client.
