HisarBlok 0.2.0 closes two gaps the first release left open: setting the system up, and getting it back when something goes wrong. A new dashboard and two themes come with it. Every item below is from the changelog.
A setup wizard
A fresh copy now opens a guided installer instead of the sign-in page: server checks, panel language, the first administrator, the first site and optional mail. The wizard is locked behind a one-time code written to the server; it checks with a real HTTP request that data/ is not reachable from the web and refuses to start if it is. Once installation finishes, every one of its addresses is gone. tools/install.php does the same from the command line.
Backup and restore in core
tools/backup.php writes everything into one .tar.gz: a copy of the database taken while the site runs, the configuration, data files and media, all with a SHA-256 manifest. The newest 14 are kept. tools/restore.php runs from the command line only; it checks every checksum, refuses newer schemas and backs up the current state before it starts. The panel gains System → Backups.
Dashboard and paging
The dashboard now shows real numbers per module, what needs you, the last full rebuild, a first-steps checklist and a site-health card. Long admin lists page by key instead of OFFSET, so they do not slow down as they grow. The audit log gains action and user filters.
Themes
The default theme was redesigned: a type scale, a CSS-only mobile menu, dark mode, a print view, reduced motion and visible focus. A new theme for software product sites, Studio, was added; the site you are reading runs on it. Themes can now extend one another with "extends" in theme.json.
Fixes
One fix is worth saying plainly: the form block could never appear on a page, because its template was looked up in the wrong module, and forms.css was never linked. Both are fixed. Several delete confirmations that the Content Security Policy silently skipped now use the panel's own dialog, and tools/set-password.php really changes the account in the database.
Status
HisarBlok is still in development. The source code and a download package are coming soon; how installation works is on the installation page, and everything it does is on the features page.
