v0.5.6 made the engine update properly — and that immediately revealed that
the certificate fix inside it had never worked.Python's
urllibdoes not report a certificate failure as a certificate
failure: it catches it and re-raises a generic network error with the real
cause tucked inside. The fallback was written to catch the first kind, so it
matched nothing and never ran. It is now written to catch what urllib actually
raises.The unit test passed the whole time, because the stub it used raised the error
in the form that seemed obvious rather than the form Python really produces. So
this release also adds a real test: it puts Python into the exact state a
Mac is in with no certificate list, over the real network, and downloads a real
model through the fallback. Putting the old code back makes it fail; the new
code makes it pass.What this means on a Mac
Model downloads work on a python.org Python, which ships with no list of
trusted certificate authorities unless you find and double-click
Install Certificates.command. Behavision carries its own list and falls back
to it — while still preferring the machine's own where there is one, so a shop
behind a corporate proxy is unaffected. A genuine network failure is still
reported as a network failure, not retried as a certificate problem.Everything since v0.5.4, and all of it now installs
- The engine updates again. Every release built the engine package under
the same version, sopip install --upgradedid nothing on a computer that
had run setup once — while the app and agent beside it updated normally. Each
release now stamps its own version, setup forces the engine to be replaced,
and/api/healthreports the engine version so a stale one is visible. - Setup works with Python 3.14, and refuses a too-new one in a single line
instead of trying to compile numpy from source. - A half-built environment from a failed run is rebuilt.
- Signing in on a second computer no longer knocks a shop offline — every
installation now has its own name on the message broker. - "Run setup" instead of a 200-character file path, and it detects macOS
running the app from a temporary read-only copy.
Installing
- Unzip.
- Move Behavision to your Applications folder and open it from there.
- Run
behavision-setupand wait — the first run downloads about 300 MB of
recognition models. - Open Behavision.
Upgrading over an earlier install is the same steps.
On a computer that will not watch cameras — a laptop, an office machine — skip
setup entirely and just sign in. You get Live and Cameras across all your
shops, including Watch live on any camera.Downloads
