MacBenchForge v1.2.1 - The Apple Silicon Update
Welcome to MacBenchForge v1.2.1! This release focuses on stability, accurate hardware detection, and an improved out-of-the-box experience for Apple Silicon Macs.
🚀 What's New
- Native App Bundle Fixes: Completely resolved an issue where launching the packaged
.appbundle or DMG would result in aHTTP ERROR 404. The local server now correctly resolves its internalfrontenddirectory regardless of where it is launched on your Mac. - Intelligent Ghost Process Management: Fixed bugs related to overlapping background processes that could cause port conflicts.
- Advanced VRAM Detection: The hardware UI no longer guesses your VRAM capacity. It now directly queries the macOS kernel (
sysctl iogpu.wired_limit_mb) to dynamically detect the exact Metal-wired limit of your Unified Memory. If you are a power user who has manually overridden your Mac's IOGPU memory limits via terminal, the UI will now accurately reflect your custom VRAM headroom in real-time! - Comprehensive Audit Fixes: Fixed duplicate background benchmark runs, improved SQLite database thread-safety, bound the local server to
127.0.0.1for better security, and patched UI rendering issues on radar charts.
