1.2
Tart Manager v1.2.0 adds in-app updates, so this is the last version you install by hand. It also adds a compact About tab in Settings and a Jobs section in the sidebar.
Install this version by hand one time. Tart Manager 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 cannot update themselves. Download the DMG below, and drag Tart Manager to Applications. After that, new versions install from inside the app.
Added
- In-app updates. Tart Manager checks for a new version once a day. When one is available, an Update Available button shows next to the title, and the menu-bar menu shows Update available…. No window opens by itself. Click the button to read the release notes, then choose Install Update, Skip This Version, or Remind Me Later.
- Safe install. Tart Manager verifies the signature of each update before it installs it, and refuses a changed download. If jobs run, the relaunch waits until they finish, and the button shows how many jobs it waits for. Your VMs continue to run during the relaunch.
- No more Gatekeeper warnings for updates. Updates that install from inside the app open with no "unidentified developer" warning.
- About tab in Settings. It shows the version, the update status, a Check for Updates button, and links to GitHub and the documentation.
- Update setting. To turn off the daily check, open Settings → General and turn off Check for updates automatically.
- Jobs section in the sidebar. See the progress of clone, import, export, create, and cache-cleanup jobs, and cancel a job that you no longer need. A failed job stays in the list with a link to its error details.
Changed
- Tart Manager → About Tart Manager now opens Settings on the About tab.
- The build number (
CFBundleVersion) now matches the release version.
Removed
- Removed the long About window. The README now describes how to run, stop, and suspend VMs, replace a disk, read memory warnings, and prune caches.
Privacy
The update check sends no system profile. GitHub, which hosts the update feed, receives your IP address and the app's user agent.
After an update, macOS can ask again for access to files and folders.
Note: this release is not Developer-ID signed or notarized. On first launch, macOS blocks it. On macOS 15 or later, open System Settings → Privacy & Security, click Open Anyway, and confirm. On macOS 14, Control-click the app, choose Open, then confirm.
