Tart Manager v1.3.0 includes tart, so you no longer need Homebrew or a separate tart. A new Tart panel in Settings lets you choose the tart that Tart Manager uses. This release also fixes the Dock icon in menu-bar-only mode.

Update from inside the app. Tart Manager 1.2.0 offers this update by itself. To check now, open Settings → About and click Check for Updates. Tart Manager 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 cannot update themselves: download the DMG below, and drag Tart Manager to Applications one time.

Added

  • Bundled tart. Tart Manager now includes tart 2.41.1, so you do not need Homebrew or a separate tart. The bundled tart is the default for new users, and it updates with Tart Manager.
  • Tart panel in Settings. Open Settings → General → Tart to choose Bundled or Path. Path uses the tart installed on this Mac. Click Choose… to select another tart file. Active tart shows the version, source, and path in use.
  • One-time question. When both the bundled and your installed tart work, Tart Manager asks once which one to use. Until you answer, it keeps your installed tart. It also warns you when the selected tart is older than the other one, because VMs that a newer tart changed can fail to open with an older tart.
  • Switch from the banner. When the selected tart is missing, damaged, or too old, the banner in the main window now offers Use bundled tart or Use installed tart if the other tart works. Tart Manager never switches by itself.
  • Tart details in error reports. Copied error reports and Settings → About show the version, source, and path of the active tart.
  • Acknowledgements. Settings → About has an Acknowledgements panel with the tart license (View License) and a link to tart on GitHub.

Removed

  • Removed the Detected tart row from Settings → Storage. Settings → General → Tart shows it now.

Fixed

  • Dock icon in menu-bar-only mode. After you close the main window, a click on the Dock icon opens the window again. Before, Tart Manager became active but showed no window (#5).
  • Dock icon with two windows. The Dock icon now stays when you close one of two main windows.

License

The bundled tart is licensed under FSL-1.1-ALv2, not under the MIT License of Tart Manager. To read the license, open Settings → About and click View License.
