First release with a tracked CHANGELOG. Previous version on crates.io was 0.1.1, but no git tag was cut for it; this release captures everything landed on main between then and now.

Changed

  • macOS platform layer is now built on objc2. Migrated the entire mac platform layer from the deprecated cocoa 0.26 and objc 0.2 crates onto objc2 0.6, objc2-app-kit, objc2-foundation, and block2. cocoa and objc are no longer dependencies of kael. The migration adopts define_class! with MainThreadOnly markers and Retained-typed ivars for the application/notification delegates, replaces ConcreteBlock with block2::RcBlock, and reframes every NS* enum to the modern variant names (NSEventType::KeyDown, NSWindowStyleMask::Closable, etc.).
  • Stricter runtime type checking via objc2 caught three latent bugs that the old objc runtime silently accepted, all fixed in this release:
    • -[CAMetalLayer setColorspace:] is now passed a properly-encoded ^{CGColorSpace=} pointer instead of a generic *mut c_void.
    • -[NSApplication setActivationPolicy:] and -[NSWindow makeFirstResponder:] return types are bound as BOOL instead of ().
    • isKindOfClass: is passed a single Class argument instead of accidentally being wrapped in a 1-element array.
  • Workspace dependencies refreshed: Rust 1.95 toolchain (MSRV remains 1.87), cosmic-text 0.19, blade-graphics 0.8, ashpd 0.13, windows 0.62, derive_more 2.x.

Added

  • Runnable smoke example (cargo run -p kael --example objc2_smoke) that exercises every wired AppKit selector — window lifecycle, IME, menu and tray dispatch, global hotkeys, observers, URL scheme — for manual verification.
  • scripts/run-objc2-smoke-bundled.sh wraps the smoke example in a one-off .app so kael:// URLs route to it via Launch Services for end-to-end URL-scheme testing.

Internal

  • Reorganised the mac platform module so each formerly-cocoa file (auto_launch, dialog, permissions, biometric, tray, media_capture, screen_capture, attributed_string, window_appearance, dispatcher, global_hotkey, keyboard, events, platform, window, metal_renderer) lives entirely on objc2 primitives.

All 26 published crates bumped to 0.1.2 via workspace.package.version inheritance.
