What changed in 1.14.1

Fixed

  • Fresh installs no longer crash on first launch. On a machine that wasn't the build
    machine, the Engine crashed the moment the first-launch supplies-and-templates window
    opened (the starter-template list looked for its resources in a location that only
    exists on a development machine). This is also why the Engine appeared to never
    auto-launch after the installer finished — it launched and quit within a second —
    and why the setup window then never came back: the one-time offer was consumed
    before the window survived. The resource lookup now uses the packaged location, the
    offer is only consumed after the window is actually up, and a CI check now blocks
    the crash-prone lookup pattern from ever returning.
  • The Engine no longer stalls at launch reading the Documents folder. The menu-bar
    Engine used to scan the templates folder (inside your Documents folder) the instant it
    launched. On a fresh install that triggers the macOS "allow access to your Documents
    folder" permission, and while that was pending the Engine could freeze on launch. The
    Engine no longer touches Documents at startup at all; the first-launch setup window
    loads your existing templates in the background, so it always opens right away.
  • The installer no longer offers to install on Intel Macs it can't run on. The apps
    are Apple-Silicon-only; the installer now says so up front instead of installing cleanly
    and then failing to launch.
  • Reinstalling over a running Engine now starts the new version. Previously an in-place
    update could keep the already-running old Engine and show its (older) setup window; the
    installer now quits the running apps first so the freshly installed version takes over.
  • Clearer feedback if starter templates can't be saved. If the templates folder can't
    be written (for example, Documents access was denied), the setup window now says so
    instead of closing as though everything installed.
