BetterTile 0.4.2 Beta

This beta makes an available update easier to notice. Window-management
behavior is unchanged from 0.4.1.

Update reminders

BetterTile now tells you which version is waiting instead of showing a plain
indicator:

  • The menu-bar icon turns blue and its tooltip names the available version.
  • The BetterTile menu shows an Update Available… item with a version badge.
  • The menu-bar panel and Settings show the version on a blue capsule. Clicking
    it opens the update.
  • The reminder survives a restart. It clears itself once you install or skip
    the update, or when the update is no longer offered.
  • BetterTile checks for updates every four hours while it is running, instead
    of once per day. You can still turn automatic checks off in Settings.

Scheduled updates now arrive quietly. BetterTile marks the menu bar and waits
instead of interrupting you with a dialog. Checking for updates yourself still
opens the usual update window right away.

Accessibility permission

This release is signed with the same BetterTile Beta certificate as 0.4.1, so
your Accessibility grant should carry over. No re-approval should be needed.

If BetterTile stops responding to shortcuts after updating, remove the old
BetterTile entry from System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility
and add BetterTile again, then let us know through Send Feedback…. That
would be a bug worth reporting rather than expected behavior.

Privacy

BetterTile stores the version number and build number of a known available
update on your Mac so the reminder survives a restart, and removes that once the
update is installed, skipped, or withdrawn. Nothing is sent anywhere. This
release adds no tracking, telemetry, new permission, or user-data collection.
Update checks continue to read the GitHub-hosted appcast, and Sparkle continues
to authenticate downloads with its EdDSA signature.

Known limitations

  • Bento manages up to six windows per display; additional windows float.
  • This remains beta software. If a layout becomes stuck, use Repair Current
    Bento Layout     from the menu-bar menu.

Feedback

Bug reports are welcome through Send Feedback… in the menu-bar menu or as a
GitHub issue. Please include your macOS version, the affected application, and
the shortest sequence that reproduces the problem.
