Nora 1.2.0

Added

• Settings → General → Menu bar can show the CPU temperature next to the Nora icon, with a coloured dot for how hot it runs: green below 70 °C, orange from 70 °C, red from 90 °C. Off by default; the tooltip gives the value in degrees, or says when no current reading is available. When the chip's sensors give no CPU temperature, Nora reads it from Mole and keeps that stream running while the setting is on.

Changed

• Updating an app that is open no longer fails with "Quit it and try again". Update now asks first, then quits the open apps the way their own Quit command does, so each one can ask to save your work, updates them and opens them again. An app that stays open, for example because you cancelled its save dialog, is skipped and named in the result, and an app you open while the update runs is left alone. Every app Nora quit comes back, even when a later one refuses to close.

Fixed

• Cleanup and Projects could remove an item you unticked when its name was one Mole's protection list does not accept, such as a folder with .. in its name or a name ending in a space. Nora now asks Mole, after writing the protection and before the run, whether every unticked path really is protected; if one is not, nothing runs and the result names it.
• Cleanup hid a category when Mole could not measure its size, while its items stayed ticked and were cleaned. Every category with items now shows, with "Size unknown" where Mole gave no size. Rows Mole marks with an item count or as counted under another row are read correctly, and are no longer counted twice.
• Cleanup checks again right before every run, not only when something is unticked, so junk that appeared after the review is protected even when everything stays ticked. With system caches included, that check and the clean run in one authenticated session, so the check sees exactly what the run will see; before, it ran without administrator rights and could miss new system items.
• Stop and Quit now wait for every helper a Mole command started without a terminal, not only the command itself: a helper that ignores the stop signal is killed after 2 seconds, and Nora restores Mole's protection list only once all of them are gone. Quitting Nora waits for such helpers too.
• A Full security scan no longer scans Nora's own quarantine and virus database: a quarantined file came back as a new finding, and quarantining it again split its entry so one Restore no longer put it back. A file already in quarantine can no longer be quarantined again.
• When yara failed on one folder, the XProtect matches it had already found in other folders were dropped, and a failure that printed output still counted as a clean run. Matches are now kept as each folder finishes, and the card says when some folders could not be checked.
• A file named meta.json could not be quarantined. Quarantined files are now kept in a payload folder of their entry; older entries are still listed and restored.
• Smart Care no longer runs a step whose review has nothing ticked (or found nothing): it shows "nothing to do" instead of starting the command and reporting a failure. Cleanup, Projects and Installers also refuse an empty selection themselves.
• History counts failed maintenance tasks apart from failed files, so a failed optimize no longer shows as "Failed 0"; each recent session with failures says how many.
• Tools → External drive shows why a preview or a clean failed (the error Mole printed), instead of an empty card. A failed clean says that some files may already be removed.
• Installing Mole from Nora gives up on a download that stalls (30 s to connect, under 1 KB/s for 10 s, 5 minutes in all), and the install can be stopped; a stopped download never reaches the installer.
• Watch Downloads now knows a file by its version, not its name: a file deleted and downloaded again under the same name, or replaced, is checked again. Before, a reused name was never checked after the first time.
• Watch Downloads no longer looks active after ClamAV stopped. Nora restarts it (up to three times in ten minutes, then turns the watch off and says why), and a download clamdscan could not check is named in Settings and checked again after the restart instead of passing as clean.
• Security's launch item review now checks what Apple's script interpreters (sh, zsh, osascript, python3 and others) are told to run: a launch agent that pipes a download into a shell, decodes base64, or runs a script from a temporary, shared or hidden folder is flagged even though /bin/sh itself is signed by Apple. Other Apple-signed programs are still not flagged.
• Smart Care's Scan waits for a module that is already scanning instead of starting it a second time; the first scan could otherwise finish later and overwrite the module's state, even during a run. Stop during Scan stops only the scans Smart Care started, and Stop during Run only the step it started, so a module you run on its own screen goes on.
• Handing a downloaded app over to Homebrew is now a checked transaction. The old copy is set aside in Nora's own folder (journaled and synced first), not straight in the Trash; after brew install Nora reads the new bundle and keeps it only if it has the same bundle ID and is not older; only then does the old copy go to the Trash. Otherwise whatever Homebrew left goes to the Trash and the old copy goes back. A quit or crash mid-install is finished the same way on the next start, and a damaged journal stops the update instead of being ignored. The result shows the version actually installed.
• When Nora puts the old copy back after a failed handover, it also removes the record Homebrew made of the app during that install (its Caskroom folder goes to the Trash), so a later brew upgrade does not replace the copy you kept. brew uninstall is not used for this: it would run the cask's uninstall steps against the restored app.
• An app whose bundle belongs to root, as Google Chrome's does when its own updater installed it, gets Open instead of the Homebrew handover: Nora cannot move such a bundle aside, so the handover could only fail.
• An app that installs its own downloaded update as it quits (Sparkle, Squirrel's ShipIt) now counts as updated when Nora quits it for an update, instead of failing with "It changed since the scan". Nora reopens quit apps only once their bundle has stopped changing, and tries once more if the app is not running a few seconds later; the screen says "Opening the apps again" meanwhile. When macOS does not let Nora move an app aside, the result says so in words and points to App Management, instead of showing a file error.
• Right before an app is handed over, Nora reads it and its Homebrew entry again: an app that updated itself since the scan, or a cask that changed, is skipped with "Scan again".
• An app is matched to a Homebrew cask only by its exact bundle ID, not by an ID that merely starts the same way, and by the name the cask really installs: a cask that renames its app (for example CleanMyMac_5.app installed as CleanMyMac.app) no longer matches the downloaded copy.
• Versions with letters compare only with their own kind: 2.0rc1 no longer counts as newer than 2.0, and an app's own feed that gives only build numbers is not weighed against Homebrew's marketing version.
• The menu bar title and the quick menu show only current numbers: when Mole's status stream stops or goes quiet for 15 seconds they show dashes (and the quick menu the reason) instead of the last values.
