Numlex 4.9.1
Numlex 4.9.1
This is a packaging-only patch release. The app is unchanged from 4.9.0; the
DMG is back to the classic, standard disk image.
What changed
- The installer image no longer carries styled artwork, a custom background,
window layout or a volume icon.Numlex-4.9.1-macOS-arm64.dmgis a plain,
read-only disk image containing exactly two items: Numlex.app and an
Applications shortcut. Open it, drag the app across, eject. - Everything else — every feature, calculation, dataset and setting — is
identical to 4.9.0.
Where the styling came from
4.9.0 introduced an optional Finder-styled DMG (custom background and icon
positions) produced by an automation pipeline. It proved to be more fragile and
less predictable than the plain image, so this release removes that pipeline and
its artwork entirely. The plain image is now the only default: there is no style
flag, no "-plain" filename variant, and no generated background.
Unchanged in this release
- One-time welcome (calculation bloom), dates & times, durations, timezones,
timestamps, Timespan, video timecode, work calendars and special dates. - Finance: compound interest, ROI/CAGR, present value, loans, sales tax/VAT/GST
presets, 2026 income-tax estimates (estimates only, not tax advice) and
BLS CPI-U inflation. - PDF export and native printing from one frozen snapshot.
- Tags, dividers, subtotals, grand totals, tag aggregates and statistics
(including the dynamicrandepoch and the footer statistic). - 27 built-in functions and the adaptive floating Total.
4.9.0 is untouched
The 4.9.0 GitHub release, its tag, its notes and its assets remain exactly as
published; nothing was replaced, edited or re-uploaded. 4.9.1 is a new, separate
release. Updater-enabled builds (4.8.0 and later) simply see 4.9.1 as the next
version in the app.
Updates
Secure in-app updates are unchanged: HTTPS-only feed, EdDSA-signed archives
verified before extraction, Sparkle 2.9.6. 4.8.0 was the first updater-enabled
release, so 4.8.x and 4.9.0 users receive 4.9.1 in the app; users on 4.7.0 or
earlier install this release manually once from the .dmg and update in-app
afterwards.
Installation
- macOS 26 or later, Apple Silicon (arm64).
- Download

project). On first launch, Control-click the app and choose Open, or allow
