RABBIT can now install REAPER language packs, so REAPER itself speaks
your language rather than only RABBIT's wizard. Two are available to
start with, both of which also translate the SWS extension: Spanish,
maintained by Javier Robledo for the Spanish REAPER community, and
German, maintained by MrData in the REAPER Stash. The pack matching the
language RABBIT is running in is suggested and ticked for you (a Mexican
Spanish system gets the Spanish pack); packs for other languages are
listed but left unticked, and nothing is offered in English because
REAPER is already English. By default RABBIT also sets the pack as
REAPER's language, so you don't have to find it under Options,
Preferences, General — untick that step if you only want the file. Only
one language pack can be active, so installing one removes the previous
one RABBIT installed; a pack you put in the LangPack folder yourself is
never touched. They appear under their own Language packs heading in
the package list. Language packs are published without version numbers,
so RABBIT identifies them by what the server reports about the file (its
ETag, or last-modified date and size, falling back to the file's
contents) and offers an update when the translator publishes a new one —
no RABBIT release needed. Spanish additionally offers a choice of OSARA
translation — REAPER Accesible español (the default) or Team PMA —
which OSARA picks up from the pack's file name. Choose it from the Spanish OSARA translation dropdown on the packages page (or --package-variant langpack-es=pma on the command line); your choice is
remembered, so a later update keeps the translation you picked instead of
reverting to the default, and switching cleans up the old file. Suggested
by Carlos Esteban Martínez (#19).
RABBIT now speaks Spanish. The translation was contributed by Carlos
Esteban Martínez (#19) and is picked automatically on Spanish systems —
including regional variants, so an es-MX machine gets the Spanish UI —
or from the language picker at any time.
Windows: the wizard now adds a Microsoft Defender exclusion for RABBIT's
own download cache folder (%TEMP%\rabbit-cache) so freshly built,
low-prevalence — but code-signed — installers, chiefly OSARA's
development snapshots, aren't quarantined as false positives mid-install.
It's scoped to that one folder (never all of %TEMP%), added once under a
single administrator prompt, and skipped without prompting on later runs
once present. RABBIT never turns real-time protection off, and if the
prompt is declined or blocked by policy/Tamper Protection the install
proceeds anyway (a real block still shows the "allow it in Protection
history" guidance). The command-line tool is left untouched so it stays
non-interactive for unattended/CI use.
The packages page's details pane now answers "what's new?": REAPER and
SWS show the newest section of their official changelogs, ReaPack shows
its release notes, and OSARA shows the latest snapshots' list of changes
— the feed OSARA's own updater reads, lightly cleaned for listening
rather than reading: developer-facing "dev:" commits are skipped,
repeated chore lines are collapsed, and trailing GitHub issue/PR
references are stripped. The notes are fetched together with the online
version check under a localized heading; packages whose feeds carry no
real notes (rolling snapshot releases) don't declare a notes source, and
if notes can't be fetched the pane simply keeps its usual contents. (#4)
Changed
The check for the latest versions now runs several packages at once
instead of one after another, so it finishes in roughly the time of the
slowest single check rather than the sum of all of them. The status line
reports "Checking versions… (3 of 11)" as they complete, so it keeps
moving even while a slow check is still running — previously a language
pack, whose check has to look at the file itself, could leave the
progress bar sitting still for several seconds.
A single package failing no longer aborts the whole install. RABBIT now
records the failure, keeps installing every other selected package, and
reports what succeeded and what failed at the end (the wizard's result
page shows "Finished with errors"; the CLI still exits non-zero). The one
exception is dependencies: packages install into REAPER, so if REAPER
itself fails, its extensions (OSARA, SWS, ReaPack, ReaKontrol, the JAWS
scripts, FFmpeg) are skipped with a "REAPER didn't install" note rather
than being installed into a broken or absent REAPER. Standalone extras
(Surge XT, app2clap) are unaffected by a REAPER failure. Dependencies are
declared per package in the manifest (depends_on), and a dependency
that isn't part of the current run (installing an extension into an
already-present REAPER) never gates anything.
macOS self-updates now replace the whole RABBIT.app bundle with the
release's notarized bundle, instead of swapping just the executable inside
it. The app keeps its original Apple-verified (Developer ID + notarized)
signature across updates, so Gatekeeper stays satisfied without any
workarounds and macOS permission grants (such as Full Disk Access, which
are tied to the app's signature) survive updates instead of needing to be
granted again. The previous bundle is kept next to the app as RABBIT.app.rabbit-old for manual rollback, and a renamed app keeps its
name. Requires an updater that already has this change, so the first
bundle-swap update is the one after this release; installs outside an .app bundle and Windows keep the existing binary swap.
Fixed
Windows: when antivirus software blocks a package, RABBIT now says so and
explains how to continue, instead of failing with a raw
"I/O error … (os error 225)". Microsoft Defender occasionally flags a
legitimately code-signed third-party installer it hasn't seen widely yet —
OSARA's development snapshots, rebuilt on every change, are the usual case —
and quarantines it mid-install. The new message states that this is
typically a false positive, that the installer is signed and RABBIT had
already verified the download against the publisher's checksum, and walks
through allowing the
item under Windows Security → Virus & threat protection → Protection
history (or excluding RABBIT's download folder, or installing that one
package by hand). The steps also appear in your own language on the
wizard's result page, and the README gained a matching section. RABBIT
does not, and will not, switch your virus protection off.
macOS: Cmd+Q (and the application menu's Quit item) now quits RABBIT.
The wizard installed no menu bar at all, so macOS had no functional
Quit item to offer and Cmd+Q was a dead key. RABBIT now installs a
minimal menu bar on macOS whose stock Quit item lands in the
application menu as usual; quitting this way behaves exactly like the
window's close button.
macOS: RABBIT no longer refuses to launch after a self-update. Updating
replaces the binary inside RABBIT.app and re-signs the bundle with a
local (ad-hoc) signature — but the bundle still carried the quarantine
marker from its original download, so on the next launch from Finder or
the Dock, Gatekeeper re-checked it, no longer found the notarized
signature it had originally approved, and blocked the app with "RABBIT
could not be opened" (the relaunch right after updating worked because it
bypasses that check). The self-update now clears the quarantine marker
from the whole bundle after re-signing, so subsequent launches work
normally. Anyone already affected can fix their copy by running xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /path/to/RABBIT.app in Terminal once (or
re-downloading the release).
Pressing Enter on the wizard's final Done page now activates Close.
Enter already triggered each step's primary button, but the Done page left
the disabled Next button as the default, so Enter did nothing there.
Close is now the default button on that page, and Enter is additionally
re-routed from the read-only summary and details text boxes — which
otherwise swallow the key — so it works from the control the screen reader
is parked on when the page opens. Enter still does nothing while an install
is running.
