Terento v1.0.0-beta.5

Release date: 2026-08-26

Beta.5 synchronizes the native device compatibility presentation with the
canonical Terento API. Exact reviewed Garmin variants now retain their model,
case size, display type, public evidence status, and map capability without a
local hardcoded status or cross-variant cache inheritance.

For the reviewed fēnix 8 USB identity, the connected-device screen can now
show the exact 47 mm AMOLED variant even when the raw MTP model omits the
display token. Unreviewed size-only identities still fail closed rather than
guessing AMOLED or Solar.

This is a pre-MVP beta release for the Terento macOS application. It is
intended for development and hardware validation; it is not a stable
production release. Apple Silicon users can download the notarized ZIP or DMG
from the GitHub release assets. Freizeitkarte is the only map provider in this
beta.

Included

  • guarded Garmin smartwatch discovery, compatibility evaluation, map
    inventory, source acquisition, installation, backup, removal, and safe
    update foundations;
  • local manifest-backed ownership and fail-closed protection for unknown and
    Garmin-owned device files;
  • metadata-only Freizeitkarte catalog and Garmin device catalog services;
  • serialized MTP lifecycle handling and disconnect-safe map lifecycle UI;
  • a native macOS application target with bundled arm64 libmtp/libusb runtime;
  • catalog-driven Freizeitkarte installation for one or several selected maps,
    including split-header composite-region identity handling, fresh
    device-backed inventory on Install/Manage navigation, and bounded Finishing
    progress;
  • beta installation failures now save local operation diagnostics to
    ~/Library/Logs/Terento/log.txt, including the selected preflight map and
    latest scanned Freizeitkarte objects, with a Show log.txt action on the
    failure screen;
  • an About page with app version, update checking, support links, and local
    privacy statement;
  • API-backed Testing, Tested, Supported, and Verified compatibility status,
    exact AMOLED/Solar variant isolation, and a bounded exact-identity offline
    cache;
  • the public Terento landing page with English, German, French, Polish, Czech,
    and Italian indexable versions, translated metadata, reciprocal hreflang,
    sitemap entries, and a local language preference; and
  • production deployment of the multilingual public landing page at
    https://terento.app.

Validation status

  • Full automated Stage 2–7 validation and Swift/Xcode Release builds pass.
  • The About → Updates flow checks a release metadata endpoint and opens the
    verified release download for user-confirmed installation. It does not
    silently replace the running app.
  • The application is Developer ID signed, notarized, stapled, Gatekeeper
    validated, and distributed as arm64 ZIP and DMG assets containing one
    Terento.app.
  • The harmless write/read/delete roundtrip has passed on one validated Garmin
    smartwatch profile, including after reconnect.
  • Read-only backup and safe-delete hardware gates have passed for the tested
    device and exact Terento-owned map.
  • Safe Update is implemented and covered by automated tests, but its physical
    real-device update gate remains pending a genuinely newer Freizeitkarte
    release.
  • The public beta release is v1.0.0-beta.5 with notarized arm64 ZIP and DMG
    assets published at the GitHub release page.

Known limitations

  • This beta does not claim universal Garmin smartwatch support. Hardware
    evidence is specific to one tested Garmin smartwatch profile and
    connectivity path.
  • The complete first real-product success condition is not declared passed
    until the end-to-end install/update flow is repeated and verified on real
    hardware without changing non-Terento files.
  • Freizeitkarte remains the only supported map provider in this phase.
  • The catalog contains metadata only; Terento does not host or mirror map
    binaries.
  • No PKG, App Store package, or universal Intel/Apple Silicon binary is
    included in this beta.

Privacy and safety

No account, login, cloud device profile, server-side Garmin Unit ID storage, or
required email is introduced by this checkpoint. Device manifests remain local
to the Mac. Terento modifies only files it can prove it owns and prefers a
safe failure over destructive guessing.
