Container Manager 1.0.6

New

• Software updates. ContainerManager now checks GitHub for newer releases of both itself and the Apple container tool (previously it only flagged container installs below its minimum version). Check for Updates… in the app menu runs a check and reports a per-component summary. Settings ▸ Updates shows a Components panel with each piece's installed version and status, an automatic-check cadence (on launch / daily / weekly / never), and the last-checked time. A newer container release also surfaces as a passive Update to … badge in the sidebar. Applying a container update reuses the signed-installer flow; ContainerManager updates open the release page for download (the app doesn't self-update yet).
• Stack definitions are now files. Templates are declarative JSON documents (.containerstack) instead of code — see the stack definitions guide:
  • Import: New Stack ▸ Import Template… (or double-click a .containerstack in Finder). Imported templates join the New Stack menu, stored in Application Support/ContainerManager/StackTemplates (New Stack ▸ Show Templates Folder to hand-manage them).
  • Export: every template's create sheet has Export… — including the built-ins, which now ship in the same format and double as documented examples.
  • docker-compose import: choosing a compose.yml converts a practical subset (image, environment, short- and long-form ports/volumes, depends_on ordering; service-name references become ${IP:…} tokens). Services that can't be represented (e.g. build:) are skipped rather than failing the whole file, and everything that didn't carry over is summarised in an "Imported with caveats" alert.

Fixed

• Container services left stopped after an update. Updating the container tool stops services so the installer can replace files; it now restarts them afterwards only if they were running beforehand, instead of leaving them down.
