SheepText now updates itself: it checks for a new version when it opens and once a day, and installs it with one click instead of sending you to a web page.

  • In-app updates: automatic, or SheepText ▸ Check for Updates… to check right away. Release notes are behind Details…
  • Signed updates: every update is verified against SheepText's own signing key before anything is unpacked; one that does not verify is never installed
  • Unsaved work is safe: Install & Relaunch asks to save open documents first, just like Quit
  • New highlighter: syntax highlighting now runs on SheepText's own pure-Swift engine instead of tree-sitter, network configs included, and stays fast on huge or minified files

This version has to be installed by hand once; from here on, SheepText updates itself.
