Blanc 1.45.0

Added

• Shared Spaces. Keep a Space the same on each of your computers. With
  Sync on, open Settings → Sync, turn on Spaces and groups under What
  syncs, and choose which Spaces to share. Their open tabs, tab names, groups
  and pinned tabs, in the same order, then match on every device that has it
  turned on, and a change on one appears on the others. Every device that
  turns it on can change these Spaces. The page you're looking at never
  changes under you: a close or a new address from another device waits until
  you leave that tab. The switch is off by default and set on each device;
  turning it off keeps a copy of your Spaces on that device, and your other
  devices keep syncing. Shared Spaces is end-to-end encrypted like the rest of
  Sync and belongs to the Personal profile. Private tabs, internal pages and
  local files never sync. Up to 25 Spaces can be shared, and a Space you
  delete still uses sync storage for 30 days. A Space too large to sync says
  so and asks you to split it.
• Recently closed on every device. A tab you close in a shared Space
  closes on your other devices too, and their Recently closed lists it with
  the name of the device it was closed on, so you can bring it back from any
  of them. Closed tabs still use sync storage for 30 days.
• Turn on Sync without a passphrase. In Settings → Sync, Turn on Sync
  starts syncing this device with nothing to name or remember. To add another
  device, choose Add device to show a code, and on the other device choose
  Add this device with a code and enter it; the sheet says when the device
  joined. Because a sync like this has no passphrase, the device that started
  it offers Keep a way back in: copy its recovery code into your password
  manager, since it's the only way to reach your synced data if you ever lose
  all your devices. Starting with a sync name and passphrase is still there
  under Other ways.
• Play the Sunrise when Blanc opens. Settings → Appearance → Play the
  Sunrise when Blanc opens draws the Sunrise once on the first Start Page
  after launch, over the page as it already looks. It's off by default and set
  on each device. Any click or key ends it, and it's skipped when your system
  reduces motion.
• Links you open in a new tab can follow your link rules. Turn on Settings
  → Profiles → Open links from other apps → Also for links I open in a new
  tab, and a link you open in a new tab (a click on a link that opens a new
  tab, a middle-click, ⌘-click or Ctrl-click, or Open Link in New Tab)
  opens where a rule sends it: another profile, another Space or a private
  tab. It's off by default and set on each device. Links a page opens by
  itself, such as a sign-in window, and links in private tabs stay where they
  are.
• Connect your iPhone. Pair Blanc for iPhone, now in a public beta on
  TestFlight, by scanning a code. In Settings → Sync choose Connect your
  iPhone (it's also in the Start Page's Finish setup list), and on
  your iPhone open Blanc, choose Pair with your Blanc and point it at the
  code. If Sync isn't on yet, Blanc asks before turning it on. When Sync is
  on, Add device shows the same scannable code.

Changed

• Vertical tabs show your Space. With tabs on the side, the current
  Space's mark sits in the rail's top row and opens the Spaces menu; with no
  Spaces yet it offers them. The rail's footer gains a button beside
  New tab that puts the current tab, or the selected tabs, in a new group.

Fixed

• A tab a site opened in the background (with ⌘-click or Ctrl-click on GitHub
  or YouTube, for example) no longer stops you from switching Spaces once it
  has loaded.
• Site icons that aren't square, such as a wide logo, keep their shape instead
  of being stretched.
