v4.2.17 — GUI energy efficiency and update check improvements
GUI event polling rate
Massive improvements to energy impact / battery usage of the GUI.
The XPC client now flushes pending events to the GUI every 3 seconds instead of every 150 ms, reducing unnecessary CPU and rendering work when the window is open. The event highlight scroll delay has been extended to 5 seconds to give more time to locate the highlighted row.
The maximum number of displayed events has been raised from 500 to 1 250.
Update check page
The update-check page at craigjbass.github.io/clearancekit/update.html has been improved:
- Version picker — users who open the page without a
?sha=parameter are now shown a dropdown of all stable releases to select their version, rather than a plain instruction message - Browser history — selecting a version pushes a history entry so the back button returns to the picker
- DMG download — a download button for the latest release DMG appears on the status card; each release in the list also has its own DMG link in the accordion header
