@cremenescu cremenescu released this 16 Jun 09:23

Signed and notarized by Apple. This is the first release that opens with
no Gatekeeper warning — no more xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine workaround.
Download, drag to Applications, open.

Install

  1. Download mRemoteNXT-v0.4.0-alpha.dmg below.
  2. Open the .dmg, drag mRemoteNXT.app to the Applications shortcut.
  3. Open it from /Applications. That's it.

Still self-contained (~21 MB) — no Homebrew install needed at runtime.

What's new

Signing & distribution

  • Developer ID signature — the app and every bundled library are now signed
    with a Developer ID certificate (Vtun Hardware SRL).
  • Apple notarization — the .dmg is submitted to Apple's notary service and
    the ticket is stapled, so macOS Gatekeeper accepts it offline with no warning.
  • Hardened Runtime enabled, with the minimal entitlements required by the
    bundled FreeRDP / ffmpeg codec paths (JIT, executable memory, library
    validation relaxed for the re-signed Homebrew dylibs).

Docs

  • README and the in-app Help window no longer mention the xattr workaround —
    it is no longer needed.

Known limitations

  • FullFileEncryption="true" (whole-XML encryption) — not implemented.
  • Schema ConfVersion > 2.6 — untested.
  • RDP image-clipboard, drive / sound redirect, remote-cursor visibility — not yet.
  • VNC, external applications (IntApp nodes) — planned.
