DisplayHelp 0.6.4 (102)

Released 2026-09-21. Full release for macOS 14 or later, with a universal Apple Silicon and Intel installer. Existing profiles remain compatible. Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

What changed

  • A compact menu keeps everyday controls visible. Advanced display settings are under More Controls; Troubleshooting groups Detect Displays, fixes, history and Copy Diagnostics.
  • The menu fits its content within the available screen height, with scrolling for longer setups. The layout diagram labels screens without repeating a separate legend.
  • Each display shows its actual position/alignment relative to a named screen and its rotation beside Place…. Placement actions name both the selected and reference screen. Make Main is inside Place.
  • Moving the primary screen translates the full desktop to preserve its origin and main-display role. Placement is checked against macOS readback before it is reported successful.
  • Diagnostics export the latest 20 events with linked change IDs, before/requested/actual layout state, and rotation verification. Keep, manual Revert, timeout, disconnect, quit and failed rollback outcomes are distinguished. Full history stays local.
  • The original Audio picker and Output Volume behavior are retained. There is no new global output selector in this release.
  • Current documentation screenshots and downloadable Word/PDF guides are refreshed for this version.

Validation

  • 148 Swift regression tests passed on the release source tree, including placement, rotation, readback failures and confirmation outcomes.
  • All 6 installer lifecycle checks passed.
  • Native fixture checks cover short-window scrolling, content sizing, expanded controls, light/dark, four displays, mirroring and long names.
  • The user confirmed placement and alignment work in the local trial. A separate intermittent physical signal-dropout report remains unresolved; this release does not claim to diagnose or repair cable/adapter faults.
  • The universal installer is Developer ID signed, notarized by Apple, stapled, and accepted by Gatekeeper.
  • Local upgrade to 0.6.4 (102) succeeded; the installed executable matches the signed build and the installer receipt reports 0.6.4.102.
  • All 34 current documentation screenshots were recaptured from production controls; the Word/PDF guides were rebuilt.

Screenshots use the current production controls with isolated sample data. They do not establish hardware compatibility. Comprehensive room-by-room hot-plug, audio and accessibility walkthroughs remain deployment checks. Earlier hardware validation and audio validation remain historical records.
