[alpha-0.6] - [2026-06-01]

Distribution Warning

This build is ad hoc-signed, not Developer ID signed, and not notarized. macOS Gatekeeper will reject it by default. Install only if you are comfortable testing ad hoc-signed macOS software and granting system audio capture permission.

Changes Since alpha-0.5

  • Improved DSP backend recovery after long sleep/wake cycles.
  • Preserve the pending audio resume intent across late screen wake and session activation notifications.
  • Preserve resume intent if the Mac sleeps again while GlassEQ is still reconnecting after a prior wake.
  • Added lifecycle regression coverage for repeated sleep/wake cycles and stale observer callbacks.

Included

  • Menu bar app shell.
  • Core Audio system output tap.
  • Playback of processed audio to the current default output.
  • Parametric EQ, 10-band graphic EQ, and 31-band graphic EQ profiles.
  • AutoEQ / EqualizerAPO and REW text import.
  • Per-output profile mappings by Core Audio device UID.
  • Profile persistence under the GlassEQ sandbox container, with migration from legacy ~/Library/Application Support/GlassEQ data.
  • Settings helper app and local IPC for editing profiles from the menu bar app.
  • Audio route recovery after system sleep, screen wake, session unlock, and Bluetooth route teardown while the screen is locked.
  • More conservative built-in speaker buffering to avoid steady-state playback underruns and distortion.
  • Basic callback metrics and diagnostics tooling.

Supported Alpha Target

  • macOS 26.0 or newer.
  • Apple Silicon / arm64 only.

Known Issues

  • Gatekeeper rejection is expected because the app is not notarized.
  • System audio capture permission may require manual cleanup or retrying on test machines.
  • Bluetooth and AirPods routes may still expose macOS Core Audio edge cases; report device model, macOS version, and steps to reproduce.
  • No automatic updates.
  • No crash reporting.
  • No notarized Developer ID build yet.
  • No x86_64 build.
