0.5.2 - Signed and notarized builds, smarter editing, stability fixes

BriskEdit 0.5.2 is the first release that is signed with a Developer ID and
notarized by Apple. The DMG now opens like any other Mac app — no more
right-click-and-Open dance. Existing installs update seamlessly through the
built-in updater; because the signing identity changed, macOS may ask once to
re-confirm previously granted permissions.

Added

  • Signed and notarized releases. Every build is now signed with a Developer
    ID certificate, hardened, and notarized by Apple, so Gatekeeper accepts it
    out of the box.
  • Surround selection with brackets or quotes. Select text and type (,
    [, {, " or ' to wrap it instead of replacing it, with the selection
    kept so you can keep typing.

Improved

  • Smarter bracket and quote pairing. Typing a closer that's already next to
    the caret steps over it instead of doubling it, backspace inside an empty
    pair removes both characters, and quotes no longer auto-close next to a word
    (so don't stays don't).
  • Closing many tabs respects Cancel. "Close All" and "Close Other Tabs" now
    prompt for each unsaved file in order and stop the moment you cancel, leaving
    the remaining tabs open.
  • Faster syntax highlighting. Large files re-highlight with noticeably less
    overhead while typing.
  • Sharper file-tree filtering. bin and obj folders are only hidden when
    they are actually .NET build output — hand-written bin/ folders in Go,
    Rails, or Node projects stay visible.

Fixed

  • Rapid saves can no longer lose an edit. A save landing while an autosave
    was still writing could previously leave the older content on disk; writes
    are now strictly ordered.
  • Huge growing files no longer bog down the app. A watched file that grows
    past the editing size limit (for example a busy log) is no longer re-read
    into memory on every change.
  • Find in Files can't hang anymore. A search tool stuck on an unresponsive
    network folder is now force-quit instead of freezing the search forever.

Compatibility

  • macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later, Apple silicon.
