Full Changelog: beta-v0.3...beta-v0.4

Installing an unsigned build on another Mac

1. Download and unzip adminer-desktop-macos.zip
2. Move Adminer Desktop.app into /Applications.
3. Clear the quarantine flag:
   xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Adminer Desktop.app"
4. Open it normally — double-click, Spotlight, whatever.

Without the terminal

1. Double-click the app and let macOS block it.
2. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security.
3. Scroll down to the message about the blocked app, click Open Anyway.
4. Confirm with Touch ID or password.

Notes

• On macOS 15 and newer, right-click → Open no longer works for unsigned apps. Most guides online still say it does, so people assume the app is broken.
• The xattr command has to run on their Mac, after download — macOS attaches the quarantine flag at download time, so it can't be stripped in advance.
• Apple Silicon only. Intel Macs cannot run this build at all.
• Signing it properly, so none of this is needed, requires a paid Apple Developer account. Maybe in future #1

beta-v0.3

What's Changed

• Smooth out navigation: page transitions and a sidebar that stays put by @landsman in #13
• Give the app an Edit menu so the clipboard works by @landsman in #14
• Let the settings gear scroll with the sidebar it belongs to by @landsman in #15
• Stop capping imports at PHP's shared-host defaults by @landsman in #16
• Keep a long statement inside the window instead of dragging the layout after it by @landsman in #20
• Import a pg_dump instead of choking on its own data by @landsman in #19
• Render the settings dialog from Latte, and fix its broken Save by @landsman in #21
