SysManager 1.76.0

[1.76.0] - 2026-09-02

Pressing Escape now stops whatever the current tab is doing — a disk scan, a cleanup, a speed test. Until
now Escape did nothing anywhere in the app, and the Cancel button only appears once an operation is
already running, so if you were not using a mouse there was no reliable way to stop one.

Added

• Escape stops the operation on the open tab. Sixteen tabs can cancel what they are doing, and the
  Cancel button for each is deliberately hidden until there is something to cancel — which is right for
  the mouse, but meant the button appeared in the middle of the keyboard order, at an unpredictable place,
  while the scan was already running. Escape now does it directly, on every one of those tabs. It only
  acts while something is actually running, and only after the control you are on has had its own chance
  to use the key, so it does not interfere with closing a drop-down or undoing an edit in a text box.
  Stopping is always the safe direction — nothing is left half-changed, because each of these operations
  was already built to be stoppable.

Verify the download

Get-FileHash .\SysManager-v1.76.0.exe -Algorithm SHA256

Expected SHA256: 912B064D75CB9361C5DCCB47D2B94091BC66D3E1B8134EA23EC621F8013382AE

This build is not code-signed, so Windows will warn on first launch. That is
expected for a small independent app: see what the warning says and what to
click.
Code signing is planned through the SignPath Foundation,
which provides free certificates to open-source projects, with signing performed by
SignPath.io. Until then, the SHA256 above and the build
attestation below are what establish that a download is the genuine build.

Code signing policy

This release is not code-signed. The team roles, release-approval process and
privacy policy required by the SignPath Foundation programme
are documented in advance under Code signing
policy. That
documentation is a prerequisite for applying, not evidence of a certificate. The
attribution line naming SignPath as the signing provider will appear here once a
certificate is actually issued.

This program will not transfer any information to other networked systems unless
specifically requested by the user or the person installing or operating it. Full
privacy policy.

Verify where this binary came from

This exe was built by GitHub Actions from this public source, and the build is
recorded in the Sigstore public transparency log. With the
GitHub CLI:

gh attestation verify .\SysManager-v1.76.0.exe --repo laurentiu021/SystemManager

That proves which commit and workflow produced this exact binary, something the
SHA256 file cannot show, since it is published alongside the exe it describes.
Each release also ships SysManager-v1.76.0.sbom.json, a CycloneDX inventory of
every dependency resolved for this build.
