v1.1.14

Web apps, new in this release

Any site can be installed as an app of its own, the way Safari's Add to Dock does it.

• File → Install This Site as an App… reads the page's web app manifest and shows what it found: the name, where it opens, the window it asks for and where it will live. You can rename it before installing.
• A real app in your Applications folder. Drift writes it with the site's own icon (converted to a .icns), its name and its theme colour, so it appears in the Applications folder, Launchpad and Spotlight like any other app. A site without a manifest still installs, using the page's title and favicon.
• A window of its own. No tabs, no sidebar, no address bar: the app's icon and name, back, forward, reload, and a title bar tinted with the site's colour. Menu commands act on it, and its size and position are remembered.
• Links that leave the site open in Drift. An address outside the app's scope — another host, another port, a different folder — is handed to the browser as a tab instead of quietly replacing the app's page, so an app never gets lost down a link. Sign-in redirects and form posts stay in the app, because otherwise you could not sign in at all.
• File → Manage Web Apps… lists what you installed, opens it, shows it in the Finder, or removes it — moved to the Trash, so it can be put back.

What this is not: Safari's web apps run their own process with their own identity. These are small launchers that open the site in Drift's own window, so Drift has to be installed, the Dock shows Drift while the app runs, and quitting Drift closes it. That is said plainly in the README.

Fixes

• Touch ID enrolment failing with -25299. The 1.1.13 build and a second copy of Drift — a debug build, say — could not see each other's Keychain item, so enrolling a fingerprint failed with "The key could not be read from the Keychain (error -25299)". Each build now keeps its key under its own account name and replaces its own item instead of colliding with a sibling's.
• Two servers on one Mac. Caught before it shipped, while web apps were being tested: the scope of an app compared hosts but not ports, so 127.0.0.1:8898 counted as 127.0.0.1:8899. The port is part of the site now, with a test pinning it.

287 tests in 18 files, no warnings in either configuration. Everything else is as it was in 1.1.13.
