Mac (Apple silicon or Intel) Locker-Manager-0.11.4-universal.dmg

If you already have Locker Manager installed, you do not need to download anything: it updates itself.

First time opening it

Locker Manager is free and open source, and is not yet registered with Apple or Microsoft, so the first time you open it your computer shows a one-off "unrecognised app" warning. The app is safe and runs entirely on your own computer. Here is exactly what to click.

On Windows

  1. Run the downloaded Locker-Manager-Setup file. If your browser asks, choose Keep.
  2. If a blue "Windows protected your PC" screen appears, click the small More info link.
  3. Click Run anyway, then follow the installer.

On a Mac

  1. Open the downloaded .dmg and drag Locker Manager into Applications.
  2. Open Locker Manager from Applications once. macOS will say it cannot check it and offer only Done. Click Done.
  3. Open System Settings, then Privacy & Security, scroll to the bottom and click Open Anyway, then Open Anyway again.
  4. You only do this once. After that, open it like any other app.

Updates install themselves on Windows and on a Mac. On a Mac this needs the app to be in your Applications folder and your account to be allowed to change it; otherwise the app tells you when a new version is out and opens this download page, and you install the new version over the old one. On a Mac, copies older than 0.11.4 need one update by hand: they either cannot update themselves (before 0.11.0) or stop after their first update (0.11.0 to 0.11.3, which show "Could not check for updates: ENOTEMPTY"). Install 0.11.4 or later from this page once, over the old one. Your school's file is not touched, and from then on it updates itself.

What's new in 0.11.4

Mac users: install this version by hand, once. Versions 0.11.0 to 0.11.3 on a Mac update themselves once, then stop. After that, every check shows "Could not check for updates: ENOTEMPTY: directory not empty". This version fixes the fault, but a Mac that already shows the message cannot fetch the fix by itself. Click Open the download page on that message, or use the Mac download link above. Then drag Locker Manager into Applications and choose Replace. Your school's file is not touched. From then on, updates install themselves again.

Windows computers are not affected and update as usual.

Every change

Fixed

  • Macs keep updating after their first self-update
  • tighter checks on links, files, permissions and IT's managed settings
  • undo keeps the record of what was printed, and a file that cannot be updated no longer stays locked
  • a year level typed as "Year 8" or "Year 12" now matches students, in imports and exclusions

Documentation

  • IT guide, user guide and release notes brought up to date, and each audit says what is fixed
  • the README and website describe version 0.11.3, and every release keeps them current

Build and packaging

  • bump actions/deploy-pages from 4.0.5 to 5.0.1 (#3)
  • bump actions/upload-pages-artifact from 3.0.1 to 5.0.0 (#2)
  • bump actions/setup-node from 5.0.0 to 7.0.0 (#4)
  • bump actions/upload-artifact from 4.6.2 to 7.0.2 (#1)
