Oink 0.3.0 adds microphone sharing, finer touchpad and pointer-lock controls, upgrading from a local installer and a new way of receiving files, and improves audio, pairing and screen layout.

New

  • Share a computer's microphone with your other computers.
  • When controlling Windows with a Mac touchpad, choose native multi-finger gestures and Mac-style two-finger scrolling independently.
  • Set a shortcut that moves the pointer straight to each computer. Hold the configurable escape key to move the pointer off a locked screen temporarily; the lock stays in place when you return.
  • Drop a downloaded DMG or MSI into Oink to upgrade from a local installer.
  • Rebuilt cross-device dragging and file copying to work with more apps, with improved file transfer and storage.

Changes

  • Mixed-version groups: 0.3.0 and 0.2.x computers can still share keyboard, mouse and audio. Clipboard sharing, file copying and file dragging require both computers to run 0.3.0. Upgrade all your computers; a normal upgrade does not require pairing again.

Fixes

  • Fixed held keys such as Tab and modifier keys being released unexpectedly during remote control, and improved input release and pointer restoration after switching computers or cancelling a drag.
  • Improved audio continuity during silent gaps, delayed delivery, output device changes and reconnection.
  • Fixed a "prepared peer lost" error when pairing again right after the first pairing, and improved pairing after a reset and reconnection within a device group.
  • Fixed layout changes that had already been applied being rejected as busy when re-sent after a restart.
  • Fixed Windows mirrored displays being reported as an unreadable system arrangement. Arrangement changes now move a mirrored group together and keep it mirrored.

Downloads

  • Mac: the .dmg file — Apple silicon, macOS 14.2 or later. Developer ID signed and notarized.
  • Windows: the .msi file — x64, Windows 10 22H2 (build 19045) or later, or Windows 11. Requires the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Evergreen runtime (preinstalled on current Windows).

Verify downloads against SHA256SUMS.

Known limitations

  • The Windows MSI is not code-signed in this release. SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC": choose More info → Run anyway. UAC shows an unknown publisher.
  • Receiving files on a Mac requires the Oink File Provider location to be enabled; if prompted, enable it in Settings → Permissions. Windows skips symbolic links that point to other items in the same transfer; supported Mac-to-Mac transfers keep them.
  • Windows users on 0.2.1 need to install the 0.2.2 bridge update before the in-app update can install 0.3.0.
  • Downgrading to 0.2.x is not supported once the new received-file store is in use.
