OpenNavo 0.1.16

OpenNavo 0.1.16

Improvements

• Reduce recurring CPU, filesystem and database work in background security scans, firewall activity and fan monitoring while retaining five-second fan keepalives.
• Retry rejected startup probes on later scans, detect atomic download replacements and keep fallback polling paced when filesystem events disconnect.
• Improve resource-monitor sampling, process readings and chart updates.
• Improve App Store installation handling for package signatures, install paths and administrator prompts.
• Collect anonymous daily usage automatically, including background operation. Reports contain a random installation identifier, time, platform, app version and language; the previous Settings toggle has been removed.

Known issue

• A SQLite SIGBUS crash observed during earlier validation has not been conclusively reproduced and resolved.

OpenNavo 0.1.15

OpenNavo 0.1.15

Improvements

• Add optional anonymous usage statistics for running Mac installations, including background operation. Collection is off by default and can be enabled in Settings; reports contain only a random identifier, time, platform, app version, and language. Turning it off clears the local identifier and pending reports.
• Check for OpenNavo updates hourly while automatic checks are enabled, instead of stopping after the first successful check of the day.
• Keep startup Homebrew refreshes from suppressing scheduled checks across all selected update sources.

Known issue

• A SQLite SIGBUS crash observed during earlier validation has not been conclusively reproduced and resolved.

OpenNavo 0.1.14

OpenNavo 0.1.14

Improvements

• Speed up full security scans with two isolated workers and a clean-file cache. Show live progress and let users force a fresh scan.
• Add process grouping by app and a CPU usage breakdown, including completed child processes and OpenNavo itself.
• Explain signature issues in a dedicated view and offer the existing uninstall review flow.
• Improve catalog synchronization, update failure details, and selection of Mac downloads by chip.
• Let users clear finished task history while preserving records that can still be undone or rolled back.
• Explain why administrator access is requested and localize macOS permission text in all six supported languages.

Known issue

• A SQLite SIGBUS crash observed during earlier validation has not been conclusively reproduced and resolved.

OpenNavo 0.1.13

OpenNavo 0.1.13

New features

• Add an optional outbound application firewall with per-app and destination rules, connection prompts, activity history, and blocklists. Enable it in OpenNavo and approve the macOS system extension and network filter when prompted.
• Provide firewall controls and explanations in all six supported languages. If the extension cannot connect, the app reports its status and any required restart.

Improvements

• Improve menu-bar panels so they open without bringing the main window forward and dismiss consistently.
• Improve App Store account-status messages and report a missing download helper explicitly.
• Keep startup-item switches responsive during scans and prevent stale scan results from reverting changes.
• Protect live SQLite files and their aliases from security scans to preserve database locks.
• Expand the website's security pages and keep eligible apps paused only by the catalog freshness rule available for search indexing.

Firewall limits

• The firewall controls outbound TCP and UDP connections. Unknown connections are allowed when the app is unavailable or a prompt times out; this is not a fail-closed network boundary.
• Domain rules need a hostname supplied by macOS. Connections without one can match IP, port, and app rules instead.

Known issue

• A SQLite SIGBUS crash was observed during earlier validation. This version adds database-lock protections and regression tests, but the original crash has not been conclusively reproduced and resolved.

OpenNavo 0.1.12

OpenNavo 0.1.12

New features

• Inspect app security findings, scan downloads with an independent ClamAV engine, and manage supported startup items.
• Discover and manage Mac App Store apps through the native Store integration. Downloads and installations depend on your App Store account and macOS support.
• Check for and install supported native app updates from Sparkle, Electron, GitHub, and curated vendor sources, with identity verification and rollback support where available.
• Browse developer-download apps alongside Homebrew apps, with source-aware details and download links across the desktop app and website.

Improvements

• Add matching catalog and update-source support to the server and MCP, with interface text in all six supported languages.
• Improve multilingual page titles, descriptions, and canonical URLs on the website.

Open-source distribution

• OpenNavo's own source now uses GPL-3.0-only. Third-party components retain their licenses and notices.
• Include the corresponding source archive for the bundled ClamAV engine with this release.

Known issue

• One macOS validation session encountered a SQLite SIGBUS crash after app updates. The root cause remains unidentified; subsequent stress tests did not reproduce it.

OpenNavo 0.1.11

Fixes

OpenNavo 0.1.9

OpenNavo 0.1.9

Improvements

• Improve version history from Homebrew taps and keep release-note counts consistent with the selected language and original-text mode.
• Fix bold text beside Chinese, Japanese, and Korean punctuation and remove repeated opening article titles.
