Added

  • The menu shows which version you're running, next to the Loudini name.
    Worth knowing when a rebuild has quietly invalidated your permissions.
  • Update notifications. Loudini asks GitHub once a day whether a newer
    release exists, and if so adds a row that opens the releases page. It never
    downloads or installs anything by itself. Turn it off with Check for
    Updates Automatically
    in the menu, and nothing is ever requested.
    This is the first version that can tell you about an update — 0.3.0 and
    earlier have no way to know a new one exists.

Fixed

  • Per-app rows showed "helper" instead of the app's name. Browsers and
    Electron apps play audio from helper processes, which macOS doesn't report as
    applications, so the row fell back to the tail of the bundle id. Loudini now
    resolves the parent app, so the row reads "Google Chrome".

Changed

  • The update check is the only network request Loudini makes. It is
    unauthenticated, sends nothing that identifies you or your machine — the
    User-Agent and language headers are pinned so the system can't add your kernel
    build or language list — stores no cookies, and is silent when it fails.
