Upkeep of everything behind the list — security checks that keep
themselves current, a newer toolchain, deeper code analysis — and the
catalogue's second batch.

Security status — what changed

  • Re-checks are automatic now. Every app's download page is re-scanned
    on VirusTotal at least every 90 days, and the date on its security line
    moves with it. Any warning moves an app back to "Unverified" and opens an
    issue for the maintainer to look at; nothing is ever marked safe or
    removed automatically. The note under "No known warnings" now says what
    it rests on: the published checklist when the app was listed, and a scan
    of its download page on the date shown.
  • The first runs re-scanned 197 of the earlier apps, including eight whose
    linked scan was of an older download link. Nine of them — 7-Zip, Android
    Studio, DBeaver, DevToys, Helium, itch, KeePassXC, LuLu and Meld — drew a
    single warning from one engine and show "Unverified" until the maintainer
    has looked at each one. The remaining apps follow automatically from
    28 October.

Added

  • 38 apps in a second batch — screenshot, clipboard and window tools,
    package managers, file sharing and remote access, emulators, local AI,
    CAD and 3D printing. The RSS feed lists
    each one. 30 of them carry "No known warnings"; 8 stay "Unverified" for
    now, each for a stated reason.
  • Two categories: Local AI and CAD & 3D (14 in all).

Changed

  • The AI Disclosure describes the automatic re-check and names the model
    used for this release.
  • Built and tested on Node.js 26; TypeScript files are now also
    type-checked by TypeScript 7, beside the TypeScript 6 that Astro's
    checker still needs.
  • SonarQube Cloud analyses every change from CI, with test coverage —
    which now also measures the build scripts and the in-page scripts.

Fixed

  • A malformed date in an app's data stopped the build with an unhelpful
    error instead of naming the field.

364 apps in 14 categories at https://softharbor.net — every one linked to its official page, with its security check dated and its scan one click away. Full history: CHANGELOG.md.
