v0.13-beta

macOS no longer warns when you open this app. It is now signed with an Apple developer certificate and notarized by Apple. Download it, unpack it, drag it to Applications, double-click. That is the whole installation.

Every previous version was refused on first launch with a message about not being able to verify the app is free of malware, and getting past it meant a trip through System Settings that lost a lot of people. That is gone.

The card driver no longer leaves you stuck

The Romanian eID driver can stop responding, and when it did the app simply spun forever — "Detecting…", then a timeout, then "Detecting…" again, with nothing telling you what to do. It now recognises that state and says plainly that the driver has stopped responding and the Mac needs restarting, which is the only thing that fixes it.

Better still, the app is now much less likely to cause it. That failure happens when a program is interrupted in the middle of talking to the card, so closing the app while it is reading your card could leave the driver stuck — for every application on your Mac, until you restarted. Closing now waits for the card to finish, and tells you why it is waiting.
