v1.0.5

PortScope 1.0.5

New

• System notifications (off by default). Turn them on in Settings ▸ Notifications and pick what you want: devices connecting or leaving, cable warnings, link errors and overcurrent, power adapter changes, an adapter too weak to charge, a drive running hot, a finished speed test, and new releases.
• Automatic update check (off by default) in Settings ▸ About.
• Reference intro: a short card the first time you open the Reference page, with a "Don't show this again" box.
• Speed Test keeps your Mac awake during a run, clears leftover test files from crashed runs, and warns you when you're on battery.
• Erase your speed test and cable tester history from Settings ▸ Data. You can also forget saved display names.

Fixed

• A slower device is no longer blamed on the cable. A 5 Gbps drive on a 10 Gbps cable, or a 10 Gbps drive on a 40/80 Gbps cable, is reported as the device being the limit.
• A USB link that hasn't trained no longer shows as if it were up at the connector's rate.
• Cable power ratings now follow the spec (EPR rules and all voltage codes), and long optical cables no longer show a wrong length.
• Two identical cables plugged in together now both record errors.
• Random-write speed no longer includes the final flush.
• A history file that can't be read is set aside instead of being overwritten.
• A server error no longer revokes your license.

Improved

• Settings now has a left sidebar.
• Text is slightly larger, and low-contrast text was fixed for light and dark mode.
• Reference and Help corrected after an accuracy review, including the Cable Tester troubleshooting guide.
• Volume cards in the Speed Test picker show a used-space bar.
• Buy buttons open the checkout page directly, and About links to the Faini Made Software Policy.
