Crona 1.0.0-beta.5

Crona for macOS v1.0.0-beta.5

Crona for macOS v1.0.0-beta.5 tightens the last visible release edges around Dock behavior and installer presentation, while carrying forward the daemon recovery and popup polish from the previous beta.

Highlights

• Crona can now return to menu-bar-only mode after the Settings window closes, controlled by a new General preference.
• The release DMG now opens with a quieter terminal-like background and a curated drag-to-Applications Finder layout.
• The dock-hiding behavior now follows a single activation-policy path instead of relying on scattered window-close transitions.

Added

• A General setting to hide Crona from the Dock when no app window is open.
• A DMG background asset and Finder layout preparation script used by the release workflow.

Changed

• Release packaging now builds a staged DMG, applies Finder presentation, and then converts it to the final distributable image.
• The DMG background now follows a restrained terminal-like utility aesthetic instead of a more ornamental presentation.

Fixed

• Beta builds no longer stay in the Dock after the Settings window closes when Dock hiding is enabled.

Compatibility

• The release remains on the 1.0.0 beta line and should be tagged as v1.0.0-beta.5.
• The Apple marketing version stays 1.0.0; the build number increases to 5 for appcast ordering.
