Overt Beta v0.5.7

Fixed this release:

• #40 – Re-enable periodic catalog rebuilds for brew-cask (brew was clobbering the timestamp for both)

Overt Beta v0.5.6

Fixed this release:

• Top bar is sticky again on package detail pages (minor regression due to refactoring work for CSP)
• #39 – Handle cases where brew info --json=v2 reports "tap": null for casks from homebrew/cask

Overt Beta v0.5.5

New this release:

• #9 – Quick action buttons on package cards

  

Fixed this release:

• #24, part 2 – Finish tightening the Content Security Policy (CSP)

Overt Beta v0.5.4

Fixed this release:

• #30
  • Support Homebrew taps with no remote URL
  • Indexing failures should no longer indefinitely block the next indexing task

Overt Beta v0.5.3

New this release:

• System for showing important Overt news within the app
• #27 – Migrate Overt package from our custom tap repository to homebrew/cask
  • Thanks to Homebrew being smart about cask migrations, no work is required on your part! However, after this update, you can now safely remove our custom tap repository if so desired. See the announcement.

Fixed this release:

• #24 – Stricter Content Security Policy (CSP)

Overt Beta v0.5.2

fastest release in the east

Fixed this release:

• Auto-update dialog:
  • Version number shows correctly
  • "Relaunch" action actually works

Overt Beta v0.5.1

New this release:

• Better size and shading for Overt app icon
• Minor UI tweaks

Fixed this release:

• #25 — Fix catalog build failing on certain edge cases
• Properly bump the version number this time :)

Overt Beta v0.5.0

Even more than last time!

New this release:

• #18 — App icons!!
• #20 — Show when packages were last updated, and allow sorting by most recently updated
• Show app publisher names, when available

These are facilitated by our fancy new package metadata collector. Packages are re-processed after they are updated, so while not all packages have this info yet, they'll get it after they release their next update.

• #5, #6 — Setup screen that helps first-time users set up a package manager (just Homebrew for now)
• #7 — Auto-subscribe to Overt package, and auto-update Overt when a new version is available
  • Can be disabled in Settings, although not really a good idea—Homebrew will continue to auto-update, and older versions of Overt may eventually stop working with the latest Homebrew version
  • This, along with the setup screen, allows confidently offering direct download links!
• #11 — Modifying source repositories triggers a catalog rebuild for affected package managers
• "Launch" action works for apps that come from .pkg installers
• Adjusted font size and spacing again, to work better with app icons
• Much more performant log view (switch to xterm.js WebGL renderer)
• "FYI" text at bottom of package detail view
• New term "catalog source," which is hopefully clearer than "source (repository)"

Fixed this release:

• Building the catalog works again when no unofficial sources have been added
• Ensure "Zap" action is hidden for non-casks
• Esc key does multiple things at once less often
• Back button in package detail view is keyboard-focusable

…whew, enjoy!

and by the way, version 1.0 is on the horizon… 🌄

Overt Beta v0.4.0

Lots of goodies!

New this release:

• Dark theme & Appearance settings
• New layout for the top bar and Settings pane
• The "Install" action can deal with apps already installed from elsewhere
  • If it's exactly the same as Overt's version, it will be adopted automatically (see also Homebrew/brew#14006)
  • Otherwise, you will be to prompted to overwrite the existing app with Overt's version
• Expose "Zap" action to uninstall + trash all caches and preferences (via brew uninstall --zap)
• Configurable catalog auto-rebuild interval (every x days)
• Slightly improved keyboard focusing for accessibility

Fixed this release:

• Indexing a single package properly fetches its analytics data again
• Output is no longer randomly truncated in the Log view

Overt Beta v0.3.4

New this release:

• Building the catalog is about 50% faster – most of it is now downloaded from Homebrew's web API
• Improved keyboard focus interaction after Load More is pressed
