- A network port kept a machine it had connected to after the connection was removed, listed it as on the network whenever its host advertised any session, and could not connect to it again: Connect resolved identifiers only among advertised sessions and failed with "no peer named". A machine remembered only for a connection is now dropped once no network port uses it, an untrusted machine is marked present only by a session at its exact address, and Connect resolves remembered machines by identifier or name.
- A network port invited the one address it had connected to until it answered, so a session that came back on another port was never reached. The session name advertised at a machine's address is now stored as advertised_as in the configuration, and while the link is down the port connects where that session is advertised and stores the new address. A machine carrying MIDI is never moved.
- Each daemon now holds an Ed25519 key in identity.key beside the configuration and publishes mhkey and mhport in every session's TXT record. Two packets on the control port, a challenge and a signed proof, let a network port prove which port of which daemon it is. A machine stored with a proved key and port_id is followed under any name and to another host, with its trust, and a port deleted and made again is not followed. The challenge is sent only to a session that advertises a key, so no other RTP-MIDI implementation receives it.
- A machine with no key is followed by name to a new port on its host, and to another host only when it is not trusted, since an advertisement proves nothing and trust is held by host.
- An invitation over an IPv6 link-local address was never answered, because the sender's address was kept without its scope. Apple's Network MIDI invites that way and reported that the port did not respond. The address is now kept whole for the control and data ports.
- Adds ed25519-dalek and hex. The packet fuzz target reads the new packets.
- The violet strand, which stands for network ports, had no glow while the cyan one did, so the two halves of the icon read as different weights; each strand now carries a glow of its own colour.
- The five MIDI pins glow cyan in place of the dimmer shadow they had, clipped to the inside of the socket so the glow does not spill over the anchor's ring.
- The macOS and Windows icon files are rendered again from the new drawing. The menu bar icon is the anchor's outline alone, which did not change.
- The Docker release build gave up on Apple's notary service after rcodesign's default ten minutes, which failed the release and left the app and disk image unnotarized, so Gatekeeper rejected the download until the user allowed it in Privacy & Security.
- Apple holds a team's first submissions for longer; the build now waits up to an hour for the verdict before stapling.
- The interface moves from 87ab8179 to libcosmic master of 2026-09-24, which brings its newer winit and accesskit forks and upstream's menu, context-menu and maximized-window fixes.
- The accesskit_winit build failure newer libcosmic has on Windows does not reach this build: macOS and Windows disable libcosmic's default features, a11y with them, so no accesskit crate compiles there. Enabling a11y on Windows would need a patched accesskit, as the pin's comment notes.
- The lock keeps gpu-allocator on windows 0.62.2, the version wgpu-hal 28.0.1 passes it; the update had re-resolved it to an older windows, breaking the Windows build with mismatched Direct3D types, and a later cargo update can do so again.
- Releases now include Midi-Harbor-<version>-<x86_64|aarch64>.AppImage, built from the same binary as the packages and listed in checksums.txt, for distributions without a .deb or .rpm. Opened with no arguments it shows the window, and the daemon it registers runs under the systemd user unit like a package install.
- service install run from an AppImage registers the .AppImage file instead of the executable inside the runtime's temporary mount, which is gone once the process exits. The file is used only when the running executable is inside APPDIR, so a program started from another AppImage, whose APPIMAGE it inherits, still registers itself.
- The AppImage carries only the Avahi client libraries from the Debian 12 sysroot, with their LGPL-2.1 license, found through the binary's RUNPATH rather than LD_LIBRARY_PATH; glibc 2.35 or newer, ALSA, D-Bus and libxkbcommon come from the host, as for the packages.
- Its AppRun starts the binary as midi-harbor, so on X11 the window's class matches the desktop entry instead of the AppImage's file name.
- Building it needs the cross image's new patchelf, file, appimagetool 1.9.1 and type2 runtime 20251108, pinned by checksum, and a sysroot rebuilt to carry Avahi's license; the script stops and names make build-sysroot when that license is missing.
- The window never had a title, so taskbars and window lists showed it as untitled on every Linux desktop; it is now titled "Midi Harbor". The header draws its own title, which is why it went unnoticed.
- On X11 the window's class comes from argv[0], because the pinned libcosmic replaces its X11 window attributes with its Wayland ones. The desktop entry's StartupWMClass is now midi-harbor, the class a package install gets, so X11 taskbars match the window to its entry and icon; Wayland still pairs by the application ID.
- The systemd user unit now has an ExecStop that sends SIGTERM to the main process and waits for it to exit; only then does systemd signal whatever else remains in the unit.
- By default systemd signalled every process in the unit at once. Run from an AppImage, that included the runtime serving the daemon's executable, which unmounted while the daemon was still shutting down: every stop and logout ended in SIGBUS and a core dump before held notes were released.
- A daemon installed from a package is alone in its unit and stops as before. Existing registrations gain the ExecStop when service install is run again.
- The specs index no longer carries a table mapping the three original spec names to the renumbered ones, and spec headers no longer record a feature branch or "first written as" name.
- A task that pointed at research under the old 001 directory now points at its current path, so every reference resolves to a spec that exists.
- The constitution's 1.4.1 amendment still records that the specs were split and renumbered, without listing the retired names.
- App Store Connect refused the package with error 91109 because the embedded provisioning profile kept the com.apple.quarantine attribute the browser set when it was downloaded.
- Every extended attribute is now cleared from the app before it is signed, so no file copied into the bundle can carry quarantine into the package; com.apple.provenance, which macOS sets on every file and which cannot be cleared, remains.
- The App Store variant was only signed ad hoc to run locally, so nothing it produced could be submitted; with a Mac App Store Connect provisioning profile in .signing/app-store.provisionprofile it now embeds the profile, adds the profile's App ID and team to the app's entitlements, signs both executables with the keychain's Apple Distribution identity, and wraps the app in an installer package signed with Mac Installer Distribution.
- A profile whose App ID is not the bundle's is refused, and a missing distribution or installer certificate stops the build rather than producing an unsubmittable package.
- CFBundleVersion becomes the build's UTC time to the minute, since App Store Connect rejects a build number it has seen, while CFBundleShortVersionString stays VERSION; ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption is false, as the build's only cryptography is hashing and random numbers.
- The bundled daemon keeps only the sandbox and inherit entitlements, which a helper inheriting its parent's sandbox requires.
- Without a profile the variant builds as before, ad hoc or with MIDI_HARBOR_SIGNING_IDENTITY, to run on the building Mac.
