- 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 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.
