RepoZ v3.1 Release Notes
Release Date: 2018-05-25 // almost 6 years ago-
Final(ly) on Mac
🍎 25 days have passed since RepoZ had it's comeback to macOS as preview build. Now, I am proud to announce that RepoZ made it to a stable build for both: Windows and macOS.
⚡️ The Windows version was updated to match the popup-like nature of the Mac app, so there's no close button anymore. Instead it got a search box as the Mac app did from the beginning. As a popup, the window will hide itself once it loses focus so there's no need to minimize or close the window anymore.
💻
⚡️ In addition, both versions can now be used with the keyboard. And they can check for updates automatically (however they will just give you a hint, so you stay in control).
💅 Both apps were slightly polished and show an "empty hint" as long as there are no repositories to track. This comes with the biggest change for Windows users: RepoZ won't scan the hard drives automatically on startup anymore. That caused much IO load on machines with lots of and/or big HDDs. Instead, the persistent repository cache was improved and the trigger to scan for repositories has to be given by the user manually. I expect you to not trigger that very often since new repositories are detected on git-clone or while switching or checking out branches automatically.
💻 One last thing: As a result of the keyboard-optimization, there are hotkeys now to open the RepoZ UI.
🏁 For Windows, use Ctrl+Alt+R. On Mac it's Command+Alt+R. However on Mac you need to give RepoZ access to the keyboard events in the system privacy settings. Once you have done this, you might need to restart the app.
