What's new in bare.

v1.0.0 — bare is out

bare 1.0 — pay what you want from $5, one-time, after a 14-day free trial. Everything from the beta, plus a full quality-of-life wave:

• Tabs and split view — files open in tabs, the view splits 50/50, and the Changes diff follows the side you're working in.
• Real multi-window — one folder per window (⌘⇧N); bare remembers your windows, tabs, and split on quit and restores them exactly on relaunch.
• A quit guard — quitting with unsaved edits shows one review dialog: Save All, Discard, or Cancel. bare never quits past a failed save.
• Branch switcher — the header shows your branch; click it to switch. Unsaved files block the switch before git is ever called.
• Right-click everything — native context menus on files and folders: create, rename, Copy and Paste, Reveal in Finder, and Move to Trash (recoverable — bare never permanently deletes).
• A calmer Changes pane — include everything with one tick, and moved files shown as a single row, not a delete plus an add.

v0.1.2 — the first notarised build

The DMG is now Developer ID signed and notarised by Apple — it opens with a plain double-click, no Gatekeeper workaround. This build also brings the whole v1 feature set:

• Safer sync — Pull is fast-forward-only and the header shows ahead/behind counts, so you always know where you stand against the remote.
• Signed update check — bare tells you when a new version is out (the manifest is cryptographically verified) and never installs anything silently.
• A real Mac citizen — native macOS menu bar, redesigned header with workspace actions and branch, collapsible side panes, Push and Pull in the Changes pane.
• Editor polish — gentle Markdown syntax highlighting, ⌘F find in file, ⌘E preview/source toggle, and source editing in the same reading column as the rendered page.
• Tree work — folders-first file tree, collapsed by default, with drag-to-move for files and folders.
• Licensing machinery — this build starts bare's 14-day trial on first launch; buying a licence key arrives with the v1 launch.
• A new mark — the "full stop" app icon.

v0.1.1

• The b. mark arrived: app icon and site favicon.

v0.1.0 — the first public build

The core loop, whole and working:

• Open a Git-backed folder → read Markdown as rendered pages → edit source → save.
• Changed files in a Changes pane with unified diffs → tick files → commit → push.
• Native macOS app driving the git you already have — SSH keys, hooks and remotes unchanged.
