Cork 1.5 Out: New package loading and more
Probably the biggest rewrite in history
Before we start, I’m still looking for help fixing this issue:
The bounty for implementing it is 100€
Cork Open Collective
Cork has a page on Open Collective! All proceeds made from it are redistributed among the contributors.
After a few months, we finally have a new update for Cork, due to my quite bad mental health.
Additions
Top packages have descriptions (thanks to Grublady)
Turkish translation (thanks to okturan)
Alerts for misconfigured taps
Errors encountered during package loading are now displayed as a list of errors, with the recommended fix. This means that more than one error at a time can be shown
Optional swipe actions in the sidebar
Fixes
The entire package loading process has been rewritten from scratch, making it much more robust
Pressing Return when adding a tap actually works now
Some packages were missing their compatibility listings in the package definition. This used to break the decoding process, but now, it doesn’t anymore (thanks to Grublady)
Adjustments
Buttons in the toolbar now follow Apple’s semantic placements
Sheets now use the new built-in button and title design
There are probably a lot other additions and fixes I have not mentioned, but this release has been in development for a long time, and I don’t remember everything that I did.
Thank you for your support. I’d really appreciate if you’d spread the word about Cork.
