Cork 1.7.3 Out: Additions to Adoptable Packages
Additions
Adoptable packages can now have multiple “Adoption Candidates“
For packages that share the same executable (
Zen.appfor both the Zen Browser, and Zen Privacy screen), you can now select which package to adopt the app as. Previously, only the first one in the list was chosen, which led to some weirdness.
This also allows you to choose if you’d like to install a different bound version - for example, a beta or an older version of the package
Adoptable and excluded adoptable packages now have search fields which you can use to filter out adoptable packages
The search field works for:
Adoptable app executables
Cask names
Descriptions
The search field is hidden by default, and you can show it by clicking the magnifying glass button in the list’s header
Fixes
A few small fixes in the app icon, by GenuCoder (#567). Thank you!
Adjustments
None in this release
On Cork’s infrastructure
Especially recently, I started really disliking centralized internet infrastructure. GitHub is mired in its own slew of controversies. I also just dislike the USA.
Which is why in the future, Cork will be moved by my self-hosted code repo at https://code.rikidar.eu (not accessible yet), with a mirror to Codeberg.
More in-depth communication will be moved to a new dedicated self-hosted forum at https://forum.rikidar.eu, and instant communications to also self-hosted chat infrastructure (not available yet). This blog will also move from Substack, to self-hosted Ghost in the future, with no changes to the URL.
Stay tuned for more information, and follow me on Mastodon and Bluesky. You should also join the current Discord community.
