Changelog

All notable changes to Brewwery.

v0.9.5 — Cleanup & Services Streaming

Added

  • Live stdout/stderr progress for service start, stop, and restart actions.
  • Live stdout/stderr progress for confirmed Homebrew cleanup runs.
  • Cancellation and timeout controls for service and cleanup operations.
  • Context-aware progress summaries for package, service, and cleanup work.

Changed

  • Services now use a 5-minute fixed safety timeout.
  • Cleanup now uses a 30-minute fixed safety timeout and still requires preview plus confirmation.
  • Service and cleanup history entries use final streamed output and distinguish cancellation from failure.

Security

  • Service names remain strictly validated before reaching the streaming runner.
  • Cleanup streaming exposes only the fixed brew cleanup operation.
  • No generic command, arbitrary argument, PID, signal, or timeout input is exposed to renderer code.

v0.9.4 — Operation Safety

Added

  • Confirmation-gated cancellation for active install, uninstall, and upgrade operations.
  • Fixed safety timeouts: 15 minutes for uninstall and 45 minutes for install/upgrade.
  • Dedicated cancelled and timed-out progress states with readable status messaging.
  • Cancelled operation status, filter, count, and neutral toast in History.

Changed

  • Only one streaming mutating Homebrew operation can run per renderer at a time.
  • Active child processes are stopped if their owner window is destroyed.
  • Cancel requests are scoped to an active operation ID owned by the requesting renderer.

Security

  • Cancellation does not expose PID access, arbitrary signals, or generic process control to the renderer.
  • Existing shell: false, command allowlists, validation, and confirmation requirements remain intact.

v0.9.3 — Stability & Error Recovery

Added

  • Retry actions for formulae, casks, updates, services, cleanup preview, and doctor error states.
  • Thirteen Rust unit tests covering Homebrew JSON normalization, parsers, and identifier validation.
  • napi-rs test configuration that allows Rust tests to run without a Node host.

Changed

  • Streaming install, uninstall, and upgrade output is bounded in both Electron main and renderer memory.
  • Large live logs preserve useful beginning and ending sections with a visible trim marker.
  • Known issues now distinguish external release constraints from actionable engineering follow-ups.

Security

  • Formula, cask, search, and service validation now have regression tests for rejected shell metacharacters and invalid identifiers.
  • No new command, IPC, telemetry, account, cloud, paid, or sudo surface was added.

v0.9.2 — RC QA Fixes

Added

  • Settings Check Homebrew action for explicit brew update with confirmation
  • Discover collection summary for installed, favorite, available, and total packages

Fixed

  • Package detail drawer now scrolls internally, so lower actions and raw details remain reachable
  • Search installed status now uses a green installed badge instead of muted text
  • Tapped formula identifiers containing / are accepted for package info, install, uninstall, and upgrade
  • Favorite buttons update immediately after toggling
  • Tray menu no longer shows a disabled app-name item and uses Settings instead of Open Terminal

Security

  • brew update remains confirmation-gated
  • Formula slash support still rejects spaces, shell metacharacters, leading/trailing slashes, repeated slashes, redirection characters, and newlines
