Updates in 40.4
- Added a
--selectoption, allowing the user to select an installer based on a dialog with a drop-down list of compatible installers. The selected Build is then used. This only works in the default--nativemode (not with--mistor--ffimodes). Note that the user could select an older build than the current system, so this option not recommended for regular users intending to upgrade or erase their device. - Improved the speed of downloading dist files in
--nativemode by parallelising the downloads. jqwill now be installed on macOS 14 or lower if not already present, allowing use of--nativemode on all devices. The appropriate version ofjqfor Intel or Apple Silicon is installed.- Allow the use of
--nativemode on older systems ifjqis present. Note:jqmust be in the path (addresses #561). - Updated dialogs to use a banner with background colour.
- Replaced beta catalog for Tahoe with
"https://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-26-15-14-13-12-10.16-10.15-10.14-10.13-10.12-10.11-10.10-10.9-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.gz". - Added a
--trashoption, which will move invalid installers into the Trash rather than deleting them. This is primarily intended for testing so that the installer isn't removed and has to be downloaded again. Note that the user is prompted to allow the file to be moved into Trash, so it's not suitable for a productive environment. - Added a drive space check to
--nativemode when downloading (#569, thanks @anewhouse).
Bugfixes in 40.4
- Fixed an issue where user language is not respected in the password entry field (addresses #563).
- The
extrasfolder can now be properly overridden (addresses #547). - Fixed obtaining the installer icon when downloading a beta installer, and also when running the script locally without installing the package.
- Improved version comparison when using
--nativeor--pkgmodes so that beta versions are treated as older than production versions (allows upgrade from a beta to a production version). - Processes are now successfully killed if there are multiple processes of the same name. Fixes an issue where
caffeinatewould not be killed if multiplecaffeinateprocesses were running. - Fixed an issue where not all available installers were listed when using
--nativemode.
