AppAudit 0.4.0-beta.1
beta
July 7, 2026 • Build 14
Summary
This release introduces AppAudit's first user-initiated update-checking flow, improves how new builds hand off to the website, and tightens the main workbench layout so it feels clearer and more usable during regular scans and reviews.
- Manual update checking: AppAudit now includes
Help > Check for Updates…so users can manually check the public AppAudit manifest whenever they want. AppAudit does not poll for updates in the background, and it never downloads anything automatically without user action. - Clearer update handoff: When a newer build is available, AppAudit now shows the available version more clearly and links users to the right website destination, including release notes or the proper update page. Error states such as offline access, site problems, or incomplete release data are also explained more clearly.
- Better tester visibility: Tester and internal licenses can now see a separate tester-build lane when a test manifest is available, while still showing the normal production update result in the same sheet.
- Refined workbench header: The main workbench header has been tightened up with better spacing, stronger left/right grouping, smaller mode controls, and a more balanced search/actions area.
- Better small-window behavior: Panel visibility controls are easier to discover, inventory-only actions stay out of the Home screen, and the layout now behaves more gracefully on smaller or lower-resolution displays.
