Version surfaces

  • scripts/build.sh now defaults APP_VERSION and the generated app Info.plist to 0.8.0.
  • The redesigned site reads its stable version, release page, and DMG URL from web/data/product.toml. It intentionally remains at the latest published v0.7.2 until v0.8.0 is tagged and its artifacts exist; updating it in this pre-release PR would point visitors at a non-existent download.

Validation

  • Rebased onto main at 7c33336 (fix: remove rectangular overlay glow (#217)).
  • swift test on the rebased head.
  • A signed and notarized PR build is requested after the force-with-lease push, so the test DMG is produced from the exact rebased commit.

Release plan after merge

  1. Tag and push v0.8.0; release.yml builds, signs, notarizes, and creates the draft release.
  2. Use /private/tmp/RELEASE_NOTES_v0.8.0.md as the draft GitHub Release body, then verify its attached artifacts.
  3. Publish the release; the Homebrew tap and website deploy workflows follow publication.
