Compatibility

Upgrading to v0.2.0 should be fine for users using macOS Monterey or later. If you are on macOS Big Sur, you can stay at v0.1.0 or build v0.2.0 by yourself (v0.2.0 itself should run on macOS Big Sur if you build it yourself).

Compability

Upgrading to v0.2.0 should be fine for most users. However, the prebuilt version of v0.2.0 requires macOS Monterey or later to run. v0.2.0 itself should run on macOS Big Sur if you build it yourself. So if you are on macOS Big Sur, you can stay at v0.1.0 or build v0.2.0 by yourself.

Notes

Currently, batt is known to be fairly stable now. So here we are, the first non-beta release. This release focuses on stability so several new features will not be included in this release because they are not considered to be well-tested. If you want the latest features, you can try the upcoming beta releases.

If you encounter any problem, please post it on GitHub Issues so I can help. You can find logs from /tmp/batt.log. I appreciate your input.

batt daemon have its log levels set to debug for easy debugging so you may find a lot of logs. You can truncate it and only keep the useful parts before reporting.

Changelog

• chore: more accurate description about the battery voltage by @charlie0129 in a070c0a
• chore: make before-sleep delay longer by @charlie0129 in 4f2b2f0
• chore: show git commit info on daemon start by @charlie0129 in 8e7679c
• fix: make sure sleep lasts across system sleeps by @charlie0129 in 581999a
• chore: improve logs by @charlie0129 in 235c7e4
• feat: make status more human-readable by @charlie0129 in ff2a4e5
• fix: delay maintain loop after waking up to fix some rare cases where the charge limit may stop by @charlie0129 in 3474ac0
• fix: always use --allow-non-root-access flag value instead of config value when installing by @charlie0129 in a9d7557

Notes

This is a beta release. Although I have tested and verified most features on my own Mac, this doesn't mean they will work on other computers. Since we will typically only charge MacBooks less than once per day, it becomes particularly hard to test edge cases. Therefore, rather extensive testing is required before batt can be marked as production-ready.
