[ANN] Yojimbo 4.5 (450617) pre-release

[Rich Siegel]

Good afternoon folks,

We're currently working on a feature update to Yojimbo, which
includes a number of new features, as well as fixes for
previously reported issues.

Testing is currently underway, and we have a stable pre-release
version ready for use.

Note that this is a _pre-release_ version. The intent is to fix
bugs and address areas of improvement based on what our
customers have reported. However, since the software is at this
point not fully tested, there _may_ be bugs and regressions.

If this prospect makes you nervous, then sticking with the
public release versions is your best course of action. Nobody
will be offended if you choose to do so; you're under no
obligation to install and use anything but a public release. :-)

Complete change notes to date for all the pre-release builds in
this cycle are available here:

<https://s3.amazonaws.com/BBSW-download/4.5_Notes.txt>

The change notes are organized into additions, changes, and
fixes, and are annotated where appropriate with case numbers. So
if you recognize a number corresponding to a support case that
was opened for you, you can now verify that it's been fixed
correctly. Please take the time to review the changes before
using the new build -- it'll be worth your time.

One final note: If you run into a bug in a pre-release version,
PLEASE DO NOT REPORT THE BUG TO THE LIST. This includes asking
about whether others have seen the same problem. Instead, please
send a bug report to <sup...@barebones.com> and we will deal
with it there. This will help us keep the list discussion on
topic and productive for all list members.

============================================================================

Here is a summary of the changes since the previous pre-release build:

version 4.5 (450617) (2020-04-28)

* Yojimbo 4.5 requires macOS 10.13.6 or later.

Additions
---------

* The Sync preferences display shows the size of the local data
storage. This is strictly approximate, and can help you estimate
the amount of available iCloud storage that you'll need
(which is
roughly equivalent to the local data storage, plus some
indeterminate amount of overhead, so you should by no means
consider this exact).

Changes
-------

o (none in this version)

Fixes
-----

* [NFR] [388302] Made a change to address a symptom in which
an item
which became encrypted between two sync sessions, or an encrypted
item which was edited between two sync sessions, could fail
to sync
thereafter.

* [388726] Fixed bug in which dropping an importable file on the
application in the Finder or Dock to start it would result
in the
application starting without importing the dropped item(s).

Reminder: If you run into a bug in a pre-release version, PLEASE

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they
sedate me.
