What's New in 1.2.0
Homebrew Services
- Start, stop and restart background services - postgresql, redis, nginx and more - from a new Services window (Tools -> Services...). Services registered by another user are shown read-only with a sudo hint instead of failing.
Menu bar
- Tappie now lives in the menu bar with a badge showing how many packages have updates. Upgrade everything, re-check for updates, or jump straight to a package without opening the main window. Turn it off in Settings -> General.
