What is new in browbro 0.1.7
**BrowBro is now signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple.** Download the DMG, drag it to Applications, and it opens — no "unidentified developer" block, no trip through System Settings, no Terminal incantation. macOS will ask once for permission to read other apps' data; that's how BrowBro finds your Chrome profiles. It asks again even if you'd already granted it, because the app now carries a different signing identity. Existing installs update in place from **Settings → Updates**. ## What's Changed * chore: release v0.1.0 by @tiagomoraes in https://github.com/tiagomoraes/browbro/pull/6 * chore: release v0.1.1 by @tiagomoraes in https://github.com/tiagomoraes/browbro/pull/9 * chore: release v0.1.2 by @tiagomoraes in https://github.com/tiagomoraes/browbro/pull/11 * chore: release v0.1.3 — in-app support + Settings window fixes by @tiagomoraes in https://github.com/tiagomoraes/browbro/pull/22 * chore: release v0.1.4 — in-app updates (Sparkle) + Settings version indicator by @tiagomoraes in https://github.com/tiagomoraes/browbro/pull/25 * chore: release v0.1.5 by @tiagomoraes in https://github.com/tiagomoraes/browbro/pull/27 * chore: release v0.1.6 by @tiagomoraes in https://github.com/tiagomoraes/browbro/pull/30 * chore: back-merge release v0.1.6 into develop by @tiagomoraes in https://github.com/tiagomoraes/browbro/pull/31 …
