Patch Notes

Versions and changes for RiffBlock.

Version 1.0.020 changes1.0.0 · Build 3 · Development notesChanges since build 2 focus on more reliable Safari setup, flexible protection profiles, signed corrections and optional iCloud synchronisation. These notes supplement build 2. Its language packs, local backups and original video/player fixes are not presented again as new features. Only the listed settings are synchronised between devices; Safari permissions, protection pauses, issue reports and learned rules remain local.Added6Changed3Improved5Fixed6Show all changesHide changes

Added

  • Three protection profiles: Standard, Strict and Compatibility, with individual adjustments available.
  • Separate controls for newsletter prompts, installation banners, floating ads and known consent overlays.
  • Temporary website pauses for 15 or 60 minutes.
  • Signed correction updates with validation, file import and rollback to a valid previous state.
  • An optional Mac menu bar entry with protection status and quick actions.
  • Optional iCloud synchronisation for profiles, filter switches, language choices, permanent website exceptions and repairs; switched off on new installations.

Changed

  • Setup explains website permission for the additional Safari extension more directly.
  • Enabled, disabled and not yet confirmed Safari extensions are shown separately.
  • Enabling the Mac menu bar entry hides the Dock icon; disabling it restores the icon.

Improved

  • Additional dynamic filters process page areas incrementally, respecting protected content and relevant exceptions.
  • Pausing or disabling protection restores its own page changes while accounting for changes made by the website.
  • Correction updates have their own retry timing and error information, independent of large filter lists.
  • Settings and page assistance use current protection changes more reliably when returning to the foreground.
  • Optional iCloud synchronisation merges independent changes and preserves deletions against older device settings.

Fixed

  • Fixed a macOS startup crash triggered by a Safari status response.
  • Repaired native Safari filter application on Mac by adding the required AppKit linkage.
  • Added a bounded wait and visible failure message when opening Safari settings.
  • Failed or missing Safari responses no longer appear as explicitly disabled protection.
  • Late status and configuration responses cannot overwrite newer states.
  • Improved handling of overlapping website pauses and recovery after failed filter application.
