1.8.0

Changes:

• Undoes the changes in 1.7.0.
• Created in the context of mu-editor/pup#155 to help diagnose it.

PS: The non 1.8.0 MSI files are actually the same payload with different PEP 440 and MSI versioning meta-data.

1.7.0

Changes:

• Bundles a hello.txt file and displays it.
• Created in the context of mu-editor/pup#155 to help diagnose it.

1.4.0

Changes:

• Now includes a Load and Save button:
  • Loading reads up to 128 bytes from the selected file.
  • Saving writes a fixed payload to the selected file (which will be overwritten, if it exists!).
• Allows testing reading and writing from/to arbitrary file locations.
• Supports testing the behaviour of pup-packaged, signed, and notarized applications on macOS.

1.3.0

Changes:

• Now able to connect and interact with a BBC micro:bit via USB serial:
  • Detects serial ports on startup.
  • Allows the selection of one serial port: on selection, it is opened and a CTRL-C (0x02) ASCII byte is sent.
  • Continuously reads from the serial port, showing micropython's output.
  • Allows sending single line commands, thus supporting basic micropython REPL interaction.
• No longer includes the big Quit button: close the window to do that!
• Fully packaged, signed, notarized with pup -- the distributable .zip file was hand created.

Motivation:

• Understand whether or not pup packaged applications can use serial ports on macOS Catalina.

1.2.0

Changes:

• Now includes a bundled logo.
• Packaged with a more recent pup commit that implements cleaning up + signing.
• Notarization was still hand-driven.

1.1.0

Changes:

• Now includes a "text area" showing the values of os.getcwd() and sys.path.

1.0.0

The first hand-signed and -notarized macOS release.

• puppy-1.0.0-macos.zip will probably not work (see this comment).
• puppy-1.0.0-macos-post1.zip may work (given these notes).
