Overamped version 1.2.0

Release Notes

Support for the Overamped Install Checker has been added, enabling a method of automatically checking if the Safari Extension is enabled and setup correctly.

The new install checker can be found in the About tab.

Pull request Support watchOS on Quick/Quick

This is a counterpart to https://github.com/Quick/Nimble/pull/916, which added support for watchOS to Nimble.

Note that this is a draft until a new version of Nimble is released with watchOS support. Until then this points at main.

I'm also not sure if the tests will run on CI correctly because the tests require watchOS 7.4 to run and I'm not sure what version of watchOS the simulators are configured with.

I also found that the tests weren't compiling (using Xcode 13.2.1) so I've updated these too.

Don't Use Scope Modifiers with Extensions

Extending types in Swift support setting the scope for the extension, i.e. public, internal, or private, with internal being implicit if nothing is specified.

This may seem useful, but given the following snippet it's impossible to know what the scope of a function is:

func doSomething() {
    // Do the thing
}

Overamped version 1.1.0

Release Notes

A new option in the Settings allows for a notification to be posted whenever Overamped redirects an AMP or Yandex Turbo page in Safari.

A new screen has been added under Advanced Statistics that displays each event that has occurred and allows for the deletion of individual events.

The permissions model has been simplified. The "Other Websites" will now be the only option shown when first installing the extension.

Overamped 1.1.0 and the Year of Small

So far my Year of Small is going really well; as I write this I'm making some final changes and preparing to push out v1.1.0-RC.1, which I hope to submit the App Store in the next couple of days.

Overamped 1.1.0 is an update I first started working on almost 3 months ago, and it should've been released earlier.

My initial plan for 1.1.0 was to:

  • Add a screen showing recently logged events
  • Add an option to send a notification when the Web Extension redirects a link
  • Simplify the permissions model
  • Add widgets

Easy, right? Well, adding widgets is why this update has been so delayed.
