What’s New in Snaps Of Apps 1.11

🌐Localization (macOS 13+)

Runtime localization via Locales.bundle on macOS 13 and later. Languages included: English, Simplified Chinese (zh‑Hans), German, French, Spanish, Japanese.
Base‑only on macOS 10.15–12 by design: the app remains English to preserve Catalina compatibility.
App strings routed through L(…) across menus, dialogs, preferences, and Snap Bar tooltips.
Help panel localized: window title localized; loads help.html from Locales.bundle when present.
Language override (13+): opt‑in by setting AppLanguage (e.g., defaults write com.dit.SnapsOfApps AppLanguage fr).

Snap Bar — A floating, auto‑hiding icon palette for one‑click snapping with localized tooltips.
Snap Tiling — A comprehensive set of rectangular presets (halves, thirds, quarters, sixths) and grid presets (1×2, 2×2, 3×3, 6×4, 8×2) for fast placement.
Drag to Snap — Drag any window to highlight target regions and snap on release for fluid tiling with optional live resize.
Snap Foremost — Always targets the frontmost window so you don’t accidentally move background windows.

Drag‑to‑snap alignment: highlight and final snap now match the selected rectangular preset consistently across displays.
Smoother selection: center‑based target with small hysteresis reduces flicker at tile borders.
Optional live resize during drag (throttled) and “assume tile size” behavior for easier corner/small tile targets.
Overlay metrics match applied tiles for pixel‑accurate visuals; verify‑and‑nudge removes stray 1px gaps.
Snap Bar polish: localized tooltips, auto‑hide tuning, and a convenient reset control.

Halves: Left Half, Right Half, Top Half, Bottom Half
Corners (Quadrants): Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right
Thirds: Left Third, Middle Third, Right Third
Two‑Thirds: Left Two Thirds, Right Two Thirds
Centered Widths: Center Half, Center Two Thirds, Center Three Fourths, Center
Quarter Stripes (vertical across full height): First Quarter, Second Quarter, Third Quarter, Last Quarter
Three‑Quarter Stripes: First Three Quarters, Last Three Quarters
Sixths (3×2): Top Left Sixth, Top Center Sixth, Top Right Sixth, Bottom Left Sixth, Bottom Center Sixth, Bottom Right Sixth
Full‑Screen Variants: Full‑Screen, Almost Full‑Screen, Full‑Screen Height
macOS Native Full Screen: macOS Full Screen, macOS Full Screen + Left Half, macOS Full Screen + Right Half
Grid Presets: 1×2, 1×3, 2×1, 3×1, 2×2, 3×3, 4×4, 6×4, 8×2
Move to Edge: Move Left, Move Right, Move Up, Move Down

“Maximize” labels clarified as Full‑Screen (fills visible screen, not native macOS full screen) throughout menus and preferences.
Quit %@ menu item now localized with your app name.
Accessibility and System Events permission prompts localized.

Fixed mismatch between drag highlight and the actually applied tile on release.
Reduced drag jitter by avoiding premature rounding while tracking live window rects.
Eliminated edge‑case 1px gaps via post‑move verification and nudging.
Resolved minor menu label inconsistencies; tooltips and menu titles now fully localized.

LocalizationManager and L.swift provide a single routing path for localized strings via Locales.bundle.
Post‑build script: embeds Locales.bundle, removes invalid /usr/lib/swift rpath, and prunes libswift_Concurrency.dylib for Catalina‑safe builds.
Gumroad license decoding hardened: custom_fields parsing and clearer error messages; “Buy Now” opens with current machine identifier prefilled.
License hardware lock (compatibility): added dual machine‑ID support — validates against new IOPlatformUUID and legacy NIC MAC fallback, and migrates stored Mac_ID to the new format when a legacy match is detected.

macOS 10.15+ — All snapping features continue to work; localization intentionally appears only on macOS 13+.
No data migration required; existing snapshots and preferences continue to function. Stored license Mac_ID is auto‑recognized via legacy or new ID and upgraded silently when applicable.

Tip: On macOS 13+, you can preview languages by setting AppLanguage to a code like fr or zh-Hans and relaunching.

Version: 1.11
Release Date: October 28, 2025
Minimum System: macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and later
Highlights: New Snap Bar, Snap Tiling, Drag to Snap, Snap Foremost; Localization (13+); Catalina build compatibility

No migration steps needed. On macOS 13+, UI language follows the system by default (or your optional AppLanguage override).
Snapping preferences remain compatible; new drag options are available in Preferences if enabled for your build.
