Changelog

Every notable ascdir release, from new capabilities to fixes and security improvements.

Releases follow Semantic Versioning and are documented using Keep a Changelog.

1.2.1 - 2026-08-20

Fixed

• Accept GoReleaser's documented CHANGELOG.md, LICENSE, and README.md archive files while continuing to reject unexpected paths and non-regular executable payloads in the checksum-verifying installer.

1.2.0 - 2026-08-20

Added

• Add read-only app-store status and testflight status commands with stable JSON output for release automation.
• Add planned, explicitly confirmed App Store submission and manual-release commands with retry-safe state detection.
• Add idempotent TestFlight distribution to existing internal and external groups, including Beta App Review submission when required.

Changed

• Clarify the shortest recurring release workflow and separate supported advanced resources from deliberate product boundaries.
• Cancel superseded CI runs, bound jobs with timeouts, and verify that committed Go module files remain tidy.

Fixed

• Never retry resource-creating or deleting requests after rate-limit or server responses, avoiding ambiguous duplicate mutations.

1.1.4 - 2026-08-19

Added

• Publish signed GitHub build provenance for release archives and document how to verify it.
• Exercise the checksum-verifying installer end to end in CI with safe and malicious archive fixtures.

Fixed

• Isolate credential tests from real user configuration directories on every supported OS.
• Keep pulled assets inside dedicated managed roots, reject unsafe filenames and symlinks, and prevent configuration or metadata path collisions.
• Reject missing asset directories instead of treating them as an intentional empty set, and require confirmation before pull removes local assets.
• Validate downloaded asset checksums and metadata UTF-8, clean up failed App Preview downloads, and roll back multi-file pull failures.
• Preserve nested YAML comments and support init --config paths whose parent directories do not exist yet.
• Wait for screenshot and App Preview processing to complete before replacing existing assets, surface Apple delivery failures, detect filename-only renames, and reject files changed during upload.
• Reject malformed or oversized App Preview containers and invalid poster-frame mappings before contacting App Store Connect.
• Use a 10-minute default HTTP timeout so large App Preview transfers are not limited to 30 seconds.
• Validate complete push plans, including dry runs, before any App Store Connect mutation.
• Handle App Info and App Store Version state mappings, draft accessibility declarations, and first-time availability and pricing resources correctly.
• Require names for new App Info localizations and resolve bundle-ID-only configurations for price-points.
• Show unambiguous availability, pricing, and asset diffs and protect sensitive age-rating changes.
• Register generated Zsh completion scripts when sourced instead of executing the completion function immediately.
• Shell-quote configuration paths in the commands printed after init.

Changed

• Require the release workflow to pass the same formatting, race, coverage, vet, static-analysis, workflow, and vulnerability checks as pull requests before publishing artifacts.
• Reject release archives containing unexpected paths or non-regular installer payloads.
• Document best-effort security support for the latest release without promising fixed response or resolution times.

1.1.3 - 2026-08-19

Added

• Add a safe minimal configuration example for first-time setup.

Changed

• Group empty managed fields by location after init, reduce repeated generated comments, and guide users through validation and the first dry run.

1.1.2 - 2026-08-19

Fixed

• Generate privacy_policy.md only for newly initialized tvOS projects while preserving existing configurations that manage the field explicitly.

Changed

• Clarify that long-form .md files are sent to App Store Connect as plain text.
• Document text metadata lifecycle, troubleshooting, supported release platforms, and additional installation methods.

1.1.1 - 2026-08-19

Fixed

• Preserve local screenshot and App Preview file paths while associating new asset sets with their version localization.
• Create missing localization resources before uploading their product-page assets.
• Clean up reserved assets after failed uploads or ordering requests.
• Bound App Preview downloads to prevent unbounded temporary-file growth.

Changed

• Document partial-application recovery when App Store Connect rejects a later request in a multi-resource push.

1.1.0 - 2026-08-19

Added

• Manage version copyright and the app accessibility URL as optional YAML values.
• Manage the app content rights declaration as an optional YAML value.
• Manage primary, secondary, Games, and Stickers App Store categories in YAML.
• Manage the complete App Store age rating declaration, including Made for Kids, with explicit confirmation for potentially irreversible changes.
• Manage Accessibility Nutrition Label declarations per device family, including explicit publication safeguards.
• Manage custom end-user license agreement text and its applicable territories.
• Upload, order, replace, and remove localized App Store screenshots with explicit deletion safeguards.
• Upload, order, replace, and remove localized App Preview videos, including optional poster-frame timecodes, with explicit deletion safeguards.
• Manage territory availability, release dates, and preorder settings with explicit confirmation for availability changes.
• Look up App Store price points and manage base-territory pricing schedules with explicit confirmation for commercial changes.

Changed

• Store short localized values directly in version 2 YAML configurations while keeping long-form content in Markdown files.
• Keep version 1 file-per-field configurations fully supported.
• Preserve YAML comments and key order when pulling inline values.
• Validate App Store keywords against Apple's 100-byte limit.
