Outbound 1.4.3

Public releaseBuild 90

Outbound 1.4.3 fixes the last page of setup: when Finish Setup cannot save your choices, the reason now appears directly above the buttons, and you can click Keep Current Settings and Finish to leave setup without changing any rule or protection setting. Outbound also waits for a filter that is still starting, closes an approval prompt you leave unanswered, and no longer refuses Finish Setup, Undo of setup or Restore Backup because a blocklist update is running. Requires macOS 14 or later.

Fixed

  • On the last page of setup, when Finish Setup could not save your choices, the reason was shown below the visible part of the page, so the button seemed to do nothing. This happened when the Touch ID or password approval was cancelled or the filter was not ready. The reason now appears directly above the buttons, and VoiceOver reads it out.
  • When the approval was cancelled or the filter is still not ready, the page now offers Keep Current Settings and Finish. It leaves setup without changing any rule or protection setting (only the performance and sound choices from setup are kept), and you can change them later in Settings.
  • Keeping your current settings no longer needs the filter to be ready, and it asks for no approval, because it changes no rule or protection setting.
  • If the filter is still starting when you click Finish Setup, Outbound now waits a few seconds and tries again by itself instead of refusing at once.
  • While Outbound waits for you to approve with Touch ID or your password, the page now says so: “Waiting for your approval. Answer the Touch ID or password prompt to continue.” An approval prompt that is left unanswered now closes by itself after about ten minutes, and it closes when the Outbound window quits, so a forgotten prompt can no longer make every later attempt fail with “Another approval is in progress”.
  • Finish Setup, Undo of setup and Restore Backup could be refused until the Mac restarted when a blocklist update was running in the background, or after the window had quit at the wrong moment. Outbound now waits at most 90 seconds for the update, says “A blocklist update is still finishing. Try again in a minute.” and works on the next try.
