What's new in 0.8.3
Fixed
- Updating a plugin now replaces an existing administrator-owned VST3, Audio Unit, AAX, or CLAP installation without failing on macOS's trusted
/varsystem alias. - Failed multi-format replacements still restore the complete previous plugin set. Weather Station never reports the new version until the installed files and ownership receipts converge.
- After a complete app restart, an externally installed current plugin is detected at its installed version instead of prompting for an unnecessary rebuild or reinstall.
Security
- The privileged helper admits only the exact macOS
/varalias before opening every remaining transaction and backup path component with no-follow descriptor traversal. Arbitrary ancestor and target-parent symlinks, unsafe ownership, and writable target parents remain blocked before copied bytes are created.
Changed
- An app-only update from 0.8.2 now shows the existing repair notice until the current signed PKG installs the fixed helper. Running that PKG preserves Weather Station settings, License receipts, downloads, and installed plugins.
