Catalog App 1.12.0

Catalog App 1.12.0 introduces automatic self-updates, together with more reliable update detection and a round of security and stability fixes.

⚡ Improved

• App Catalog keeps itself up to date automatically, regardless of your update configuration, so it can never get stuck on an old version.

• Automatic updates now run by default when no update interval is configured. If you have never set UpdateInterval and do not want automatic updates, set it to 0 to opt out.

• More reliable version comparison. Apps with unusual version numbers (for example a build suffix in parentheses) are no longer incorrectly flagged as needing an update.

• Cleaner command-line output for administrators running App Catalog from the terminal.

🔧 Fixed

• Security hardening. Closed a local privilege-escalation path in the background agent and restricted its internal service to signed App Catalog components only.

• A transient network or backend issue no longer interrupts the scheduled update run.

• A missing version date, or a single problematic app, no longer stalls or aborts an update run.

• Removed a legacy version-reporting mechanism that could, in rare cases, freeze the background agent.

• App versions are now read without a private system API, improving long-term compatibility.
