Release Notes for Xslimmer 1.5.3

Description

Xslimmer 1.5.3 eliminates the need to restart your system after having slimmed signed applications that access the Keychain, thus avoiding the problem of certain apps apparently forgetting their keychain-stored passwords until the next reboot. It also includes a fix for a potential crash that could happen when installing a license containing a malformed date format.

Core slim improvements

  • Signed apps no longer seem to forget their keychain-stored passwords. When slimming signed applications that store passwords in the Keychain, they sometimes seemed to forget them until the next reboot. This was caused by the system caches becoming confused after the application files had been modified. The slim process has been reworked to avoid this effect, so the user should no longer need to reboot after slimming signed apps.
  • Improved fidelity to original app file attributes. The slim process will try to replicate whenever possible the original file attributes, such as modification time stamps, of slimmed files.

Bug fixes

  • Potential crasher fixed. Previous versions of Xslimmer could potentially crash when trying to register a license containing a malformed date format. Such a license has never been issued, so no users have been affected by this bug.
