Release Notes

• FIXED Reduced the app size (Mac: 65.7 MB → 29.6 MB / iOS: 40.3 MB → 22.9 MB)
  • Since RedirectWeb 10.3.0, the app size has increased a lot. This was caused by a dependency that we use to verify purchases. It introduced additional dependencies to improve portability, and that's the main cause of this issue. For now, we've downgraded it to a stable version.
  • Removed many unused or redundant translations.
  • Removed unused code.

• FIXED Improved redirect stability when an error page is the source of a redirect.
• FIXED [Pro] Fixed an issue where the data migration dialog for RedirectWeb → RedirectWeb Pro was shown even when RedirectWeb was not installed.

• FIXED Lack of information in the connection diagnostic reports introduced in version 10.4.2.

• FIXED Requests between the extension and the app could hang while waiting for a response, among other messaging bugs.
• FIXED Unreliable redirects.
• FIXED The app could crash when opening a page with a specific character in its title. Currently, the app doesn't check page titles. However, to decide whether to redirect, the extension sends a summary of the open tab to the app's native code. The code that converts this data for the native side mishandled the text, causing the app to crash. (This seems to be a Safari bug, and we've added this fix as a workaround.)
• ADDED Connection diagnostic reports. You can start recording and copy the report from the ellipsis menu in the extension popup.

The crash bugs and the redirection issues were reported by users. Thank you very much for your help! 🙇

• FIXED Deeplink-opening page always closes its tab after cancelling/opening deeplinks (#122) Thank you so much for your help, @Tokarak! 🙇

• Added new capturing group processing types. (#119) You can now choose from the following options:
  • Lowercase
  • Uppercase
  • Capitalize Words
  • Uppercase First Character
  • Lowercase First Character
• [macOS] Fixed an issue where the Back button sometimes could not return to the previous page after a rule opened another app. (#52)
• Fixed an issue where going back after a redirect could land on the original page and redirect you again.
• DNR rules now also work when a site changes pages without reloading, such as when you click a video on YouTube.
  • Browsers apply DNR rules to network requests, so an in-page transition normally may not trigger them. That was counterintuitive for RedirectWeb users, so the extension now handles these transitions too.
• [macOS] Added a shooting star animation when you click the Get button in the Library, as in the iOS version. 💫
• Other minor bug fixes and performance improvements.

• [iOS] Added Liquid Glass support.
• Redesigned Quick Look previews for .redirectweb files.
• Fixed an issue where .redirectweb files exported from RedirectWeb Pro could not be imported.
• Fixed an issue where paused rules were unexpectedly resumed after restarting the device.
• [MDM] Fixed an issue where enforced rules were not correctly reflected in RedirectWeb Pro.
• Other minor bug fixes and performance improvements.

• Browser Extensions
  • [Mac] FIXED: Redirecting to an app by selecting the Application option in a rule was not working. (discussions#114)
  • FIXED: RedirectWeb's app icons were not displayed correctly on the app-opening page and the error page.

The first issue was reported by @tpeacock-vssl. Thank you very much for your help! 🙇

• Browser Extensions
  • Fixed an issue where DNR rules stopped working after modifying another rule.
    • For example, suppose there are 2 enabled DNR rules, A and B. When launching the browser, they both work as expected. However, once A is disabled or its title is modified, B also stops working until the browser is restarted.
    • This was caused by an issue in RedirectWeb's internal rule update logic. We apologize for the inconvenience.
• App
  • Improved the dark mode UI visibility.
  • Fixed a typo in the Paywall screen.

The DNR issue and the typo were both reported by users. Thank you very much for your cooperation! 🙇

This version is for RedirectWeb Pro on macOS only.

It includes a fix for the issue where the app bundle name was incorrect. It used to be RedirectWeb.app but now it's RedirectWeb Pro.app.

This is a follow-up to version 10.2.0 for RedirectWeb Pro on macOS.
