TinkerTool System for Mac

• As Apple has now released the official manuals and support documentation for macOS Sequoia, all links in the quick-help feature could be updated and adjusted accordingly.
• The Uninstallation Assistant now also deletes the user’s corresponding list of recent documents when removing an application.
• Added a workaround for an internal issue of macOS Sequoia which could prevent the Logs feature from opening archived copies of the macOS log database.
• The feature to modify the user’s POSIX permission filter is now supported again when the application detects an operating system version which is capable of providing this feature reliably.
• The term “Apple Account” has been updated in the reference manuals.
• Fixed a problem where the feature to delete a selected Time Machine snapshot from APFS media confirmed a successful removal when actually no operation was performed.

Release 9.0 (Build 240916)

• Added full support for macOS 15 Sequoia.
• More than 1,000 internal changes to optimize for macOS 15.
• The timing behavior when accessing values from the Open Directory database has been changed. The ensures better performance and avoids possible deadlocks with slow database connections.
• Fixed a problem where some state designations for certain configuration settings could be shown in English instead of the language selected by the user.
• Fixed a problem where changing the default user name for network logins did not work as expected.
• The features to modify the permissions filter for new file system objects and to rebuild the Launch Services database have been made invisible at the moment, because the first versions of macOS Sequoia don’t run stable enough to support this. These items can hopefully re-appear at a later time.
• The features to compute change statistics, local file deletion and log retrieval for old Time Machine backups created on HFS+ volumes have been removed, because they are no longer supported by macOS 15.
• The diagnostic feature to test for specific defects of copy operations via the macOS Finder have been removed because new defects can have an impact on old ones, making the results less meaningful. Apple did not fix these issues in the last 14 years.
• The feature to reset a hanging macOS software update request had to be removed because it was blocked by Apple.
• The following features have been removed because they no longer make sense with macOS 15, or the necessary system components are no longer present in Sequoia:
• Removing invalid keychain entries created by Xcode
• Repairing the color tags feature for objects on network file servers
• Firmware integrity checks for EFI and for Broadcom Ethernet chips
• Unlocking outdated AFP authentication methods for old AppleShare servers
• Catalina security guidelines for execution of Remote Apple Events
• Resetting or repairing the startup language setting
• Showing computer-related info on the login screen
• Enforcing rerun of the macOS Setup Assistant via TinkerTool System for Recovery Mode.
