Fixed a bug introduced in 7.1.6-b6 that was causing audits to not load, with an indication that "Auditing is not supported for this task".

Fixed the reporting of file-specific errors when a stall is encountered while downloading cloud-only files.

Added a "search" button to the header of the Snapshots table to make it easier to access the Snapshot Comparison Browser and "search for a file across snapshots" functionality.

b6: Fixed a logic issue that was causing the hide/show CCC icon in the menubar setting to only be applied on Tahoe+.

Golden Gate: Right-clicking on CCC's menu bar icon no longer produces a contextual menu. That's either a bug in the new OS, or a regrettable new design decision by Apple. Either way, no third-party applications are getting right-click events in their menu bar apps, so we're holding out hope that Apple resolves this before shipping macOS 27 in the fall. For now, we've found a way to get the Control+left-click gesture to produce the contextual menu. [FB23224071]

Golden Gate: Applications that leverage background services will now remain in the Dock, even when you quit the app. CCC opts out out of that annoying behavior. [FB23205494]

CCC's software updates will now be facilitated by CCC's helper tool whenever possible (this allows us to drop a deprecated system request). CCC now validates an ED25519 signature of software update archives (a notch more secure than validating the SHA256 checksum).

Fixed a logic error that avoided enabling ownership on a remote Mac destination.

Implemented a method that will instigate the Finder to more proactively update the size of a bundle file when CCC modifies the content of that bundle file. This doesn't change anything about what gets copied, it just avoids a situation where people reach an invalid conclusion about the content of the destination based on invalid Finder information.

Fixed a handful of edge-case crashers.

Protected snapshots now have a friendlier label when selected as the source to a Restore task.

The Quick Update feature will now be suppressed for the next event if the user has enabled the "Remove excluded files" setting since the previous event (i.e. without making any other changes to the task filter). This avoids a situation where excluded files wouldn't be removed from the destination until some other modification was made to the containing folder on the source.

We have received a handful of new reports from Tahoe users that the mini task progress window is remaining on screen and unresponsive after all task activity has completed. This update includes some modifications to the memory management of that window that will hopefully resolve this issue. If you see the issue with this beta build of CCC, please choose "Report a problem" from CCC's Help menu and submit logs with your request so we can take a closer look at the incident.

The "Last health check" event time is now presented next to the Backup Health Check frequency popup menu for additional context when making a health check frequency choice.

Refactored the mechanism that is used to coordinate the "hide menubar icon" setting between CCC, the Dashboard, and the System Settings "Allow in the menubar" UI such that it no longer relies on a CCC global setting. If you were seeing an occasional request for authentication from the CCC Dashboard application on login, and you're logged in to a non-admin account, then this change should resolve those authentication requests.

Fixed the "current file" feedback for tasks that specify a remote Mac as a source or destination.

The Quick Update setting is now disabled when "Temporarily download cloud-only files" is enabled. These settings are mutually exclusive because FSEvents can't detect changes to cloud-only content that might have occurred on some other device.

Improved search indexing performance in the Snapshot Comparison Browser by as much as 3X for SSDs. The performance gains are more modest for rotational media, only about 7%, but still an improvement.
