Ferrum 0.1.3

The first macOS build. Apple silicon, built from the same source as the Windows build of this version and carrying the same changes: the terminal holds its place while output arrives, word wrap arrives on Alt+Z, a click under a fold lands on the row it is pointing at, reloading a file that changed on disk no longer replaces the wrong buffer, and a crash report no longer carries the home directory of the machine the build was made on. The shortcuts bind to Command here rather than Control.

The application is signed ad-hoc rather than by Apple, so macOS quarantines it after a download and refuses the first launch. Clear the flag once, and it opens normally from then on:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Ferrum.app

Or open it, let it be refused, and allow it in System Settings > Privacy & Security. Do not right-click and choose Open: macOS 15 removed that bypass for applications with no Developer ID, so it now does nothing.

Updating from inside the editor does not work on macOS yet. This build is installed by dragging it to Applications, and the next one will be too.
