What’s new in version 5.3.1

Updated on Nov 09 2023

 

Introducing Power Protect
  • In Amphetamine 5.3, a Closed-Display Mode script was introduced to address an issue on Apple Silicon Macs where connecting or disconnecting your Mac laptop from an external power source could cause unexpected session behavior. Running this script required use of Touch ID or an administrator’s password.
  • Thanks to members of the Amphetamine community (Pitor and Joe), a way to run the script without authentication has been identified and implemented in Amphetamine 5.3.1. To run the script without authentication, you must install both the script and a configuration file. This feature is now known as Power Protect and is only needed/available on Apple Silicon Mac laptops.
Fixes
  • Added warning when Amphetamine is running using Rosetta
  • Fixed an issue where some Apple Silicon Macs could be identified as Intel
  • Fixed an issue for sessions that start at app launch don’t enable Closed-Display Mode
  • Fixed an issue where the session time remaining or other text would overlap Amphetamine’s icon in the menu bar
  • Fixed an issue with a -50 Application Can’t be Opened error that appeared on some older macOS versions
  • Added additional logic/code around creating and releasing power assertions in an attempt to fix an issue where Amphetamine causes a Mac to sleep, disconnect from external displays and/or WiFi, or create a ”flash” on external displays
  • Added ability to uninstall scripts via Amphetamine (menu bar icon) → Feedback & Support → Uninstall Scripts…
  • Added Location Services request for current WiFi network name access for Trigger sessions in macOS Sonoma
  • Configured all of Amphetamine’s alerts to be floating windows (show on top of other windows)
  • Fixed an issue where some menu text was clipped in French localization
  • Fixed an issue with Triggers not activating on some non-laptop Macs
  • Fixed an issue where some IP address-based Trigger sessions would not end when expected
Requirements for Amphetamine
  • Intel, 64-bit processor
