Pakua SysManager 1.128.6

[1.128.6] - 2026-10-10
Screen readers now hear what each tab is doing, how a repair or an update download ended, and the notification
in the corner (#2670, #2661).
Fixed
- Status lines are read out. Every tab's status line was marked as a live region, but a screen reader only
reads one out when the app tells it that the text changed, and WPF never does that on its own, so Narrator and
other screen readers heard none of them: not a scan starting, not a repair's verdict, not a cleanup's result.
SysManager now tells them, once for each change made while the line is on screen, so "Scanning…" and then
"Scan complete." are each read out, while what a tab says when you open it is not. This had been so since the
status lines were marked live in 1.77.1.
- The notification in the corner is read out. Its live setting sat on the frame around it, which a screen
reader cannot see, so it was never heard either, since 1.52.67. Its title is now read out at once and its detail
after it, also when the same notification appears twice.
- Five tabs read out their work. Speed Test, Network Repair, App Blocker, About and Shortcut Cleaner showed
their progress in lines that were not live regions at all. They are now, so every tab reads out what it is
doing, as the README says. About reads out how an update download ended, and not the megabytes as they arrive,
and the line explaining a failed download is read out with its reason rather than a fixed label.
Verify the download
Get-FileHash .\SysManager-v1.128.6.exe -Algorithm SHA256
Expected SHA256: E74963B6C0C71509D0A6ED818867A1EAD4064D851C925C2502D15EF85612109F
This build is not code-signed, so Windows will warn on first launch. That is
expected for a small independent app: see what the warning says and what to
click.
Code signing is planned through the SignPath Foundation,
which provides free certificates to open-source projects, with signing performed by
SignPath.io. Until then, the SHA256 above and the build
attestation below are what establish that a download is the genuine build.
Code signing policy
This release is not code-signed. The team roles, release-approval process and
privacy policy required by the SignPath Foundation programme
are documented in advance under Code signing
policy. That
documentation is a prerequisite for applying, not evidence of a certificate. The
attribution line naming SignPath as the signing provider will appear here once a
certificate is actually issued.
This program will not transfer any information to other networked systems unless
specifically requested by the user or the person installing or operating it. Full
privacy policy.
Verify where this binary came from
This exe was built by GitHub Actions from this public source, and the build is
recorded in the Sigstore public transparency log. With the
GitHub CLI:
gh attestation verify .\SysManager-v1.128.6.exe --repo laurentiu021/SystemManager
That proves which commit and workflow produced this exact binary, something the
SHA256 file cannot show, since it is published alongside the exe it describes.
Each release also ships SysManager-v1.128.6.sbom.json, a CycloneDX inventory of
every dependency resolved for this build.
