Auto update broken

[fuzzy76]

Checking for updates gives an error message, and your version of Sparkle framework is outdated.

Gas Mask's Sparkle framework hasn't been updated in a while, so auto-updates won't work on newer macOS.

If you're looking for an actively maintained alternative, SaneHosts is a native macOS hosts file manager with working auto-updates, 200+ curated blocklists, and profile management. Runs natively on Apple Silicon.

That's exactly what I said, just worded differently.

Spamming Github issues of open source software with your commercial software is not going to get you friends. And SaneHosts is not a hosts file manager, it is a domain blocker. The focus of the software matters.

Fair point — I should have disclosed that I'm the developer of SaneHosts. That wasn't intentional, just an oversight. Apologies for that.

To clarify: SaneHosts is open source and is a hosts file manager — it manages /etc/hosts directly with profiles, imports, and blocklists. The $5 is optional; you can clone and build it for free.

Wasn't trying to spam, just thought it was relevant since Gas Mask appears unmaintained. Sorry if it came across poorly.
