MacPilot 17.4.2 released!
| Version 17.4.1/17.4.2 – January 1, 2026 | |

Requirements This version requires at least macOS 13 (Ventura from Fall 2022); however, it is designed specifically for macOS 26 (Tahoe from Fall 2025). We have all older versions available for download on our web site. Please use the one designed for your version of macOS. A current, valid, license for any Koingo app will unlock all previous versions. |

| Upgrade Notes This upgrade is free for users owning the current major version, an active subscription, Utility Package Pro, or a "lifetime license." No action is required other than downloading the new version from our web site and unlocking as normal with an e-mail address.

| Modification: | More descriptive error messages if the primary database can't be setup. |
| New Feature: | DNS lookup type popup now includes many additional record types (CAA, DS/DNSKEY/RRSIG/NSEC/NSEC3, TLSA, SSHFP, SVCB/HTTPS, NAPTR, LOC) beyond the basic set. |
| New Feature: | Added TXT “special-purpose” lookup modes with row tags to drive correct query names (SPF, DMARC, DKIM selector, MTA-STS, TLS-RPT, BIMI, ACME Challenge). |
| New Feature: | SelectionChanged logic now reads row tags (not display text) and updates labels/placeholders contextually (PTR, SRV, and TXT subtypes). |
| New Feature: | LookupStart now builds dig commands from row tags, automatically prepending required owner-name prefixes for TXT subtypes (e.g. _dmarc., _mta-sts., _smtp._tls., default._bimi., _acme-challenge., <selector>._domainkey.). |
| New Feature: | DKIM mode repurposes the second field as “selector” and constructs the correct DKIM query name automatically. |
| New Feature: | PTR mode supports using Host as the primary IP and Server as an optional alternate IP, and uses dig -x instead of treating the second field as a DNS server. |
| Bug Fix: | LookupStart now validates/normalizes inputs consistently after moving to tag-based lookup types (trailing dot cleanup, correct per-mode field usage, safer command construction). |
| Bug Fix: | ProcessLookupLine now uses the selected row tag to label +short results correctly (e.g. “TXT (DMARC)” instead of just “TXT”). |
| Bug Fix: | Improved no-answer reporting remains consistent across new lookup modes by preserving status parsing and showing a clear NOANSWER summary. |
| Bug Fix: | Update the process to kill after setting Screenshot settings on Tahoe. |
| Bug Fix: | Minor UI adjustments. |
