Skim v1.0.22 โ€” "Ask the MX, not the vibes" ๐Ÿ›‚

byโ€ข

The one where Skim stops pretending that Microsoft owns exactly four domains on the entire internet.

โœจ New

  • Work & school accounts are finally recognized. ๐Ÿข If your company lives on Exchange Online, Skim now asks your domain's MX records who really hosts the mail. Everything Microsoft runs answers on *., so the sign-in button that actually works shows up on its own โ€” no more falling into the manual IMAP/SMTP form to guess hostnames that were never going to connect. (Yes, too. Sorry it took a whole minor version to notice Germany exists. ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช)

  • Behind a mail gateway? Proofpoint and Mimecast tenants don't advertise Microsoft in MX at all, so unknown domains now get one quiet "Work or school account?" line instead of a shrug. One line. We counted. ๐Ÿ“

  • The DNS probe goes through the machine's own resolver (DnsQuery_W) โ€” your domain never visits a third party, results are memoized, the whole thing is capped at 3 seconds, and if it fails the screen looks exactly like it did before. ๐Ÿ”’

๐Ÿ› Fixed

  • The connect screen no longer flashes the manual form for a split second before deciding what it actually wanted to show. Nobody liked that little strobe. ๐Ÿชฉ

  • Failed Microsoft sign-ins can now, revolutionarily, display an error. The error slot was living inside the password snippet, which is a great hiding spot if your goal is to never be seen. ๐Ÿ™ˆ

  • OAuth buttons stopped submitting the form because someone forgot type="button". Classic. ๐Ÿคฆ

  • access_denied is no longer universally translated as "you cancelled". AADSTS65004 is a genuine decline; the rest of that family is your tenant's consent policy saying no on your behalf โ€” and now it says that instead of blaming you. ๐Ÿ™…

Fixes .

๐Ÿงน Housekeeping

  • The MX walk now traverses the record list as NonNull instead of raw pointers, because CodeQL followed a null_mut() all the way into a dereference and made a very good point. ๐Ÿ” The null check now lives in the type, each unsafe block vouches for exactly one operation, and behavior is unchanged โ€” verified against a real tenant domain, a country consumer domain, a Google-hosted domain, and an NXDOMAIN that politely refused to exist.

  • Eleven locales got their new strings. ๐ŸŒ
