HTTP authentification

We enabled HTTP authentification (basic authentification) for OS X version of Blisk. Basic authentification is the simplest technique for enforcing access controls to web resources because it doesn't require cookies, session identifiers, or login pages.

Extensions on OS X version

Since this version, Blisk for Mac starts supporting extensions from Chrome store. This opens new possibilities in using your favorite tools. However, this is the experimental feature: extensions may cause issues while working in Blisk. Please, contact us if you have any troubles while using extensions in Blisk on Mac.
