Significantly updated status reporting and troubleshooting options.
Complete reorganization of the super file structure to better align with standard macOS conventions.
New external default parameter configuration allows for customization of "fiddly-detail" settings.
All super runtime asset are now code signed, which enables a variety of security-related enhancements.
New deployment method using macOS package installer.

super 6.0.x requires macOS 15 or newer.
super 6.0.x requires a Mac computer with Apple Silicon.
Previously saved super 5.x.x local authentication credentials are compatible with super 6.0.x.
Previously saved super 5.x.x Jamf Pro API authentication credentials are not compatible with super 6.0.x and will be deleted from the system the first time super 6.0.x runs.
A major version number change (like 5.x.x to 6.x.x) indicates that previous command line options and managed preferences are not compatible with the newer version of super.
Refer to this spreadsheet (tab separated values) for migrating super command line options.
Refer to this spreadsheet (tab separated values) for migrating super managed preferences.
Updated example MDM configuration profiles.
Updated additional Super-Friends assets.

The super installer package is not yet notarized by Apple. This should not present a problem for most managed deployment workflows, but downloaded super packages may fail when installed manually due to file system quarantine. Removing the file quarantine will resolve this issue.
Full support for declarative software update enforcement is still in the works. Support coming soon.
The MacAdmin's SOFA Apple Beta feed technically exists but it's not currently being updated by the SOFA project. Thus, systems enrolled in a macOS beta program cannot take advantage of this resource.
There are currently no publicly available Background Security Improvement (BSI, formerly named Rapid Security Response) updates for any version of macOS. As such, production BSI update workflows have not been validated.

Note this sub-section only covers specific changes for 6.0.0-beta3 to 6.0.0-beta4. Please refer to other sections of the CHANGELOG full details of all the changes.
New swiftDialog v3.1.1-5000 is automatically installed. This resolves several super dialog issues. (Thanks to @bartreardon for his dedication to the project!)
Added support for automatic workflow restart when super is started from Jamf School (zuludesk).
Updated all Jamf Pro Extension Attribute scripts to support super 6.x.x..
If any soft or hard deadlines have passed, dialog info boxes now properly show that the number of deferrals remaining is "None".
As always, countless logging refinements and correction of typos. (Thanks to @sculliga for pointing a few out.)
