5.6.0
Licensing model
I'm removing the 1-year of updates restriction and will give everyone unlimited free updates for Lunar 5.
Lunar will move to a major-version upgrade licensing model, where you will only have to pay for a new license if a new major version is launched (e.g. Lunar 6).
If that ever happens, you will also be able to use your previous license as a coupon to get a substantial discount if you previously bought Lunar.
Features
XDR Brightness
- Enhance contrast to make the dark-background/bright-text case more usable in the sun
- Make XDR more seamless: simply increasing the brightness over 100% with your keyboard should now enable XDR smoothly and without many flickers
- Keep XDR enabled when the screen comes back from standby
- HDR content overblowing is now fixed as long as Gamma is not used
- Note: this is still a macOS bug that is awaiting a fix from Apple, all I've done is work around it
- Disable XDR on non-Apple monitors until the forced-monochrome bugs are fixed
BlackOut subsystem rewrite

System Preferences - More stable mirroring

Menu Density
Improvements
- Save last resolution before mirroring and re-apply it after mirroring ends
- This works around a system bug where a non-native resolution is applied when mirroring is disabled
- Lower CPU usage further by reducing UI structure update when menus are not visible
- QuickActions menu becomes scrollable when it reaches the bottom of the screen
- Assign remaining DDC ports sequentially for monitors that can't be matched by
EDID
Fixes
- Lower CPU usage by fixing a recursive call on the resolutions dropdown
- Lower memory usage and the number of threads spawned
