This is major release with a number of significant changes - both to the app and the codebase. For more details please refer to versions comparison.
This release is very special for us - the project is celebrating its 10th Birthday! 🎉
And what a release it is! The team has grown with the new members providing significant contributions to the project. A lot of legacy code was refactored and re-written, UI has received an uplift and a makeover, and some UX has been refined. The app should look much better on 4K displays and in scaled environments.
Sadly, we deprecated Mono support, however we haven't lost a desire to remain x-plat, and we plan to revisit this in future releases.
Huge props to everyone who contributed to the release!
Few notable changes:
