Important Notice
I am currently traveling.
If you encounter various issues during use, it may take a longer time to fix and resolve them. The update cycle will remain paused.
If you need stable usage, it is recommended to continue using version 3.2 and temporarily not update to 3.3.
Version 3.3 contains many new features and changes, and there may be undiscovered issues. I will concentrate on handling feedback after my trip ends.
