Highlights
Reliable multi-monitor placement, sharper browser-tab ordering and search, plus four features graduated out of Experimental into Behavior.
Added
- New "Keep minimized windows in recency order" option — turn off the sinking of minimized windows and the switcher follows pure recency instead. (#159)
- New option to hide the hidden / minimized / no-window / full-screen glyphs on switcher rows, overridable per shortcut. Audio, Launch and Reopen markers stay. (#149)
- About now shows the commit a build came from next to the build number, so beta reports pin down the exact code.
- The updater can move you back to the stable channel after you leave the beta channel.
Changed
- Rank search, browser-tab search, browser-tab recency and instant Space switching left the Experimental pane and now live in Behavior next to the settings they belong with. Defaults are unchanged, and your existing choices carry over.
- "Monitor with the active window" is now labeled "Monitor with the active app" and follows the frontmost app's own window when your displays share one Space.
- The switcher opens faster on the active-app display: placement now takes one Accessibility read instead of four, so a busy frontmost app no longer delays or loses the panel's placement.
- Searching with many browser tabs open is faster and no longer stalls the keystroke path.
Fixed
- The switcher opened on the main display instead of the display you were working on whenever "Displays have separate Spaces" was off.
- Browser tabs are ranked by recency again in Chromium browsers that append the browser or profile name to the window title. (#157)
- Tab recency updates were silently dropped while a browser was busy loading a heavy page.
- Typing a query no longer loses app matches when an expanded browser fills the result rows — searching "chr" with 40 Chrome tabs open finds "Chronicle" again.
- A scoped app-profile hotkey no longer re-activates the app you were already on when its modifier release is missed. (#130)
- The update window is localized again in all eight supported languages instead of showing English only.
