About This Version
This pre-release provides macOS Tahoe 26 public beta 2 compatibility and contains some additional improvements and bug fixes.
Free upgrade for Pro users from v3.x to v4.x:
If you bought Pro for the v3.x app (any purchase after July 15, 2024), you get the v4.x upgrade for free. If you have a Pro license from v1.x or v2.x, we kindly ask you to purchase a new Pro license for v4.x after upgrading to support ongoing development. Any purchase (using any app version in case of an in-app purchase) is now considered a v4.x purchase. Newly purchased licenses activate any older app versions too.
The following changelog contains changes compared to the previous v4.0.0 pre-release version.
