Added
- macOS: Swipe sideways with two fingers on the trackpad to go back and forward in a Gmail tab or a workspace app, as you would in a browser. An arrow slides in from the edge to show where the swipe is heading. It follows
System Settings → Trackpad → More Gestures → Swipe between pages. - Meru Pro: Archive, mark as read, delete or mark as spam a message straight from the unified inbox, by hovering its row or with Gmail's own shortcuts: E, Shift+I, # and !.
- Meru Pro: Disable an account at
Settings… → Accountsto keep it signed in and hidden until you need it again. - Meru Pro: Meru now appears alongside your browsers in your system's default browser settings and in link routers such as Choosey and Finicky, so a rule can send a Google Meet, Chat or Calendar link straight to Meru. Meru opens nothing for a link to anywhere else, so keep the rule to Google's links.
- Meru Pro: Meru links can open a Google link in Meru:
meru://open?url=<link>asks which account should open it when you have more than one.meru://<email>/open?url=<link>opens it in that account.
- With Meru itself set as your default browser, a link Meru doesn't open in one of its own tabs now offers to copy itself, since there is no other browser to send it to.
- Meru Pro: Notify for at
Settings… → Notificationschooses whether notifications show for all new emails or only the ones Gmail marks as important. Default: all new emails. - Meru Pro: Show Do Not Disturb button at
Settings… → Appearancetakes the Do Not Disturb button out of the titlebar when turned off. Do Not Disturb turns off with it, so notifications keep arriving. On by default. - Meru Pro: Show bookmarks button at
Settings… → Workspace Appstakes the bookmarks button out of the titlebar and the vertical tabs sidebar when turned off. On by default. - Download notifications now have a Show in Finder (Show in File Explorer on Windows) or Open button. Clicking the notification itself brings Meru forward.
Changed
- macOS: Meru now needs macOS 13 (Ventura) or later. Macs on macOS 12 stay on 3.61 and are no longer offered updates.
- Meru Pro: The unified inbox now uses less memory and does less work on every check for new mail.
Fixed
- Clicking a new mail notification opens that email in its account again, instead of only bringing Meru to the front. The notification's Copy button for verification codes also works again after the first few seconds.
- Opening an email from a notification, the unified inbox or a Meru link now switches to the account's Gmail tab when another tab was open, instead of opening it out of sight.
- With enough accounts to fill the titlebar, the account buttons now scroll instead of pushing the other titlebar buttons off-screen. Wheel or swipe over the row to move it, or use the arrows at either end; switching accounts brings the one you picked into view.
- The Accounts menu no longer shows shortcuts for accounts past the ninth, which never worked.
- With Theme set to Dark at
Settings… → Appearance, the titlebar, tabs and settings no longer sometimes launch light until you switch the setting back and forth. - After choosing Later on an update, the restart prompt no longer returns every few hours for the same version.
- macOS: The close, minimize and zoom buttons now sit centered in the titlebar instead of a few pixels too high.
- macOS: Showing a download in Finder from its notification no longer opens Finder behind Meru's window.
- Windows: The passkey note at
Settings… → Extensionsand the prompt at Google's passkey sign-in now say that only a passkey added to your Google account from inside Meru works, and that passkeys from Chrome, Google Password Manager or your phone don't. - Linux and Windows: Restart in Meru's restart prompts now brings Meru back on the AppImage and the portable build, which quit for good instead of restarting.
- Linux: Window controls no longer appear over Meru's titlebar buttons on window managers without decorations, such as dwm, i3 and sway. A new Window controls setting at
Settings… → Appearanceoverrides the detection.
