Full Changelog: v0.7.1...0.8.0

v0.7.1 Beta

Hey everyone, quick adjustment from 0.7.0.

Changes:

• Added ES, FR, RO (Spanish, French, Romanian) localizations
• Fixed small UI bugs

v0.7.0 Beta

Hopefully the application not opening should be fixed now, but no promises. Apple keeps revoking the app due to how much traffic it's receiving and it's unlikely that the issue can be resolved unless I pay the $99/year subscription (which I can't afford as a broke student). Anyways, enjoy this release with a few new cool features!

Highlights:

• Added Clover Bootloader Support
• Added Button on Main Screen for System Report
• Added Button on Main Screen for Software Updates
• Added support for the new Mac Mini and MacBook Pro 14 and 16 inch models
• Substantially Cut Down the Size of the App (You're Welcome)
