Mac2MQTT v0.4.8

• The menu bar's menu shows the connection's state over the broker's
  address, and the song over its artist, each on two lines.
• Settings says when updates were last checked as "5 minutes ago" or
  "yesterday", in the app's language.
• Updating removes the files the new version no longer has.

Mac2MQTT v0.4.7

• The display reads off when its monitor has no power, as one on a smart
  plug that is switched off, not only when it sleeps.
• Screen Lock replaces Screen Locked in Home Assistant: it reads Locked or
  Unlocked, with a lock that closes and opens, where Screen Locked read On
  while the screen was locked. Its entity is new
  (binary_sensor._screen_lock, on while unlocked): update the
  automations that used Screen Locked.

Mac2MQTT v0.4.6

• A brighter, more even look: badges and states in bright colors of one
  lightness, flat badges, a quieter sidebar, page titles level with the
  app's name, and This Mac in three columns.
• Overview's status and Now Playing are Liquid Glass over soft light, and
  pages fade out under their title as they scroll.
• Entities opens on a summary: how many entities Home Assistant has from
  this Mac, and how many groups are on and off.
• Settings save as you change them, as macOS's do: a field saves when you
  leave it, and there is no Save button to press.
• When an update is available, the menu bar's menu, Settings and About say
  which version, with a button to update to it.
• The app icon's body has a faint depth.

Mac2MQTT v0.4.5

• Home Assistant gets the Mac's uptime, how long ago it started, sleep
  included, beside the app's own.

Mac2MQTT v0.4.4

• Every item of the menu bar's menu has its icon, so that their labels
  line up in one column.

Mac2MQTT v0.4.3

• The menu bar's menu shows icons beside its items, as macOS 26's menus
  do, and the status with a dot in its color.
• A Control-click on the menu bar's icon opens its menu, as a right-click
  does.
• Updates replace the app once it has quit, so the Dock and Login Items
  keep it; a check in the background shows its window as Sparkle does.
• Install from Terminal, with the update's signature checked:
  curl -fsSL https://github.com/FaintGhost/mac2mqtt/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh

Mac2MQTT v0.4.2

• Signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple: Mac2MQTT opens like
  any app, and macOS keeps its permissions, such as Local Network, across
  updates.
• When macOS's Local Network privacy keeps Mac2MQTT from a broker on the
  local network, which it reported as "no route to host", the window says
  what to allow, with a button to the setting.

Mac2MQTT v0.4.1

• Lighter: idle in the menu bar, Mac2MQTT takes about a fifth of the
  memory it did, and starts no processes every few seconds. Volume, mute
  and the screen's lock are read without one, Now Playing by a single
  watcher, and closing the window frees what it held.
• Now Playing shows the playing app's icon.
• The menu bar's icon is the app icon's house.
• Home Assistant names the entities in the app's language, with English
  entity IDs that automations can rely on.
• The window opens at the top of its page, and each page keeps its own
  scroll.
• Install with Homebrew: brew install --cask faintghost/tap/mac2mqtt.

Mac2MQTT v0.4.0

• A flat icon: a house in one white line on ink, with a signal inside.
• A new website, as flat: faintghost.github.io/mac2mqtt.

Mac2MQTT v0.3.3

• A new icon: a house broadcasting, for a Mac reporting to its home.
