Release Notes - BetterCast v4.0

Stability and Polish.
This release brings BetterCast to a "native" level of reliability, comparable to Apple's own Sidecar.

📡 "Infrastructure-Free" Connection (AWDL 2.0)

We have significantly improved the direct peer-to-peer engine.

  • Zero Interference: The connection (using Apple Wireless Direct Link) is now isolated from your home Wi-Fi infrastructure. This means heavy downloading on your router won't lag your extended display.
  • Rock Solid Stability: Fixed issues where the connection would randomly drop or timeout. It now intelligently handles localized interference without disconnecting.
  • Instant Linking: Connection times are now near-instant, similar to Sidecar.

✨ Visual Polish

  • No More "Black Streak": We have resolved the rendering bug that caused a distracting black line or streak on the edge of the display.
  • Perfect Alignment: The screen now fits perfectly edge-to-edge with correct aspect ratio handling.
