  • No more crash a few seconds after opening the panel on macOS 15 and 26. Wattson released a string it only borrowed from the system each time it read CPU speeds, so the panel crashed soon after opening. macOS 27 never frees those strings, which is why it only crashed on older systems. (#1, #2)
  • A battery held at its charge limit no longer flips between "holding" and "draining". On a charger the battery's flow was worked out from two readings that update one second apart, so it swung by watts every second. It now comes from the battery's own terminals, which read a steady 0 A at the limit.
  • The menu bar can show just the wattage. Turn off "Show the icon beside the reading" in Menu Bar settings. It stays on unless you change it.
  • The menu bar item no longer changes width as the reading goes from 9.8 W to 10.2 W or a sign comes and goes, so the items beside it stay put.
