We are proud to present the initial preview of MaxTo 2.1. There have been a lot of changes:

Important! We recommend that you move your config.json to another location before trying this release. Then you'll get all of the new default keyboard shortcuts set up, and you'll have a backup of your settings in case you want to go back to 2.0. Version 2.1 changes the configuration format slightly, in a manner that will no longer be compatible with version 2.0.
