5.0.0 (RC-2)
Pre-releaseMeetingBar 5.0.0 β Release Candidate 2
β οΈ Pre-release (build 171). This is the second release candidate for 5.0.
If you depend on MeetingBar day to day, wait for the final 5.0.0 β but if you
can help test, bug reports are hugely appreciated. π
About 5.0
A major refresh, inside and out: redesigned onboarding, preferences, and menu;
clearer meeting controls and calendar-provider status at a glance; an improved
day timeline; and new meeting-opening options (Proton Meet, Zoom Web App,
Google Meet PWA, Workplace native app). Your existing meeting-opening defaults
stay unchanged.
