IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • This release might be the last binary releases I'll be able to make for macOS/intel, Windows 10, and macOS/ARM on Monterey. All of my build machines are getting either decommissioned or replaced. Future versions will likely only be Windows 11 and macOS/ARM on some newer release.

  • Twitch Requests are disabled in this release due to changes in the Twitch API. I'll bring them back in a future release.

As usual during upgrades, you only need the zip file for your particular machine.
