This version contains extensive behind-the-scenes updates and rewrites to
remain compatible with new versions of macOS, forming a basis for further
future development.
For example, the application was still 32-bit; as of this release it is a
64-bit app, making it compatible with modern Mac APIs, improved memory
management, etc.
Although I tested the app thoroughly, I might have inadvertently introduced
new bugs due to the extensive changes. If you find any, let me know.
Furthermore:
A disk image file can now be double-clicked in the Finder to start a virtual
machine with that disk inserted.
Added the feature to speak the text on the Apple II screen, using the Mac
voice synthesizer.
Fixed an issue that could cause a new virtual machine window to appear with
a very small size.
Fixed an issue that caused the Inspector's disassembly to show empty lines
when scrolled.
Rewrote the "movie making" feature to use the AVFoundation framework. When
running macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) or later, the movie is written using the
HEVC codec. Older system use the H264 codec.
Clarified the section in the Help file on game controller setup.
Removed the option to select a folder where the ROM files are located. This
feature often caused confusion, and led to some tricky problems. You can
however still select a specific ROM file for a virtual machine. If you don't
specify such a file, the app will search for a matching ROM file in one of
the standard locations.
The app now submits crashes or similar app issues to the developer. These
reports are fully anonymous, and help improving the app. If you wish you can
disable it in the application preferences.
