Version 1.2.7 – MacOS improvements

Today’s update mostly focuses on MacOS though there are some bug fixes and visual improvements that affect the Windows version as well.

The biggest change on MacOS is that the installer is gone. Now we’re using the simple drag and drop Dmg archive that is familiar to users of MacOS. Updating is now handled by the Sparkle framework which provides a much smoother experience for the user. You can now stay updated without the need for user interaction. Everything happens in the background.

Another change on MacOS is that the main menubar in Exothermic now behaves like a traditional MacOS application. That means it’s integrated into the operating system menubar instead of the application window.

Dialog windows have been restyled on both MacOS and Windows.
