What's new in each release

v0.0.6

Fixed

Sparkle in-app updates now work correctly — downloads complete and install without errors
The update dialog now shows only release notes for the new version instead of the full website

Also in this update (from 0.0.4)

You can now support Default Tamer's development via a "Buy Me a Coffee" link in the About tab
The menu bar routing toggle has a sleeker, more compact design with smooth hover effects
