---
A few notes on the changes I made: I dropped the asterisks entirely since Apple strips or ignores them anyway. I turned your headers into a short intro paragraph so it flows naturally. I also softened "squashed a few bugs" to "various bug fixes and performance improvements" since that reads more polished in a store context, but let me know if you'd like to keep the personality of the original wording.
