This version further addresses cases where the menu-bar icon appears to activate itself against the user's will in macOS 26.

This version addresses a minor compatibility issue with macOS 26 Tahoe where the operating system could send menu-bar change notifications suggesting that the user allegedly likes to add a battery icon to the menu bar. This could permanently enable the app's menu-bar icon when it was not intended. The new version ignores such events.

- The application icon had to be changed to maintain full compatibility with macOS 26 Tahoe. - Enhanced support for VoiceOver in some helper and explanatory panels, and in the dialogs for battery log maintenance.

The user interface and processing in cases where the App Store requests a revalidation of the license have changed. The program now quits during the procedure, preventing the possible optical illusion that the app would be part of license checks or the handling of Apple Accounts. These tasks are carried out exclusively by macOS. Users have to restart the app manually when the App Store prevented a successful launch.

- The window for monitoring batteries of connected Bluetooth devices now shows a USB indicator when an Apple input device is disconnected from Bluetooth but charged via USB on the same computer. - The notification feature to show a warning when an AC adaptor is connected for a long time has been removed. With new systems that support optimized charging, enforced PowerNap, and third-party applications with a smart "charge inhibit" feature, it can no longer be estimated reliably whether prolonged charging in an operating computer would actually harm the battery, so the warning no longer makes sense. - Added new feature to avoid a technical defect of specific versions of macOS where a monitored battery of a connected Bluetooth device from Apple can be shown with changing representations for the device's serial number, sometimes being replaced by a Bluetooth address. Battery Monitor will try to show the correct data as soon as it could learn the relationship between address and number for the affected device. - Fixed a problem where adding or removing specific Apple Bluetooth input devices could not be tracked live. A restart of the app may have been needed to update the Bluetooth window for the affected devices.

This version suppresses unnecessary checks performed by the App Store that could occur when starting the App, including the associated windows and possible delays. This could have affected users who restart their login sessions unusually often or switch between multiple operating systems on a single computer. From the previous release: - The main overview window of the application can now be resized. - Added necessary changes to ensure that the App remains compatible with future versions of the Mac App Store. - Legacy code has been removed. The minimum operating system version is now macOS 13.

- The main overview window of the application can now be resized. - Added necessary changes to ensure that the App remains compatible with future versions of the Mac App Store. - Legacy code has been removed. The minimum operating system version is now macOS 13.

- Added new feature to show the connection type of attached AC adapters. This is supported on operating system versions and Macintosh models that are capable of reading out the technical specifications of the power supply. - Added new option to show values in the Dock tile in enlarged fashion. - The layout of history windows has been optimized. When resizing a window, the labels for the y-axis keep their widths which leaves more space for the graphs. - Users who enabled history windows in standard mode and enforced the use of tabs for document windows in macOS could create compatibility issues with specific features. To avoid this, Battery Monitor now automatically opts out of using tabs. - Fixed a problem where the voltage of an attached AC adapter could not be shown in some versions of macOS. - Legacy code has been removed. The minimum operating system version is now macOS 11.

- Application and reference manual have been updated to correctly differentiate between System Settings of macOS Ventura and System Preferences in older versions of macOS. - Fixed a problem where opening System Settings via the context menu of the menu-bar icon did not work as expected in macOS Ventura. - A cryptographic security feature was removed to ensure the App can still be imported to France.

- In addition to the Touch Bar controls, the battery capacity log can now also opened directly in graph mode via the main menu, context menu, or via keyboard shortcuts. - The wording of the "last full charge cycle" indicator in the long-term overview window was modified to avoid misunderstandings. - The code base was modernized to prepare for future operating system versions.

- Added new feature to visualize the differences between state of charge percentage of the battery cells and battery percentage shown by the operating system. This feature is available on operating systems and Macintosh models that make this distinction. - Added new information sheet to explain possible differences between maximum capacity shown by Battery Monitor and battery status shown by System Preferences. This feature is available on operating systems and Macintosh models that make this distinction. - Added new information sheet showing long-term statistics collected by the battery unit, e.g. maximum and minimum voltages, currents, temperatures or operating hours. This feature is available on Macintosh systems with battery units that perform this type of data recording. - Auxiliary windows and information sheets can now also be opened directly via main menu or Dock menu. - The new version tries to avoid flicker of some text output elements when the overview window is already open while the application is still starting up.

- Added new feature to optionally show the estimated remaining time in the Dock tile of the App. Depending on current charging or discharging process, the value corresponds to the time it takes for the battery to become full or empty. - Support for VoiceOver was enhanced in some parts of the App. - The App is now more robust in cases where a monitored Bluetooth device sends invalid battery readings.

This is a maintenance update which fixes minor issues: - In specific cases, the labels for the y axes in history graphs could be rounded in confusing or misleading fashion, depending on the accuracy of the corresponding battery sensors. The number of digits and the rounding method are now optimized to avoid such issues. - For specific operating system versions, the feature to open the Energy Saver preference pane via the menu icon may have failed.

- Added new feature to show a history graph for battery temperature. - The layout of the main overview window was optimized. This avoids clipped data fields in some language versions. - Virtual battery units, used by some desktop computers with Apple Silicon, are no longer shown as an actual battery.

- Added new feature to show the accessible battery levels of all battery-powered Bluetooth devices currently connected to your Mac (no longer restricted to selected Human Interfaces devices). - Added full support for macOS 12. - Removed legacy support for macOS 10.12 and 10.13. - Updated the handling of manufacturing dates for Apple devices released after August 2021.

- Added new feature to dismiss the notification panel for the "long charge" warning by simply plugging the power cord. - Added new setting to increase the upper possible limit for the "nagging low power notification" feature from 20% to 66% if the user likes to do so. This can be helpful for old Macs with defective batteries. - Added new feature to show possible deviations between the true health value for maximum battery capacity and fake values sometimes shown by macOS for specific Macintosh models. - The activity profile of the App was optimized to avoid that the App Nap feature of macOS causes readings or other status information to be shown with a noticeable delay.

- In cases where the combination of Macintosh model and operating system no longer permit that Apps can access battery manufacturer and manufacturing date reliably, the application will now show the battery lot codes and version numbers instead. - The display of the battery serial number has been simplified. - Fixes a problem where the computer model was not shown as descriptive text for a few of the latest Macintosh series.

- Added support for the new battery management of the 10th generation MacBook Air and the 17th generation MacBook Pro. Capacity values and battery unit serial numbers will now be shown correctly for these models. - Added a workaround for situations where the operating system provides contradicting battery health information. - Fixed a problem for Macs with Apple Silicon where the system installation date may have been shown instead of the manufacturing week.

- Added official support for macOS 11 Big Sur. - Legacy technology has been removed from the App. The minimum required OS version is now macOS 10.12. - The conditions for merging two long-term battery capacity logs have been relaxed. This makes it easier to resolve an unintentional split of the database after using beta operating system versions.

- Added new feature to merge the capacity logs of two batteries if their time intervals are compatible. - The width of the menu-bar display was further optimized for some versions of macOS. - The battery capacity log has been made more robust against system or window server crashes. - Added preparations for future operating system upgrades. - Fixed a problem where the German translation was incomplete for error messages of the feature to split capacity logs.

- Added new option to suppress the battery icon in the menu bar if both the menu-bar item and its percentage display feature are active. This allows you to place Apple's battery icon and Battery Monitor's percentage value next to each other in the menu bar, combining the best of both worlds. - The app now accepts that its icon can be replaced by the Finder. This will no longer raise a security warning.

- Added new feature to display the device type of the AC adapter in its details information window. This feature is not available for all combinations of operating systems and model series. - Added new feature to display possible error status information for the AC adapter in the details information window. This feature is not available for all combinations of operating systems and model series. - If the status item in the menu-bar is enabled, an additional warning marker will now be shown in the attached menu when battery servicing is required. - This version adds a workaround for an ambiguity that could cause an incorrect display of production dates for Macintosh model series that have up-to-date operating system support for more than 10 years. - Added a workaround for a missing battery health assessment field in operating systems that don't differentiate correctly between health and error information.

This version adds more explicit error messages for cases where communication with the AC power adapter fails due to support issues between operating system and specific hardware models.

- This version adds full support for macOS 10.15 Catalina. - Legacy technology has been removed from the App. The minimum required OS version is now 10.11. - Added new option to activate nagging, repeating reminder warnings when the charge level drops below a specified value. The threshold can be set between 5% and 20%. - The preferences tab to define notifications employs improved user guidance.
