IMPROVED
• Redesigned Settings, rebuilt in SwiftUI and organized into clear sections — servers, authentication, security, iCloud, and interface
• A polished new look with a modern Liquid Glass interface
• Refreshed app toolbar, tuned for both iPhone and iPad
• Redesigned keyboard toolbar with the keys you reach for most — CTRL, CMD, ESC, TAB, undo/redo, cut/copy/paste, arrows, reload, and keyboard toggle
• The keyboard toolbar now appears on both iPhone and iPad, with a two-row layout on iPhone so every key is visible — no scrolling
• Hold the arrow keys to move and select continuously
• Prefer a clean canvas? Hide the toolbar for a fully chromeless editor and still open Settings anytime with ⌘,
FIXED
• Fixed an issue where the keyboard toolbar could disappear after disconnecting a hardware keyboard
