What's New:
- Improved rendering of the Apple II high resolution graphics. The colors as well as the color transitions now better resemble the original machine's output on an NTSC TV.
Note that the previous high resolution rendering can still be selected in the application settings. - Restored support for the iBuffalo Classic USB Gamepad.
- Added the property screen sharpening to the Applescript vocabulary, so a script can now also switch this feature on or off.
- In macOS 15 (Seqoia) connecting an emulated Super Serial card caused the devices area to be drawn incorrectly. This has been solved.
- Fixed an issue, first appearing in version 12.0, where the button for selecting a custom ROM failed to work.
