Release History

Ghost Perspective Compensation & In-App Updater

Introduces the new Ghost effect with resting-plane perspective ray compensation, an automatic in-app updater with SHA-256 validation, and bounded texture memory reclamation.

• Ghost Effect: Intersects a stationary viewer's ray through the tilted panel with the last resting desktop plane. Tracks counter-rotation faster than optical softening.
• In-App Updater: User-initiated GitHub release checks via HTTPS with SHA-256 verification and atomic binary swap into Applications.
• Memory Safety: Stopped effects immediately release their blur pyramid, imported capture textures, and drawables back to the OS.
• Late-Blur Spans: Small lid movements stay gentle even at low angles with a minimum 20° geometry span.

Background Capture Continuity

Preserves active lid following across macOS Spaces and virtual desktops without raising settings windows.

• Desktop switching retains process identity and smoothly resumes ScreenCaptureKit stream without altering enabled state.
• Removed legacy 45-second auto-pause timeout; stillness timer and keyboard shortcuts remain active.

Metal 3.0 Apple Silicon Validation

Validated on Apple M4 MacBook Pro with offscreen 3024 × 1964 render verification. 95th percentile GPU time clocked under 2.30ms across all effects.
