The format is based on Keep a Changelog.
v2.9.12
π Security / Stability
- Disabled debugging features in production build: To enhance security for the public release, access to "Developer Tools" has been completely disabled in the packaged application. This eliminates the risk of unintended internal operations by users and ensures a more secure and stable environment.
v2.9.11
βοΈ Improved
- Updated License Reissue Policy: Introduced a clearer and more sustainable policy regarding license reissuance due to PC replacement, etc. The first reissue within one year of purchase is free, while subsequent reissues or those after one year will require a fee. This balances user support with fraud prevention. Updated the EULA and website FAQ accordingly.
v2.9.10
βοΈ Improved
- Updated In-App Privacy Policy to Full Content: Fixed an issue in previous versions where the end of the Japanese Privacy Policy (`PrivacyPolicy_ja.txt`) included in the app was omitted.

v2.9.9
βοΈ Improved
- Modernized In-App Legal Documents: Updated the "Privacy Policy" accessible from the Help menu to be more accurate and detailed, matching the website version.

Also updated and unified "EULA", "License", and "Third Party Notices" to ensure consistency.
v2.9.8
βοΈ Improved
- Comprehensive Review and Strengthening of Legal Documents: Completely revamped the End-User License Agreement (EULA) displayed at first launch to specify the seller (agarllup LLC) and detail disclaimers and license migration conditions for a more robust content.
