| New Feature: | Preview caption date formats in the menu, with standard regional formats and a numeric date-and-time choice. |
| New Feature: | Follow clear update-installation steps after downloading, with separate Finder, disk-image, and Quit actions and a return to release notes. |
| Enhancement: | Simplified playback-default explanations and moved Apply to Existing Media below the defaults group. |
| Enhancement: | Aligned slider values and refined spacing, help text, and button widths across the app. |
| Bug Fix: | Disabled picture-duration controls when Loop for a Duration supplies the total display time instead. |
| Bug Fix: | Kept downloaded installers in accessible app storage so sandboxed updates do not depend on permission to write to Downloads. |
| Bug Fix: | Kept the app open when an update cannot be saved or opened, and prevented failed or empty downloads from appearing complete. |
| Bug Fix: | Aligned the caption background-opacity slider with its label and percentage. |
| Bug Fix: | Corrected the background-music crossfade help to point to Settings > Audio. |
