I am super excited to announce that with this release Bartender 4 has finished its public beta.
This does not mean I am stopping working on Bartender 4, anything but! As I still have many exciting features I want to add.
This means Bartender 4 has now been thoroughly tested by all you great users (thank you!) and I am confident it works as expected on all the many different user setups.
If you have not yet purchased a license, your 4 week trial of Bartender 4 will start now.

The screen recording menu bar item should now show a lot faster when you start recording your screen, and is in the shown section by default. You can move it to the hidden section if you prefer.

Bartender will keep hidden items shown when you are using the UI of a menu bar item, this could stop items hiding if in an app that also has a menu bar item, this has been fixed.

Small changes to the UI to help initial user experience.

This has been fixed.

Command+Q would quit Bartender from any of its UI, even when not the active app which is not desirable. The ability to quit Bartender with command Q has been removed.

Thank you to the user who provided me with examples of Show for update image comparisons that have given incorrect results, using these I have tuned the image comparison more.

Activating menu bar items from the Bartender Bar would sometimes wrongly include the option key, this has been fixed.

Bartender could shift the menu bar items for a split second when changing spaces, this has been fixed.

For some users menu bar item spacing is not being applied after a macOS restart, and a logout and back in is required. This version has test fixes in place for this.

This has effected a very small number of users and seems linked to accessing Current Session Dictionary, I have removed this and it should hopefully fix this issue.

This has been fixed

Pressing Esc in Quick search after searching for something would not reset the shown results back to all items, it does now.
