Companion v4.2.0 - Release Notes
This is a slightly smaller release than usual, focussing more on smaller improvements.
End of support for macOS 11
This version of Companion requires macOS 12 or later
Rebuilt Documentation
The Companion User Guide has been rewritten to use a new rendering system.
This allows us to host a new publicly available version of the documentation online which is versioned per release, as well as building it in a simplified form within Companion
The new tools allow us to do more with the documentation and will make it easier for us to keep up to date too!
Improved Expression Editor
The expression editor input field has been rebuilt, making it easier to use with functionality you would expect from a code editor. This includes functions and keyword suggestions, and better handling of multi-line expressions.
