Workaround for macOS Big Sur compatibility. Big thanks for @bradhowes for providing the fix!

Please note that this release drops software update support and the hot key editing UI, as those embedded frameworks were causing code signing issues. The quick workaround was to just remove them from the build. A full fix is in the works.

This release also includes Apple Silicon support (though I don't have an Apple Silicon based machine yet, so I can't vouch for it).

v1.9.0

• MidiKeys is now 64-bit, so it works on Catalina and future macOS versions.
• Minimum system version is 10.11.
• Keys window is resizable (probably the most asked-for feature request).
• Support for system dark mode, including a dark mode keyboard. A "force light keyboard" preference is visible to allow you to revert the keyboard to a traditional appearance.
• Added Clear Stuck Keys command.
• On systems with a trackpad or mouse that reports pressure, MidiKeys will send channel aftertouch when keys are clicked and held.
• New "show C notes" feature that draws "Cn" where "n" is the octave (i.e., C3, C4, etc) on the keyboard.
• Fixed an issue with key caps where certain keys like tab and delete were not shown; they will now appear as the standard key icons.
• Restored and updated German and French localisations.
• Changed version update feed URL to https.
• Updated Sparkle and ShortcutRecorder frameworks to modern versions.
• No longer a universal binary.

v1.8.0

Archived version 1.8 release.

This version works with macOS 10.5 through 10.14. Because it is 32-bit only, it will not work on 10.15 (Catalina) or later.
