New Features

Image comparison improvements

Due to changes in the menu bar icon image data supplied by macOS, I had to revisit the image comparison algorithm, I have taken this opportunity improve the algorithms ability to spot useful differences, and ignore non important changes. Basically its better at ignoring light/dark mode, resolution or menu bar size differences, and better at spotting intentional color changes (such as part of an icon turning red), or shape changes.

Re-added the ability to only use the Bartender Bar on screens with a notch

Now you can once again set Bartender to only use the Bartender Bar on screens with a notch.
