Changelog

This is major release with all applications running in true 64bit mode.

It's also a major update for the graphics. Almost all graphics are now vector based and screen resolution independent. In addition, there is better HiDPI support for all menus and buttons.

There are also lots of small improvements (not listed below) which make the setup and the apps more stable in various rare edge cases.

Finally, we updated all development tools. Thanks to the true 64bit mode we have a simplified tool chain which results in faster startup times for all Magic Utilities applications.

Do not use in critical production environments.
