Plans
Additionally, we have extended account maintenances for the delay between the 2021 and 2024 releases. Please check your account to find out if your maintenance is still active or if you have to renew it with a discount.
We are also testing a new rendering engine based on WebView2 for a future release, aimed at making EXE files smaller as CEF has become increasingly large.
