0.4.0 Beta

Installation

Download the .exe file from the Assets section after "What's New". Make sure to download the correct version for your computer's architecture-- if you're not sure, it's probably x64.

Raw MSIX packages are available, but be warned that they cannot be installed directly without manually trusting the signing certificate embedded within them. The EXE installers will do this for you, and automatically remove the certificate once the app is installed.
