6.0.0
2019-11-05
New Features:
- Starting with macOS 10.14, Merlin Project now also supports the dark appearance in all views.

Printing always takes place in the light appearance, while image exports take place in the currently selected appearance.

- The new "Inspector Appearance" program setting allows the inspector to be brightened for a consistently bright appearance.
