• Added MacOS-derived traffic lights: turn them on in Settings -> Visuals

• You can now press r on the crash screen to restart

• I've begun rolling out the App Store: it allows you to distribute apps you made to other ArcOS users. There's also the pkg command in ArcTerm, which is the command-line equivalent.

• The titlebar has been partially rewritten to no longer overflow in any direction

• The Location Unavailable spam some users experienced in the file manager has been fixed

• ArcOS will no longer crash if it tries to open a shortcut that points to a drive which isn't mounted

• Third-party apps will no longer be able to crash ArcOS unintentionally with unhandled exceptions.

• ArcOS' documentation site (https://docs.arcapi.nl/) has been updated in large ways, including rewrites and organized pages.

• Several API calls have been updated and optimised to make ArcOS faster and lighter.

• Changing your profile picture should now immediately reflect it across the current ArcOS instance again.

• The development environment has received support for v7cli version 1.0.15, which includes CSS hot-reloading for .css files. Unfortunately this 1.0.15 update does make it incompatible with ArcOS 7.0.3 and below.
