Wizard redesign (thanks @js-john)
Store .utm bundles anywhere on disk (including on external drives) and import them as a shortcut. See notes below for some limitations.

(iOS) UTM v3.1.x will be the last update to support iOS 11 and iOS 12. If you are still running those versions, please make sure you report any issues now so they can be fixed by the final release of v3.1.x. After that, iOS 13+ will be required to run future versions of UTM.
This update makes significant changes to the backend of UTM which may have introduced more issues than usual. As a precaution, please make sure you back up your VMs before running this beta in case there are bugs that cause data loss.
You can now run .utm files stored anywhere. There are a few caveats: First, all newly created VMs will still be created in the default storage (app sandbox). You can move the VM after creation with the new button on the toolbar or by right clicking (or force touch) on the VM entry and selecting "Move..." Second, when VM shortcuts are deleted, the underlying data is unaffected, and shortcuts are automatically deleted when they are no longer valid (for example, the .utm was moved). You can re-import the .utm by either double clicking it from Finder, or using "File -> Import Virtual Machine..." Finally, Apple VMs do not support persistent shortcuts, which means the shortcut is always deleted after UTM quits. This means you must re-import Apple VMs every time UTM is launched.

Automatically delete broken bookmarks for removable drives and shared directories after showing the error once (Auto-eject removable drives on VM start if the linked file was (re)moved #3575)
Refactored backend QEMU VM manager to support Swift concurrency and also fix some rare race issues
Added picker for console background and text colour (thanks @ktprograms)
Added font style (bold/italics) for console font as well as font chooser for macOS (thanks @ktprograms)
Fixed crash/freeze when using UTM URL actions (Starting with 3.1b, starting a guest via open utm://start?name=<guest> crashes UTM.app #3642)
(iOS) Wizard: style was incorrect on iOS 14
(iOS) Keyboard visibility state is now stored globally instead of per-VM
(iOS) Fixed an issue where the keyboard always pops up when an alert shows
(iOS) On iOS 13.4, old cursor functionality is restored when it was broken by the iOS 14 cursor implementation
(iOS) iOS 15 introduced a kernel race that leads to a panic and sometimes a purple screen and device reboot whenever GL is used. This has been fixed by reducing the possibility of the race (while we wait for Apple to fix it in iOS kernel) (Purple Screen Reboot on iOS/iPadOS 15 when using OpenGL graphics #2743)
(iOS) Better error message when attempting to launch an unsupported architecture in UTM SE (Booting Solaris from the UTM gallery gives a long error message #3635)
(macOS) Added descriptions to screen resolutions and notch-hiding resolutions (thanks @pointum)

Improved design of wizard on iOS (thanks @js-john)
Updated zh-Hans translation (thanks @ty-yqs)
Refactored backend renderer into CocoaSpice
Updated backend code to use Swift 5.5 concurrency features
In Apple VM configs, do not discard non-persistent settings (shared directories) when canceling out of settings window
Add option to run VM as a shortcut (see notes above) (Store and load VMs outside of the app sandbox #132, Run .utm from anywhere #1205)
Added icon for Pop! OS to picker (thanks @conath)
Fixed QEMU custom argument parsing when there is quoted space in middle of the argument (QEMU custom arguments cannot contain spaces. #3579)
Update the VM screenshot on a timer (Update the screenshot from a timer #3499)
Added new global setting to disable saving screenshot to disk
Improved synchronization of state from the VM window and the main window (play button visible when stopped, busy spinner visible when starting, etc)
(iOS) Fix crash while installing on older versions of jailbroken iOS (Can't install UTM properly (jailbreak version) #3543)
(macOS) Fix an issue where Apple VM aux storage was not created when switching from Linux to macOS boot option
(macOS) Ability to move a .utm VM to external storage
(macOS) Toolbar option to delete VM should be disabled when VM is running
(macOS) Support taking screenshots of Apple VMs

Please check the full list on Github and help report any bug you find that is not listed.

iOS 14 and below: There is a known issue crashing while running under taurine but not unc0ver. (Crash on launch when installed using Taurine jailbreak #3628)
