Universal version is here! With a lot of other improvements!

Version 1.6.0 is the first version with complete macOS 11 support, Apple Silicon included (it come late but previous version was working fine with Rosetta 2).

In addition to that, we improved the support for Light/Dark UI Style, especially with Dynamic mode. Hello IT is now able to follow dynamic changes, for both icon and text based menu item.

Regarding text for menu item (both within your custom menu or in the status bar) we now supported computed text, so you can display your username or whatever you want in your menu bar instead of the Hello IT icon or a static text.

We also fixed some glitches in image management with some functions. Now the imageBaseName should works everywhere.

Hello IT v1.5.0 bring two new capabilities!

First, a new function called [[public.command]] to handles the needs of simplify external command to run. You set a static title and a command path with arguments, and it run when the user click on it.

And you still can use [[public.script.item]] for more advanced scenarios with dynamic title, rules, etc. And now [[public.script.item]] get even more powerful with the addition of hitp-open command: your scripted item can now return an URL that will be open by Hello IT.

The [[public.ad.pass]] function is also improved to avoid any lock of the UI if the directory service take too much time to answer.

Both of this new security option are disabled by default.
