Release Notes

What changed in v0.1.0 build 4.

Public beta build 4: new app icon, website favicon, and designed DMG background.

Photanchor keeps scan and backup records in Application Support on your Mac. Licensing never receives local safety data. Photanchor is not a Time Machine replacement and cannot copy cloud-only files until they have been downloaded locally.
