What is new in MenuBarUSB 3.5

**Changes**
- In the Ethernet settings tab, below the option to display an Ethernet icon when a wired connection is detected, a notice was added informing users that starting with macOS 27 Golden Gate, this feature is built into the operating system _(You can only see this message if you are using macOS 27 or later)_.

**Bugs**
- Fixed a bug where connecting a USB device through different ports or hubs could cause information loss ([Issue #12](https://github.com/rafaelSwi/MenuBarUSB/issues/12)).

**Others**
- Updating to this version will may cause previously saved USB device information, such as names and hierarchy, to be lost due to the new unique ID algorithm.
