What is new in Stash 0.3.1
## What's fixed - **Control Center controls stay in the menu bar.** A control you add to the menu bar on its own (Dark Mode, Stage Manager, a third-party control) was hidden for as long as Stash ran, expanded or not, and had no row in Settings. Stash now keeps controls visible and lists them in Settings with a switch icon, so you can set them to Visible, Hide or Always hide like any app. (#10) ## Install or update Stash offers the update itself. With Homebrew: ```sh brew upgrade --cask brentc22/stash/stash xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Stash.app ```
