Faster Window Snapping:
- In general Window Snapping should be much faster, especially on retina screens
- Window snapping has now a "High Performance Mode" which can be activated in the advanced preferences. It significantly increases the performance of the window snapping animation, but also significantly increases the memory usage of BTT
Touch Bar:
- The Touch Bar brightness slider uses a different API and shouldn't be dimmed back by the system anymore.
- The Apple Script widget now allows to run Apple Scripts which only update the widget by pressing it. To achieve this, assign the "Run Apple Script (enter directly as text)" predefined action. (You can leave the script field in the widget settings empty if you don't need timer based updates).

Mouse Gestures / Drawings:
- You can now set a minimum movement that is required before starting to recognize right-click drawings.
- Drawing gestures should now only be recognized while being drawn with approximately the rotation they were recorded with (can be changed in the advanced settings).
