SpendLessDaw 1.4.2 - Automatic updates, public beta access and signed Windows app

SpendLess 1.4.2 brings automatic macOS updates, public beta access, signed Windows installers, and safer project tempo handling.

Updates and public beta access

• macOS can now download updates automatically and offer Restart or Later, instead of requiring a manual download for every release.
• Choose Stable or Public beta in Settings > Advanced > Updates. The selection takes effect after restarting SpendLess; no account is required.
• Update checks run at startup and every six hours. Notifications are shown once per version per session.
• Returning to Stable does not downgrade your installed version. If you are running a newer beta, SpendLess waits for a newer stable release.
• A confirmation explains what happens when changing channels while an update is already ready to install.

Upgrading from macOS 1.4.1 or earlier: install this release manually using the DMG one final time. Subsequent updates can use the automatic update flow. macOS 13 or later is required.

Signed Windows application

• The application, installer and uninstaller are now code-signed and timestamped.
• Windows continues to download updates automatically and offer a restart when they are ready.

Project editing and interface fixes

• Existing project tempos can no longer be changed from the project editor, preserving the BPM stored in the project.
• Projects created from custom templates retain the template's tempo. Tempo remains configurable when creating from Default.
• Artist and genre fields are displayed side by side in the editor.
• Restored the previous Projects, Archives and folder icons, including those in Advanced settings.
