 - [Beta feedback thread](https://github.com/cyanfish/naps2/discussions/35)
- Added Mac support
 - Supports macOS 10.15 and later
 - The Universal download should work for all users. Or you can use the Intel/Apple Silicon downloads for a smaller download/install size if you know which one your Mac has.
 - NAPS2 on Mac bundles SANE drivers for USB scanners, allowing supported scanners to be used even on new M1/M2 Macs (which normally wouldn't work without manufacturer-provided drivers)

 - Requires Flatpak for installation (https://flatpak.org/setup/)
 - Mono is no longer required
 - The UI should now feel like a native Linux app
 - Much better performance and reliability
- TWAIN support has been reworked

 - TWAIN should also now support scanning larger images (e.g. 1200dpi) without out-of-memory issues
- Upgraded Tesseract to 5.2.0 for OCR
