Hey #TeamShadow,
TLDR: Last update for 2020, now officially on the Official App! After the dynamic quality, we serve you an even better experience with the arrival of network notifications and Windows scaling management. We'll add a few small fixes and sprinkle it all in with the addition of rudimentary support for your brand new PS5 DualSense and Xbox Series X | S controllers thanks to the mapping you, our great community, provided us.
Here are all the changelogs for this week:
