What's new in this version:

New features:
General:
- Switch will run on the Mac ARM Apple silicon and will not require the Rosela Translation Layer
- Add user alert when there is a conflict between container and essence metadata
- Added support for macOS 14 (Sonoma) and 15 (Sequoia)

Improved:
- Added support for passing timecode to external device
- Added support for automatic Teletext page detection

Fixed:
- Addressed issue where DNX Specification 2.0 DNxHD 36 would not open
- Addressed an issue with CEA 608 and CEA 708 captions not being shown in the Switch Inspector
- Addressed an issue with collecting support information on MacOS. The System Profile support information is now gathered in a file called “SystemProfile.spx” on MacOS systems.
- Addressed an issue with OP47 436M Teletext not being displayed in Switch.
- Disabled sync correction in the MPEG-1 system and MPEG-2 transport stream and program stream container readers. This avoids insertion of black frames to fill gaps, overlaps and discontinuities in the timestamps in the file. Please note that files with timestamp gaps/discontinuities in the video may result in AV sync issues
- Improved external playout via AJA Kona and Blackmagic cards to no longer downscale 4K/2K files to 1080p on Mac
